I wouldn't count on this being your only vehicle you'll want to take to the track with you then. I'd consider myself a totally decent driver, and I've had minor breakage (front A-arms, front links, etc) due to folks not calling out they are stalled on the track (come off a jump and land right into them on the downside) as well as the casual SCT bashing / hacking crappy drivers. The car is strong, but also fragile at the same time. After having a 44.1 for some time, that's the best way I can describe it. I am now selective of how many drivers and car types of when I'll put my 44 down on the track. I drive my B4.1 far more frequently, cause it's far more durable in the event of contact from other vehicles. But dang is 4WD buggy so awesome
