Ours appears to have held up really well in the first regional with light re-reinforcements such as L plates connecting the inner/outer rails similar to am-2794 and some diagonal supports in the inner 4 corners. We have a 6 cim 2 speed installed and played a lot of defense, no major issues seen so far. Our biggest struggle with kit bot has been mounting bumpers. I'd keep some spare parts around just in case though.
