I will start by saying, this truck is nowhere near original. It started as a V1 Arrma Granite mega, and has since, using a pile of parts from Jenny's RC, turned into a pseudo short course truggy using parts from 4 different 3S vehicles (Senton, Granite, Big Rock, Typhon). I use this truck as my stress reliever, so it gets abused quite often, and, even as hard as i am on it, i have had very little breakage in the last 3 years. So far, i have burnt up the servo, broke the front control arms and a couple of front links twice, the rear control arms once, and one hub, had the rear diff get locked up when a bearing froze and melted to the diff, the wheelie bar spring, and the front bumper spring a few times, and, for a truck that now has an Arrma BLX100 and 3650 3900KV BL motor, it holds up really well to my sometimes constant punishment. I have ran more than 100 packs through it since i first bought it. I run it in nearly every condition you can think of, from sand, to mud, to asphalt and gravel, have buried it underwater, in snow and ice, and it still runs the original V1 mega diffs, although i did have to change the rear diff casing.
