I've been racing and occasionally bashing my brushless thunder tiger ST-1 1/8th truggy since late October and the only things I've had to replace is a kyosho spur gear when my mesh slipped (I was still able to finish the race though), one centre diff gradually went bad after I was doing hard accelerating using 6s on road.
When I raced it last week I rammed it into a steel pole at ~15-20mph and slightly bent the brace holding the front hinge pin, but it didn't affected the handling for the rest of the day, so I'll just bend it back and re use it.
The body has been patched up with shoe goe a couple of times and will probably only last another month or 2. That's all that's gone wrong with that car so far.
I also went 5 1/2 years of racing and bashing my e-maxx, without braking a chassis (stock chassis for 5 years, cf racing chassis after that), or an arm. And it was only a few weeks before I switched to the truggy when I finally broke the stock bulk heads. I rarely broke parts on that e-maxx, even though it had some bad crahes.
