All you D8 bashers must not have owned or built a D8. The D8 is a great car and the build was so much better than the MP9. I have owned and built every new car out there except for the MBX6. Quality of parts on the D8 is no worst than any other car on the market, all cars will break (well except the Xray). All have their weaknesses. D8 has issues with their outdrives, MP9 has issues with their bushing inserts, Losi 2.0 has issues with their shock towers, ZO1B had issues with shock bushings, 808 had issues with their speed bearings wearing out too fast, RC8 had issues with front end breaks, on and on.
Point is the D8 will run with any other car on the track regardless of price and it is one of the easiest cars to drive.
BTW, before you think I'm an MP9 hater, I currently run an MP9 and love it.
