I've had my Jammin for almost a year now and the main things I have broke are related to the my driving, not them being weak parts.

I have cracked 3 front tranny cases and broken 2 left side steering posts. All of that breakage was due to being new to real off road tracks and driving. When I was learning to take jumps I kept coming up short so I kept slamming into the tops of jumps directly with the front end and flexing the heck out of the chassis. When that would happen, the bolts to the tranny would split the case and the muffler stay would flex into the steering post snapping it off.

Other than that, the only part i have broken was a front arm and hinge pin when i was hack by another driver directly into the dividing wall ot pit lane.
