Well, as an RC flight guy, I can say that during normal flight soft cased cells have a pretty easy time of it. But in a crash landing it's a different story and I've personally seen two internally damaged and puffed up and one blow out/fire. But in a light crash they're almost always fine.
In a car, like a TC that's hitting the boards or being t-boned down the straight, or an off road car that's jumping and landing several times a lap or crashing off jumps soft cases can be quite a risk, which is why the BRCA and most clubs don't allow them.
If you personally are just bashing or are happy to take the risk it's up to you.
HTH,
Chris.
