If you run brushless then you have to get the slipper and the heat sink bars that go on top of the motor plate. It was my learning stage in that time period. I ran the car without the slipper, since I was running brushed, I went through 1 gear set the entire 1 year time span I had it. Just let off the throttle when you land and your gears will last a long time. I also ran associated shocks on it. When the B44 first came out I sold it. If you want to learn how to drive a 4-wheel buggy a DF03 or Durga is the way to go. I had a DF02 gravel hound as well, tough as nails, I tried to break it and it never gave up on me.
I wasnt scared to run with the 8th scale buggies with the gravel hound, it took very hard hits from them. Fun years from my novice days.
