No he just runs it round the yard or on the dirt parking lot by our house. The only parts that have broken are the dogbones in the front and the rear dogbones that go from the transmission to the rear end. We bought the the two pack of each set. The front only broke once so we have a extra one left but the transmission ones both have broke. It is a shame because the buggy runs great it can keep up to my Revo. I emailed Red Cat Racing and they said they have a one piece one for the wheels to the rearend but nothing different for the transmission to the rearend. I didn't know if someone else makes ones the same length. I will have to do some researching. If nothing else I will have to buy more Red Cat ones and take them to work and put our gold coating them then they should be super strong. Thanks for the reply.
