Every 1/10 4wd buggy will break parts if you crash hard enough. I've owned quite a few 4wd buggies and the toughest is definately the Tamiya 501x, it's built like a tank. The arms are thick and durable. As with any off road vehicle belt or shaft, drive train maintenance is required. I regretted selling my 501x away and now am looking to get one again cos it handles really well. As for the DF-03, stay away from it, it breaks way too easily...dark impact? hmmm it's more like dark lemon...
