Mad Force Truck

Thinking of buying one of these but I hear there is a problem with the drive shafts falling out. Any one know any thing about this?

Supposedly, the plastic suspension components get too flexible over
time, causing the "dog bone" driveshafts to pop out. Fortunately, the
dog bones are sealed entirely in a plastic tube, so you're not likely
to lose them.

The inaugral issue of RC Driver has a Mad Force hop-up article; it
includes a brace designed to stiffen the plastic suspension and
prevent over-flexing.
