Deadite, I'm not particularly hard on my cars, just had a bit of bad luck lately. The monster truck has a bad clutch in the 2-speed tranny and it doesn't want to come apart without busting. The pull starter is also broken. The on-road car has another intake leak and a fried bearing on the belt tensioner. These are just the kinds of things that happen to nitro cars. Great fun when they run, but high maintenance. The Mini Z is nearly new and the ESC is erratic as well as erratic steering. It's going back to Tower Hobbies tomorrow for a replacement. My two Motor Works cars from Wally World just didn't hold up long. The first one refused to run after about 5 charges. The 2nd one lost its steering after a few hours of use. That's when I discovered ZipZaps, so I returned the Motor Works car and have been having lots of fun Zippin'.
