Car is very very weak. Suspension and steering parts can easily be broken by the most minor incidents and the driveshafts can sheer in half for no apparent reason. A real shame as the car goes well with fairly decent speedo, motor combo though anything over the standard 14.8v will get it quite hot. Will do around 7-10 minutes on the 3200mAh batteries supplied and 15-20 minutes on aftermarket 5000mAh batteries

This buggy seems to be made of fine bone china...

Nice to look at, very functional, is nice to use but clip anything with it or put it down too hard and it's broken.

I've not seen one do more than 10 minutes without something breaking on it, which is a shame because out of the box it's very nice and goes round our track very well. But heavy landings, clipping barriers or other cars means broken bits.

C-hubs, diff cases and shock towers seem to be the most commonly broken parts. All the early ones had plastic nuts inside the shocks which used to break off quickly, the newer ones come with the upgraded matal nuts.
