Once every year. I generally replace it in March so i can get a couple of runs on it before Neo-Buggy Race and BRCA nats. Through out the year, after every race i clean it, replacing seals and anything that has worn a lot (the chassis possibly and anything with a lot of slop). Come October time i generally replace all the turnbuckle end and balls and plastics.

I finally retired my losi 8ight 1.0 after buying it june 2007. I replaced the arms once, upgraded the diff cases to the hd ones, and several new bearing sets, and thats about it. A complete tear down with cleaning and new oils and lubing the driveshafts after every weekend of racing will extend the life of the car.

Like someone said earlier it depends on the car. I use to own an RC8B which was great, but wore quickly. So I would have to buy parts when the car got too sloppy. I now have an XRAY and knock on wood, this thing is much more wear resistant. So far in the time I have practiced with it and raced with it, I would have replaced the worn parts once.

I've really noticed alot of slop on several makes of cars but have never really noticed it really effecting the handling of the car. I do know that the Hot Bodies are built kind loose and as far as plastic wear, you gotta watch the sagging arms.
Maybe in off-road we can't notice the slop as much as the on-road guys.

I buy new cars pretty much every year. It is usually cheaper than replacing everything that needs to be replaced. Plus I like new stuff!

Some cars wear out fast, and some last for a long time. In my experience the Mugen and Xray cars last for a long time.

I know nothing about the X-Ray but the Mugen can last forever. To me, the Mugen has always been a funny car to drive with weird steering, thus the reason for me not to stick with it but the durability is one of the best.
