Well, I have a factory team b3 and I am really dissapointed with it. Every signle time I use it, it breaks! :mad: Im not kidding. I not even driving hard. I am looking at some electric monster trucks, but also wonder if the MF2 would be alot better than my b3. Thanks alot! :D

It depends on how you are breaking it. Are you running it into a curb at full speed? Are you jumping it off your house? Please Be more specific.

Well I am just running on the street. I am just about not doing any jumping. The things that are breaking are the transmission, cvc's, suspenpension arm and alot of other stuff.

u shouldnt be having that many problems with the b3 unless everything isnt tightened up and loctited or spacing problems. otherwise go to you lhs and see what they think

an arm doesn't just break on its own ;) There is no way you should be having that many problems. The b3 is a good car, and it should be more durable than that. Take it apart, clean everything and lube it up, then put it together correctly and make sure everything is tightened well. Look into some more durable parts and whatnot for A-arms and stuff.

There's your problem. Curbs, and that little 1" concrete thing coming up into driveways, right? The B3 needs dirt.

If you're ripping up CVD's on flat surfaces, loosen the slipper clutch a little, and check that you don't have the ride height set too high. This will help tranny parts too, but tighten the diff bolt often, if it gets loose it will melt the diff gear.

Thanks alot. And when I broke an a arm I was going about 2mph and tapped a curb. What would be a good onroad/offroad car?

Well . . . any onroad car would suffer the same fate if it "taps" a curb. :D

My choice would be the Tc3.

What the heck is a tap to you, 15 mph?

2mph, and forget about the a arm ok. I already have a touring car and prefer offroads alot more. I want to buy an e-maxx, but there is an over lurking shadow of a electic revo. I am also looking at the twin force and the stampede.
