hey buddy, im still trying to figure out what some of you folks expect. this thing is about twice the weight of most 4wd e buggies and every bit as fast and roughly the same size components. If you enjoy the truck, just buy the hubs and knuckles and youll not bust that crap anymore, the only thing i keep breaking is front arms . Im waiting for my buddy finish repairing my medusa and im putting Mike's billet long arms on his extended chassis with doubled rear pin capture plates and that will realy harden the truck.but that costs alot but i enjoy the truck very much so its worth it to me.if your lookn for tuff trucks ,buy a slash 4x4 but that gonna break too? try to have fun and just have spres around
