Just because somebody doesn't own the truck doesn't meen they don't have experience with it. I personally work at a hobby shop so I have a lot of experience with each truck. You wouldn't beleive how many people come in with Jato problems. Broken top plates, broken servo cases, snapped shock towers, broken arms. It happens. Most STs are built the same way. How much more durable can one be compared to the other? It all depends on the way people drive.
