Rob is that your original 8? Looks more like a prokit to me.

i told you....its better than the pro kit now. with all the titanium and aluminum...its almost bullit proof.

i even put aluminum hubs and hub carriers up front

only problem I had with not having something plastic in the chub system, is if you hit something hard enough, I sheared a toe block on my LSP. but on second though it has aluminum A-arms. nm, lol

you know what....

to be honest, i do have one issue with the aluminum hubs and carriers. on one side the machining wasnt done to well and it kinda binds. no big deal....easy fix, but still an issue. i did expect better craftmanship, but you dont always get that with losi

the 8ight is basically bulletproff already. I had it for about 4 gallons and only broke a few rod ends.

Rob is far harder on the car than normal racing. Double backflips, pounding into the ground from 30ft jumps, etc...

Basically he jumped a house or two every sunday, except it was without the house.

Course I did the same to my Jammin buggy, and it has held up amazingly well. Its always been bullet proof.
