The only parts I've broken/damaged so far are:

Front bumper: The round "beam" broke away from the upper mount, but it was still functional.

One of my front shock caps was cross-threaded from the factory (or it came loose and shifted during a run)... It doesn't like to thread on straight but it's staying put for now. Waiting for parts to do the VCS bladder conversion.

Rear wheel: I,ve read about the rear axle pins stripping the hubs, so I followed a recommendation to fill them with JB Weld which cures nice and hard. Worked like a charm until the wheel nut came loose and stripped it out anyways.. I added some more JB Weld to rebuild the area, I hope it holds. If you use epoxy or JB Weld, make sure you fill the holes completely, otherwise it can break away and slide deeper and expose the thin areas again.


Motor: Literally melted. I was running 7-cell NiMh, i should have used a 15/16t pinion, I just wanted to see how long it would last.

Everything else is holding up pretty well.
