The plastics are much lower quality than other cars on the market. All the arms and hubs have slop in them, the rack has slop and the spur eight has a high spot or is not centered. I agree the diffs are holding up well. The snap on shock caps like to pop off in practice...not in a race yet /crosses fingers. I like the way the car drives, but IMO it is not high quality. It does not break because the arms have massive flex. I can easily twist the front hubs almost 90 deg. The bones and drive cups seem to be wearing well also. Since the far drives well, I am just replacing plastics as they strip out. The plastic remind me of the original rc10 nylon parts.
