Default kyosho RB6 Durability...

Im thinking about changing chassis, from the Cougar Sv2 to the RB6 due to the cougar being so brittle. Im breaking something nearly every run yes my driving does need improving, but most the impacts aren't to severe. My question is how do other racers find the durability of the RB6? I've seen some serious crashes in meetings and they just seem to stand up to almost anything... haha

With the Losi 22, the RB6 is one of the strongest. RB6 out does the 22 on performance though, especially in the damp/wet IMHO.

Sounds very promising indeed, is there any upgrades i would need out of the box to get it running well?
