Looking for an R/C that wont break

lol, any vehicle will break given enough speed. Even if you beef everything up, the added weight will just add inertia and cause damage anyway. The best you can hope for is to find a vehicle with a cheap and plentiful supply of local parts.

Until she figures things out, run at lower voltage if possible. Setting the EPA is generally not the best way to go about it.
