No, they might not withstand being thrown to the floor but they're pretty darn though. They beat LL by having a large motor with dual flywheels and all wheel drive. Of course, if you think your engines will keep getting thrown to the floor, you might want to stick with LL for a while. <br />LLs are $30 at hobbylinc.com and Athearn BB can be found for $20-$35 at many hobby shops. BB will easily outlast LL. My LL GP38 died after 7 years and it wasn't ran much durning that time but my BB GP38-2 is 12 years old and going strong.
