How durable is this? I will not go off of jumps and stuff. Also how available are the spare parts? Where can I get the spare parts?

Pretty durable just dont go smashing into things and parts are avaliable everywhere amazin ebay etc some people on youtube have hit trees etc pretty hard at full speed no damage and others have bad luck and break but the worst that can happen is just things like rod wnds breaking on the suspension etc

Durability is 9/10. It will take a lot of abuse within reason. Part availability is good, any hobby shop or Amazon will generally have what you need or can get it.It's a good idea to remember that the longevity and durability of an RC vehicle is directly related to how much time you put in to maintaining it, cleaning it, changing bearings etc.

extreamly durable i had no problems with mine after a year of straight use and i climb go mudding snow ect. just go to traxxas.com then go to support, go to support by product then find your vehicle and tap on it, scroll to the bottom of the page and click exploded views, choose the part of the truck you are looking for then i would write the prt number and order it from amazon because generally amazon ships faster for less

If you live in bront Tx you can go to Dell at RC unplugged. and he always gets the parts right and trys to save you some money by upgrading your traxxes to the best it can be.

My wife's is supper tuff. It climbs like no tomorrow, I drove it up a mountain over 400 yards that for a person was all but hands and knees, went just a little to much side hill and it rolled and flipped over rocks and brush and still is ticking. Don't go ramming full blast into stuff and you should be ok.Got parts on line where ever. Love ours it's a supper truck.

I wanted some replacement parts to have on hand. I e-mailed the company and they said that they do not have replacement parts. they only have the boats. I don't think they make them there, I think they are just a distributer. If you look on the box, you might fin contact info for the company who actually makes it. You might try a hobby shop that sells rc boats.

I have been very happy with the quality, it has survived many jumps, flips, and collisions. However I did manage to break a part of the front suspension when I accidently drove it full speed into a curb but I think it would be unreasonable to expect it to survive something like that. Regardless the replacement part was cheap and easily installed. Overall I'm really happy with it.

It is pretty sturdy. I can ride it, at 120lbs. My husband has taken it for a few runs as well, at 170lbs. Not sure how long that will last, but it sure is fun!

Mostly. But first, know that I have flown it primarily over tiles, so crashes onto carpet should not be as hard on this toy. I found this helicopter's runners is the only part that has not held up through numerous bangs. The propellors have hit the wall many a time and held up, and plus, extras are even supplied in the package. So to answer your question, yes, this helicopter is durable, but I would not advise, if this is your first such toy, not to learn over tiles as crashes are inevitable.

Our kids are practicing gymnastics on it and love it. I don't think a trampoline is ever completely safe, but this is as close as I feel you can get to a high performance trampoline that is well built and useable for more advanced practice, including for adults.

Yes! I and my husband (who weighs over 200 lbs) use these in obstacle courses with our son and his friends. We've stood, jumped, and leaped on them with no damage whatsoever. They're virtually indestructible, from what I've seen of them. Very well engineered, with gripper rubber edges around the bottom, and textured surface (to minimize slippage) on the tops.

I purchased one for my 9 year old son last year. Initially he complained it was too stiff, but I encouraged him to stick with it. He quickly figured out he needed to hop and not just bounce. Within minutes he was counting his jumps to keep extending his prior personal record. After a brief warm up, he was crazy about it and he still enjoys it very much. We have found it to be very durable.

It's being sold at Dick's Sporting Goods also. I doubt they would be selling a product from a bankrupt company with no warranty. Excellent product btw. As stated, very stable.

We keep ours in a gigantic Rubbermaid bin and I just drag it out of the garage and to where ever the kids are jumping. The bouncy house is heavy but manageable. It has never stopped me from bringing it out. We have had this bouncy house for 5 years and it is still going strong. My kids love it. We got it when my son was 1 and he is now 6 and I think we are ready to move to a trampoline but will keep this around for little visitors.

It's pretty sturdy. You'd actually have to be trying to break it in order for it to break easily. Like any other controller, make sure you don't throw it around. It can survive some accidental falls.

Its pretty sturdy. My husband and his friends jump on ours and it still holds up great.

I've had it for about 1/2 year and it's still comfy and working fine. I don't see this chair breaking down anytime soon. No wear and tears. I use it in my home and sit in it for hours everyday. I can spin around fast still! If you're into that kind of stuff...

JC, I did not get the handle/stabilizer bar. I had no prior experience and I was able to do all the moves on the trampoline without any difficulty so I cannot personally see the value in a handle/stabilizer bar. I am fairly athletic with good (maybe excellent) balance. If a person was not as sure of balance then maybe a stabilizer bar would be good to start with.

It is a very delicate model and it will break if labded hard.but it is also relitivly easy to repair with foam safe ca glue. I recomend flying over shin high grass that way your firs few landings will be less likly to break the model.

Yes you can buy new ones or fly with out just have to hunt to see where it's attached, may give you a min or two flight time because it's less weight?, but I wouldn't trade it for the rotor/prop protection.

These are awesome toys.. i have 4 of various designs including the Marine version of this one. Replacing the copter with a new one is going to be cheaper and less of a headache ultimately unless you are a RC enthusiast and with lots of spare parts, spare time and are handy with soldering very small wires. But the best thing i can say is disassemble the thing -examining every wire.. a have fun tying to fix it.. and if it still doesn't work then make a list of the best ways to destroy the toy... (such as giving it to a 6 year old boy) film an entertaining youtube video of it's death.. and retire off the proceeds of all the youtube sales. Best of luck!
