Everybody, including me on my personal X - 60, wants a car that never breaks. Big thick beefy parts made of relatively flexible material designed to last forever no matter what. But if the car does not win, nobody will buy it, so it's got to be stiff and we must save weight everywhere.
The perfect example is Traxxas, who at least for a while guaranteed every part on their buggy for life. The backyard bashers love it, but I haven't seen many on the podium.
At X Factory our primary concern is winning races. We do consider durability -- the vast majority of breakage on X Cars is the AE parts -- but we assume nobody ever runs an X Car in their yard, that the Family only run at organized race tracks. So we build the fastest race car we can and give the famous 50-50 guarantee.

just wondering if x factory ever taught of making a 2wd buggy without a doner car?
