The axles seem to be heat treated too much too hard, I have snapped 2 fronts and 2 rears in the amount of time I have owned this car (~2 years). Shocks are just plain bad compared to kyosho.
These just my opinions of course, but the gear diff issue has been brought up too much lolz getting tired of it.
And the reason you break outdrives is because you don't pay attention to correct amount of downtravel shims inside the shocks and uptravel limiters on the outside.
So for every time you land a jump and bottom out and for every jump the suspension reaches full downward travel your outdrives takes a beating.
I will bet a ton of money you have visible wear marks on your driveshafts were they hit the outdrives.
This will also cause the car to unsettle on landing and make it even harder to get those perfect smooth landings.
Once again basic setup tweaks that the unexperienced "forgets"
It's all a learning curve......
