Agreed, I've done around 6 or 7 meetings in total and just finished a 3 day (including practice) event indoors here in the uk, and despite a fair few barrel rolls on hard surfaces and also some MAJOR jumpage a couple of times onto the solid floor I haven't bust a single thing, from when it was first built!
I also find it such a "friendly" car to run, handling wise it has very few vices, and I have never had a 2wd which jumps so well, very little side to side roll and a very good arc to it's flight! Very impressed with it so far!!
