I'm having a blast with mine and haven't broken anything yet running 2s and 3s a couple times for showing off speed capabilites to friends. The plastic shock bodies do suck if you intend to do any kind of jumping stiffer springs are a MUST. I ran mine a lot in stock form but eventually couldn't stand it any longer and I heavily modified it and I'm much much happier now. It handles better,drives smoother and is a terror at my LHS track. I honestly can't break it under normal conditions on the track or bashing. Definitly the best mini I've owned yet.
I'm looking forward to getting the tubes and aluminum shock bodies,waiting for Horizon Hobby to get up to speed with Hop Ups
