Default Which parts most likely to break and worn first?

Hi, i would like to know what parts on these Himoto tend to break/wear easier.

I ran the truck up a ramp one day, it was flying and then hit a stair in the air on ONE wheel, and repeated it a few times and did break the steering arm on that side (it was minus 30something we were shooting the video) xD


Would like to know what other parts are easy to break in bashing and what wears fast cos i want to order some of them at once so i don't need to pay for shipping again and again...

Thanks.

KK, i'll do that, i'll wait for the contest to end first. if i win i'll try to get everything together.

What about the gears and stuff? any particular gear wear faster than others?

Spur gears are the way to go too, cant hurt to have a couple on hand.

spur is the big plastic gear, pinion is the metal one on the motor.

Lol.....
First......Find a big OPEN space,,,,,and try NOT to Slam into buildings....[:@]
Second...If you are gonna "Go Big" then you should get a Few Axles, because you will Bend a Few every now and again when you Land Badly.....
Third....Dogbones/cvd shafts for when you land VERY BIG/Badly and bend THOSE....
