TL;DR - how much less would I break a MT410 vs. an Outcast, all else being equal?
For my first RC car, I got an Arrma Outcast 6s - was interested in an MT410 but sticker shock and not being sure about building it myself out of the gate sent me to the Arrma.
I have found that about 2/3 of my sessions end with some part failure that puts the truck out of commission, plus there are nagging issues that I know will need attention for example a bent shock tower. Mostly minor thus far, (see my mini-chronicle on the Arrma forum here) and I don't mind doing the wrenching, but waiting for parts is a drag for me, and my wrenching:running ratio is quite a bit higher than my ideal.
I'm a ham-handed and decidedly un-subtle novice driver, blessed with ample rough terrain, love to mach around and smash over and through things, and am learning to jump the hard way (for the car anyhow). I'm not all that interested in backing off the aggressiveness of driving, although I do hope to reduce the operator error somewhat over time. So, I get that I'll do damage, and take responsibility for it. But it seems there are so many known weak points on this car (how many shock ends have I busted?!) and it's getting tiring.
The question is: if I built at MT410 with bomber parts, how much less would you all (admittedly biased group) guess I'd be out of commission? Maybe some of you with Outcast vs. MT410 experience might weigh in?
I'm assuming based on what I see online that the MT410 is actually a tank - I do see that there are known issues even with this rig as top of the line as it may be.
