The turnbuckles/tirerods were definitely one of the first things I noticed, the shock towers look like they have some weak spots too. But damn, it sure is pretty. Also, I don't know if this is just a prototype or what? Production model could be a bit different.

I think the issue often times is that the design of these vehicles is for expert-level drivers. The team drivers get a prototype, and test it for a few months, and then come back to the design team and say, "Durability is great, we haven't broken anything." But in reality a pro-level driver is not a realistic example of who will be driving the kit. They don't spend a whole lot of time smashing into the boards or lawn darting from 20ft up like your average Joe who can't get around the track without a few spills along the way.

Still, looks awesome. I always liked the Robotronic Mantis truggy. You just don't see a whole lot of places carrying the Robotronic line.
