I posted this years ago and thought I'd toss the link to it instead of retyping it. With just a few steps I made my bullet fast XXX-4 bullet proof. Since performing these mods I've only broken one other piece, the chassis. (Mamba 4300kV and a 3 cell LiPo is crazy fast's faster cousin.)
Initially I used the term 'hardened' which is a security term, but the guys at 4WDRC censored me
