I agree to a certian extent, the nitro's do seem to be tougher toa certian extent. But there is an electric stadium that is as tough as any nitro, thats an associated T4. It has the GT diff and is all around stable with brushless power (except for on 3s:020: ) and the only parts i ever broke were my doing not from the power. I have a t4 RTR as well and run it for a year before i stepped up to the team, I never adjusted or rebuilt the diff in the time i run it. The T3 is good as well and in some cases may be better, the suspension seems to be tougher than the T4 and i have had one for four years and never rebuilt the diff. The reason i mentioned the diffs so much, is because i got friends who race XXX-T's and with stock (old style)ss5800's, they rebuild their diffs every 5 runs, because from the 6th to the 8th run, the diff will fail
