2017 - good price, good tech, good materials, (a lot of good uses for rc's)
although i may have to put a disclaimer in here - where i read good uses may have been for planes and drones



this is the impression i get as well with the current tech



high stress points (probably), but is everything a high stress point on a RC, or different rc's like rock crawlers that are slower?
You failed to qoute the part of my post where I mention low stress areas.

​​​​​All you can do is try, I wouldn't run any 3d printed parts on the axles, transmission, or drive shafts.
