I have a complete album of the local guys working on their 210's while our b4's sat ready to run. They wouldnt run practice laps for fear of breaking before a race. I am still going to brace the rear link mounts as i dont think that the design is as strong as a separate mounting area.
I've ran 1/8 buggy for years and over the past few years wheeler & 4x SCT. This is my 1st 2wd buggy and I am very impressed with how tough it is. I have driven it for a few months and the one part that broke was a rear hub. There have been many wrecks that I thought for sure would take out the little guy but no, got marshalled and still in the race
I wouldn't be too worried about durability.
