I'm using a 13tooth robinson in my 8ight. I havn't had a problem yet.

How many is all over? Not trying to be smart about it, I just want to know if I should change before it blows up. Also, do you mean blowing up in a bunch of peices?

From what I have and heard the experience is that the RR C/B are harder.
One of my racing buddies bought that and the matching Spur and blew through those just as quick as the stock ones.
It came down to the chassis flex and getting the KHZ rear brace fixed the blowing C/B problem. He runs a tighter mesh than I did and that is a small part of it as well.
I myself have only blown one since I got the KHZ brace---things are lasting much longer now. I have stuck with the stock ones.
