Default hpi rush problems

hi
i have an hpi nitro rush and it seems to be breaking alot i have had 5 liters of fule through the engine and it needed to be re built . i have had 2 clutches on it (teeth snaped off) a new bearing in the clutch and new cogs in the diff. are these all comon problems with the rush or do i just have bad luck also is there any type of off road truck or buggy you would recomend as a step up from the rush (has to be nitro)i am wanting something that will last a long time and not break much just for my back garden something that will go pritty much anywear off road and at a low price.
thanks for help

Default hpi rush problems

I had a nitro rush. After 2 years it started breaking almost every day. I would be at the lhs 4 times a weekend. I swictched trucks to a Losi xxx-nt. After having this truck I will never buy another stadium truck again. Also have you been thread locking the screws that you are supposed to?

i think u didnt thread lock it becuase Dagass's bro has a rush, we put it through a HELL of a pounding, and nothing brekas on it, might lose a dog bone but thats it. the thing IMO is VERY durable.
