I find the car much more durable than expected. It will break the mentioned front arms mostly and towers if you earn it. Given that, on practice nights if you have a lot of 4x4 short course and 1/8th scales, you will have to be patient. 8 pound cars and carbon fiber don't mix well.
Maintenance wise, you will strip gears if you run your slipper too tight, and the diffs so far I have rebuilt one time with a good 30 to 40 packs in. I find testing them with tires off for a gritty feel gives you more feed back on the diffs. To test the gears, take your pinion off and spin the drive train. This car is awesome and worth any maintenance.
