You should not have any problems with the durability of the truck, the only thing I would do is replace the ball cups as the ones that come on the RTR are very cheap. The brushed motors that come in the RTR's are kinda hit and miss, I had one that lasted forever on a big jump dirt track, my buddies crapped out after two weeks. The biggest thing you need to watch out for is temp because on carpet you will have really good traction and that will put more stress on the motor. You may be able to gear it down a bit depending on the size of your track to put less strain on the motor. IF you do end up needing a new motor, get a traxxas 12T Titan. They are cheap, have plenty of power and usually last a long time if you break them in. Hope that helps!
