I have a Magic Wheel, and let me tell you- it's not all that durable, I've had two battery boxes cracked, and radio box cracked, several telescopic axles, and the clutch break on the first break-in tank. And these are from typical backyard bashing and occasional club track racing. Also the servos are extremely slow and weak, fuel tank leaks (probably because of primer). Been doing the same with a Terra Crusher and not one thing broke. I'm currently converting this MW completely to a T-Maxx with all the Traxxas parts I can find and fit. Do yourself a favor and buy a real T-Maxx. All you need to convert to a T-Maxx is: chassis, chassis braces, fuel tank, radio & battery boxes, transmission drive shafts, rest should fit fine unless you buy aftermarket bumpers then you'd need T-Maxx bumper mounts as well since they're slightly different sizes. BTW, it's a 1/10 and actually shorter/smaller than even the original T-Maxx, Smartech has alot to learn about these things too.

I also dropped in an XTM .18 with a T-Maxx engine mount (MW engine mount sits too far back) with T-Maxx flywheel and clutchbell. If you already have a MW, I suggest getting the parts to conver tto T-Maxx then you'd be able to buy Traxxas parts to replace, they're more durable and cheaper. I bought a T-Maxx battery box for $7 Canadian and the guy at Excelhobbies want $15 US dollars for a Magic Wheel battery box that cracked twice on me.

On a side note, DO NOT DO BUSINESS with technicala from ebay (salesman for Magic Wheel at excelhobbies), he is a problem to deal with sometimes. The package came inadquetly packaged, it had a cracked body and rear wheel axles were bent, I emailed him and he got all pissed off.
