I’ve beat mine fairly well and the only thing I broke so far is the stock steering servo arm. Which I should have just used metal from the start but. I love the thing. Very reliable for me so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Iv found it’ll crawl over most obstacles with ease but I have broken several cv pins and the stock trailing arms but that was totally my fault the back wheel got stuck under a hang over and I gave it some power and it just snapped instantly,...   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mine has proven to handle crawling tasks quite well. I'd say the weakest point is the CV pins in the upgraded front CV axles. I'm not sure it would fair too well as a basher.

The problem areas I hear about are with the upgrade CV axles, transmission/dig shifting issues, and some broken roll cage tubes from crashes. It's also fairly complicated to disassemble when you need to fix something, so overall it's not the best basher. Having said that, this is my favorite truck based purely on design. It's like a greatest-hits collection of plagiarized Axial design features with some custom Gmade touches thrown in. Love it. |
