i just have to say one thing, parts dont break on their own, i havent broken a suspension part yet, its been 2 years, actually i am lying, i broke a rear c hub on my lightning when i hit the wall at my local track doing about 30mph. I havent stripped a spur gear since i upgraded to a steel clutch bell, now they come stock with the steel clutchbell. If you hit a curb, pile of dirt or cartwheel you will most likely break something, same goes with spur gears, i love the "i stripped a gear and i dont know why?" the you ask, did you check the gear mesh and people are like "whats that" or my engine fried in 1 tank of fuel any your like, did you oil the filter and there like "no, i didnt know". I have found that 9 out of 10 complaints are user error, most people are new to the hobby and dont bother reading a thing, you know how many people email and pm me saying their car doesnt start but they dont even put the glow plug igniter on the plug and dont even know they are supposed to have an igniter.
