Its been an excellent buggy will go everywhere I want it to stock but my only major buggy breakdown so far my rear wheels locked up. Upon disassembly I discoverd that the rear bearings inner and outer were toast and the cause of failure was the rear inner seal as it doesn't fit over the shaft to keep out debris. You may be able to catch it early and replace the inner seal only if you have no debris inside the housing but don't wait because the outer race is near impossible to remove if the bearing falls apart as mine did, (I had to cut and grind-risky to damage the housing surfaces).
Funny that I was getting a kind a brake squeel that went away when I went through a puddle and the rear got wet.

So if you own, operate, or planning to buy a Titan remember to pay mind to this seal issue if your going to ride in any mudd, water, dirt.

Here is my write up on the rear IRS bearing repair.
