Cups, dogbones and CVDs are prone to failure if you throw more hp into it. They hold up well with the stock power plant.

Clutch bells hold up fine.

Wheel bearings and the gear plate are prone to failure right out of the box.

Is there a solution...ie parts being made to handle better power?

Hardened ones from redcat any good?

That belt system..handles the gear plate..yes...

Can you explain the difference between the open and closed gear plate for the belt system?

All the parts made by 7075 RC to the left are awesome.

FLM might be making dogbones for the X series. Prototypes have been made.

-Yes you can run the belt drive or the gears on the 7075 RC gear plates.

-Just preference. The open version was made mostly for the cool factor. It's a bit lighter but not that much.

The biggest problem with the center dogbones is breakage due to chassis flex. The 7075 RC chassis was designed to conquer the problem.

It really depends a lot on a persons driving style. I run a 7.5hp OBR in my XB and have not broken anything. I don't race it though. Just bashing at the park.

The lightened gear plate looks better. Plus it helps keep the clutch/clutch bell cooler due to the extra air circulation. The full gear plate was intended to help protect the gears/belt drive from dirt.
