I had the standard spec buggy, very nice piece of kit especially the race spec one because of the upgrades. If its going to be used for bashing, dont bother, the chassis is pretty weak and will banana after a few jumps and prangs. I upgraded the chassis to a Dragon Racing 3.2mm CNC item and then it was bashable :)

weak points were the hinge pins and E Clips, put stainless nuts and bolts to replace them and its a different machine, brick solid. Also make sure all the diffs are shimmed properly or swap them for hyper 7 diffs and diff pinions, cheaper to replace and stronger due to straight cut teeth instead of the standard helical cut diff rings and pinions.
