Okay, I did shear the right front off of the car twice in one day, but that was with a one-way and running carpet. 
I stopped breaking c-hubs on the original XXXS about a month after I bought the kit (change in Stifezel formula? Maybe I just got used to the car and stopped hitting as much!)
I also stopped breaking shock shafts after I yanked the titanium nitride ones out and replaced them with the stockers. Yeah, the titanium was lighter, but also more brittle. The nitride coating, perhaps? Dunno - I'm not a chemist. 
The Losi's a good car. However, I have an XRay and love it.

Is it true that the kit tires and inserts are shite and a wider front bumper is a good idea?
