Maybe playing in the snow wasnt too good for the Mad Rat's plastic, i dont know.

The car is cheap, the parts are cheap just dont want to spend money every 2 weeks for new parts. Expecially when iam not racing or playing all the time...

So iam hesitating to invest in a E-firestorm, but i want to hear some advices.
What is your experience about these Mad Rat injures, how often brakes any parts and which ones?

Thanks
I've had one rear hub break...that's it. I was driving at Stotfold a couple of weeks ago and went through 3 batteries had no damages at all and car was great. However a brand new Yokomo broke 2 rear Arms... that car is vastly more expensive then the X-Pro so it's all situational. I had a nice clean drive and all was well.the Yokomo was not so luck on that day

Oh..and I have an E-Firestorm truggy for bashing around and maybe racing later..it's a very tough car. First drive I had was on insanely rough ground with rocks on it almost as big as it's wheels and it coped very well and nothing was damaged...awesome truggy. I do have alloy hubs all round..
