I didn't read all the posts of what other people said, but here is my opinion. 1/8 buggies are very strong. So far the only thing that I broke was a bent front shock tower and a front arm. This was only because my switch failed and I ran almost WOT into the wall on the back straight at LHR. They can take a lot of abuse and as long as your trying to stay on the wheels, I don't think they will break.
