We all appreciate what you guys are doing out there so why not try a crawler, its amazing what they can tackle in the way of obsticles, they may be slow but you tend to set yourself more difficulties each time you conquer one.
Dial in RC Rock Crawlers and look through some of the forums, some are like tube framed dune buggies others like scale versions of 1:1 off-roaders some likes Monster trucks and others like tubular space frame cross country racers.
Some of th Utube clips are really realistic. might give you some rest from replacing broken parts but could also utilise some of the no defunct spares you accumilatethe graded in scales from 1/10th to 1/5th scale and you can use brushed or brushles motors, one per axle or one driving through a central tranny box.
with the engineering skills you boys have at your disposal you could even make your own. Good Luck and hope all goes well for you guys Oh and welcome to the forum too.
