Bought one last week. Ran it 4 times and it's broke already. I know they need maintenance but surely they shouldn't break that easy.

Lads I've seen with them are constantly stripping them down and messing around with them.

What went wrong?

had a couple of nitros few years back, great fun but do need constantly maintained and messed around with. a good hobby if you have the time. rc 6 channel helicoptors (not the toy ones) are a different kettle of fish mind, almost painfull to fly and expensive to fix when you inevitibly crash it.
 
Used to race them when I was a kid.

Got a couple of nitro helis but not flown them for ages now.

If you think cars need a lot of maintaining / tinkering the helis are huge step up.
 
Me and my mates all got them but it got to the point that every time we took them out 2 out of the 4 would break. We all flogged them in eBay about 6 month later.

It was a brushed ftx bugsta. Think I'm going to go brushless and go for better build quality.

yeah I would.Looks about the same stamp as an Ansmann that. Personally i`d spend a bit more and go for a RC10B4 by team associated or or a Tamiya, even just for park bashing. Better quality and when things do go tits up, which they will,parts are easy enough and cheap enough to replace
