  My friend with the Revo actually is new to offroad. Previous to that he owned an electric Duratraxx stadium truck for about 2 weeks.
  
  The Revo actually broke one of the cam links in the suspension and the Stampede lost a suspension link pin (no breakage) 🙂

  Revos are pretty tough – built for bashing – it isn’t too difficult to flip a nitro if you get a bit of air and have some throttle control 🙂

  I have plenty of fun in my Stampede with some 8.4v packs I made up hehe – waiting on the brushless to arrive then the real fun will start.

  You’ll be surprised but the Stampede has never broken a part. The worst thats happened is its eaten a few spur gears, and one of the pins in the suspension arm popped out. The Stampede has a design flaw in which the motor mounting is plastic so the screws dig into it causing all sorts of nasty movement which in turn eats gears. I have fixed that now tho 🙂
  
  That was probably the Revos third outing in the dirt and it was unfortunate that it broke. It was a very simple part – the landing wasn’t wonky or anything just bad luck I guess.
