I am going to run Kyosho hub carriers for sure.... tons stronger. (Just the plastic ones.)

I have to say I'm pretty happy about the lack of damage to our Revo last night...it's usually good for a broken pushrod or two, but last night nothing. The front skid and rear wing did take their fair share of abuse though....ouch.

I mean, c'mon, I get on the track once every 10 months, why can't I drive better?

Oh okay, so all you need to do is go over the truck and, one-by-one, remove each piece and replace it with a Kyosho piece, until you have a durable kyosho truck. Good idea.

You're never to old to be immature

Oh and Rob..... thanks for confirming what I have been saying. LoL I think HotBodies was going for a very hard part that wouldn't have a lot of play for racing. On the other hand it is VERY brittle. The Kyosho ones have some give to them but I had a decent crash that I was ready to walk off of the drivers stand to fix a carrier for..... and it didn't break. They are TONS stronger. I was watching Rob crash and flip his truggy wishing that the LSP was that tough. LoL

I ask myself the exact same question each time I go.

Hahahahaha!!! Shut up. The only thing that will be Kyosho is likely the hub carriers. Everything else is fine.

You answered your own question with the first word!!!

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
