Gee, I must be.
So far, the ONLY pieces I've broken have been front end (full throttle oblique into the wall - tower, arms and a diff case. receiver pack went dead, wasn't charging for me. . .rrrrr) and, ummmm, well, oh yeah a body post. My buddy has me beat by, well, all of that. He hasn't had to replace anything (although he has a body post that's starting to go. . .)
Maybe I'm just unusual that way. But I've had the same luck with the other cars I've owned. I just don't see this car as all that fragile compared with the GT-4, V1R(R), Serps and Mugs.
BTW - those replacements that you gave are wreck-related. You don't break a fuel tank unless you're T-boned. . .hard. Were you in a GT-4 you wouldn't have broken a tank, but it would have been something else, likely a brace, tensioner, layshaft mount (rear or front) or the like. . . Pretty much the same with the others (GT-4 being a "normal" designed 3-belt system). . .
Anyway, I'll put my NTC3 up against anyone's other car in a fragility contest. . .ummmmm, wait, other way around. . .
