Anyone have this trouble with your Nitro RC ?

Question

i was just woundering if there is alot of problems with nito rc cars heres my story so far.

I got my nitro rc on friday i played with it about 25-30 minutes and it stopped moving the differental gear had stripped so badly that the surface where the teeth are stupposed to be was smoth..

I get that fixed and the very next day the steering servo went bad to where it would only turn right and then it would stick there.

I got that fixed and then the next day the littlel rubber thing between the exhaust manafold and the muffler completely exploded i found peices of it here and there in the yard where my car started popping and shut off.

does anyone else have these kinds of problems alot? or do i just suck with nitro rc cars.

Additional Details

Now today the steering assembly isn't tight and it barely turns..

i dont run it like a crazy man i wreck it here and there, like flipping it over ive hit a tree one time but it was the 1st day i got it and it just bent the shock plate.

but it was a ready to run model.

its a exceed rc 1/10 Xtreme 1 speed.

What kind of RC do you have? Was it a kit, or RTR? Is it a brand name or something from Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, etc., etc? If it's a brand name like Traxxas, HPI, Duratrax or the like, contact the manufacturer. These are not common problems in brand name RC's. At least not one right after the other. That is unless you are abusing it terribly. If it was a kit, did you locktite all the screws? Did you follow instructions to the "T"? Lots of questions to be answered.
