I broke a shock shaft on mine, but it was flat out into a car that was stuck on a pipe so I will let it off. I lost count of how many B44 factory team front shafts myself and my friends went through when we were running them, until we switched to the standard b4 ones.
My friend chris is running an x-pro4 and he has done a few shock shafts but he does have a tendancy to clip corners at quite high speeds, he is getting betetr at driving but he only really started racing about a year ago and to eb fair his x4 has stood up to quite a bit of punishment since he got it. If you compare the race completion to breakage ratio on the xxx-cr that he used to race it has definatly done a lot better than the losi.
I think it was just an unfortunate set of breakages this beginner has had with his car. At least with the ansmann it is quite cheap to repair when it does get broken.
I reckon the blizzard is a lot stronger out of the box compared to a Kyosho Lazer ZX-5 RTR though.
