Is my rusty durable? HELL YEA it is. My regular bashing buddy runs a Ofna 9.5 9L 9918 on 14 cells, and i break parts on his sometimes :D

I regularly make jumps that would clear cars no problem. I'm planning to jump my pool on 12 cells once i build a ramp. Our regular bashing spot is a skate park. Alu castors and Front Shock tower help ALOT. i used to bust front shocks every other run, and figured it was due to the stock front shock tower having so much play/flex that when i landed wrong, the shocks compressed at not so good angles bending them or busting the mounts. The RPM rear arms are there because i busted the stockers after jumping off a 30foot drop. Alu castors are a MUST for a basher. I still have 6 pairs of stockers on hand because i used to bust them so much. Havent busted the alu in 5? weeks now. I run 2-3 packs a day atleast, and rarely break anything now. Between the custom steering links/tie rods, those 2 alu parts, and all the RPM stuff, its got a nice weight/strength ratio. That melted spur is the first replacement part i've had to get in 3 weeks.

As long as the drivetrain is greased and shimmed properly, these tranny's are more durable than alot of people make them out to be.
