Pins in the rear arms used to fall out, Shocks are regarded as the worst of all the large scale cars. Eats spur gears for fun

And the front hubs where the steering arm connects is prone to braking

 

Dont get me wrong, when working well was a great race car but im not sure you'll get much fun out of it for bashing

I am just building mine been building for a couple of years(2nd)

 

my first is mint very strong. Couple of things I have picked up from the comments about pins falling out which mine has never done. Also I have double sprung the shocks which has helped immensely on the rear and just make sure that you thread lock everything and it will serve you well

 

I have none of the problems of spur gears being eaten up for fun I would suggest checking the wear on the teeth because I keep mine well greased and I am still on my original spur gear. I also have a 30cc tuned engine with tuned pipe and walboro carb fitted which I have tweaked the needle jet head and barrel lips to give better hp. 
 

only thing I can fault on mine is I have the multiplex jumbo servos instead of the tonewaga setup for steering. The weight plays a big part in the steering. I am now resorting to upgrading to this if anyone has one send me a message lol
