Default Redcat Trucks

Hi everyone i have a Redcat truck, it's not as durable as a buggie i heard so i'm not talking about the buggie so people don't get mixed up with the redcat problems that are different in a truck and buggy i have expericend nothing good about the trucks as soon as i got my truck i broke the steering arm and rear hub got it fixed and played with it at the local school ground and broke the stearing servo arm and the back shock mount remind you that i'm not jumping or doing anything crazy if you go to redcatracing.com and watch the video you see the difference between the buggy and truck but you also see that the truck do flips in the air, land and go right back to driving... now in my experience that didn't happen to me so the video probably had good crashes and bad crashes that didn't break parts on it but all i know is i spent $320 with everthing and spent additional 30 bucks to fix it and now having to spend another 30 bucks to fix everthing that broke after only having the car roughly about a month. I guess I should of waited and bought a Traxxas at least i could of ran over bumps and different ground surfaces and go over rocks without breaking an axle or two so hopefully i'm the only one with these problems i hope anyway if theres any different parts that are stronger or hold up please tell me so i don;t spend anymore money on parts i understand that these trucks are a hobby...but.....not evernyone can afford to spend $100 a month in extra parts just to play and drive these trucks...i consider this to be fun hobby, but to be honest i don't see why i'd need to spend so much money when i've only drove the truck for less then an hour the ENTIRE time i've had it....maintainence and up keep is totally understandable...but i don't want to end up spending 1,000 on a truck that is worth only 200 or less..it starts to feel more like a money pit to start to try to have a hobbie. sorry for all the negative feedback thats all i've had with my 1/10 volcono stx TRUCK
