What breaks the most?
This topic is really aimed at offroad vehicles. I would like your opinions as to which parts need to be replaced most often on your trucks and buggies.
For example on my HPI Nitro MT, it would be shock towers and spur gears. What parts are you guys always breaking? Thanks!!!

My Rush doesn't break. It is bullet proof!!! (JK) Except for the body, It has been pretty tough. Dagass knows. I would say some shock bodies, various screws, Front and rear Arm sets, Dogbones(easily lost if ball-cup joint releases it's grip) and Turnbuckles (weak part).

On my Stampede the only thing I've busted so far is one of the shocks. It came apart and all the oil leaked out, all over the engine (back shock). Nice big cloud of white smoke heh
On my Razor On-Road the front bumper, I keep running that thing into the curb.

On my TMaxx - the stock A-Arms and bulk heads and bumper mounts. My wife runs into a lot of things. I have a video on my web site when she hit a flag pole and you here it do a high pich ping noise. The bulk heads - a-arms and bumper mounts broke. We still drove it for another 2 tanks before fixing it. It did not steer right after though. But a lot of fun. Now I have RPM A-Arms on it.

Well, you do have a point however I'm not asking because I keep breaking things. I'm more or less looking to find out what parts break the most on peoples kits.
Just doing some good ol' fashion research.

Mostly it's just curiosity. I'm always kicking around ideas and you never know what you might come up with unless you ask a couple questions.

Dan1220,
Where's the hot spots to Race in Ohio? I have some relatives out in your neck of the woods and I'd like to check out some of the local tracks next time I'm out there.
