School me on sand cars lol

Nah. I had a NA Honda with a 2d. The 2d lasted a decade between rebuilds and I am on the turning brake just about every turn…
That being said, I spent a lot on money on transmissions in the SCORE series
because "Some" team drivers did not know how to drive. Yanking that turning brake never ends well. Keep in mind, many are 1000 klicks or so. Glamis, yank it.
 
I have had 4 buggy's, I use the turning brake every ride. I have never broken a gear or spider gears in any tranny. We are talking over 500 days (roughly 15,000 miles) of duning.
 
Thing with the cars you need to be able to work on them yourself for most things or have the money to pay someone to fix it and that ain’t cheap.

Shocks are actually simple to rebuild. Cv service takes time and messy but not hard either. Trans and engine will need to be pulled for service of trans etc. then the mentioned bearings bushings too.
