rpm arms are a good start
no truck can be really bullet proof but the MGT is a pretty good truck
i've never raced mine,just bash the snot out of it
so far this is what i've broken in a year:
rear shock tower
3 lower front arms
2 upper arms
lots of axle carriers
2 front bumpers
thats really about it
if you want more punch off the line get the FOC kit...of course no more reverse
put your battery on ch.4 of the reciever...makes the servos faster
