If anything, the only only part that's in real need of an overhaul is the shock stand-offs. They are known to break off quite easily if you land upside-down even once. The other small things like steering link ends have already been solved. Some people replace them with Arrma Kraton EXB ends and its far tougher.
The chassis is only 3mm thick, which for a 4hp truck and at this weight and speed is surely going to result in XTR's folded in half.
That being said, the way I use my truck, with normal jumping and the occasional roll over etc - nothing is broken. Or bent. It's perfectly alright.
It's purely down to how you want to run the truck and how much heavier you need to make it to cope with the abuse you intend to put it through.
