If you find out where to get the aluminum up grades for the front end please let me know. I am new to this also and have broke it a couple times myself. The bodys are not much and you don't have to hit hard to break them. I started running mine in the cold and this is not good either.I have found that the radios that comes with these cars are not real good. I have already upgraded my radio to an FM digital makes a big difference.
