In the 2yrs we've had the Typhoon I haven't delt with any frame issues and my son mainly MX's his bike. The main problem to look out for is the crank snapping on the stock motor. Even with that, you can slap one of those Chinese manual's in for around $400-$500 dollars and you're good.

Thanks for the Info! About the crank how soon should I expect to see something like that If It ever happens?

It varies from what I've been reading. Ours lasted a year and a half before it let go. Others only a couple of months. There are dealers that sell drop in motors for these bikes that are far better than the stock Xtreme motors. Try tboltusa.com.
