Default RE: HOW DURABLE IS THE SAVAGE...REALLY

I bash it fairly hard... but not crazy hard. I have a kicker ramp that I do back flips off... lots of fun! I've run one of the front wheels off trees lots... no broken parts.

Here is my broken parts list... and I've had my Savage X RTR since Sept 06...

- Rear bumper x 1 - bad landing on the back end
- Spur Gear x 2 (have the steel one now)
- Front pinion x 2
- Front pinion bearing x 1
- Rear pinion x 1
- Rear pinion bearing x 1
- Either front or rear diff x 6+ (have 2 full sets of diffs, Nova RC's and X-SS)
- Ripped the antenna off while sliding upside down on concrete stairs
- Bent 1 shock while barrel rolling down same concrete stairs as above
- almost totally wrecked the original body... but it still works

Can't think of much more. Bascially you can see the weak spot... the diffs... and pinions also a bit. They really are tough trucks.
