How are we feeling about DBXL parts availability?

Luckily the aftermarket has aluminum replacements for all the parts that break. So not too concerned at this point.
 
I am concerned about a few parts.
The bumper, wing mount, roll cage, and front axle carriers.
 
Im in the process of beefing mine up with alloy parts as i seem to keep breaking stuff or stripping the plastic parts, it is getting tough to find driveline parts though

Most of the chassis parts are alloy now except the a arms which are staying plastic. I should change the outer diff housings to alloy as i already cracked one and i don't think they hold the tolerance for the ring/pinon very well.
 
I did have a dbxl-e 2.0. Did a complete Vitavon rc driveline, diff cups ,gears ,housing. Not cheap but looked at as a lifetime investment. Kept eating diff cups.Vitavon uses squares to hold spider gears in place unlike stock that has none and shafts ride in plastic housing. That was the weakness leading to destruction of pinion etc. Never had issues after installing Vitavon. Sold it because of battery's.........should have gotten a gas one. Really liked it for looks and performance.
