Default RE: Fun Factor-Doesn't this defeat the purpose?

Well, i'm about 15 or so tanks into driving. And I've got a broken shock, 1 broken diff cup, and at least one other diff cup that is cracked. I think i'm going to order 4 new aluminum shocks for it. Any suggestions? And I need to do the diff cup mod. I'm suprised those parts are broken. I haven't even tried jumping it yet. [>:] Really going to be fun when I start jumping. Guess I'm just gonna have to get used to buying replacement parts. All in all I'm having a blast so far. What temperature is just way to much? Most of the time its around 220 to 260. Or at least that's what i've tried to keep it running at. Sometimes I'll get a reading of 300 degrees. After some really hard driving, full throttle runs through the leaves and such, the temp will just shoot through the roof. Is 300 degrees enough to do damage it?
