Psshh the Storm RTR is plenty tough for the typical basher. And to make it really bullet proof you can buy the Pro towers or spend 25 bucks on a set of Dynamite towers. Thats all I needed to keep my buggy from breaking and I go pretty dang big!!!

Lol. I havent broken anything except the fuel tank and I bent the front tower through several bad landings. I broke the fuel tank on a Motox jump. I wish I could afford to mod mine up like that.
P.S. How to those Proline Knuckles hold up on all surfaces and whats the traction like?

For just plain brute toughness, it's hard to beat a C hub style front suspension. I don't really keep up with what's available from OFNA, but if they offer a C hub style car, it will be tougher by design than either a pivot ball or kingpin style. That's why the MP 7.5 has stuck with the C hub style for so long, it's harder to break than any other 8th suspension design.

Thanks fhm thats exactly what I was thinkin.....Someone stated that the pbs was stronger than the other two but that made no sense to me, as I see all the Kyoshos have the C-Hubs.
