I think the key to reducing breakages in the old ZX-5 is to keep close eye on the parts looking for cracks. I am pretty sure that the silly knocks that break stuff are a result of me not seeing damage that was already there before the race. I cannot fault the strength of the car in any other area though. For two seasons this buggy has had to endure the worst of my driving and nine times out of ten, you just flip it back onto its wheels and off it goes! Absolutely love it.
i agree with this post, the lazer holds up very well against the hard crashes, but some of the weaker crashes just suprise me with the things that break. but this car is a top 4wd car and it is great.
