I think the pede/rustler do have some weak spots.. but they are not too difficult or expenxive to fix.

I agree totally... the nitro versions are normally built tougher. A classic example.. probably the best one... was the HPI MT 1/10 truck. The original electric truck was a horribly fragile piece of crap. But then they redid the whole truck and came out with the nitro version. For some reason they never redesigned the electric, but dumped it instead.

My cousin still has a like new electric mt.... you almost have to treat it like a vintage r/c...
