It's pretty generally known around here, that RPM makes better replacement parts than the OEM. And from what I've read, pretty much every Traxxas owner replaces broken parts with RPM parts, because they ARE tougher than the stock.
Fixed dat
Only RPM part I heard of that sucks is the wheel hubs on the merv due to them being too soft, and the ball ends pulling through.
