a plastic one im talking about.
Just to give you a little information. When the RC8B came out, they also made a running change to the rear hub. The hub was made stronger and out of a different material. The way to know if you have the updated hubs is to check them for a line. it will go along with the upper hinge pin on the outside. If your hub is smooth, it is the older and those will break easier then they should. The new plastic hub was much stronger, but i wanted the bling factor.
Also, i said earlier. With the Losi the outer bearings go bad fast. The kind heads rear AL hubs change the bearing to an 8x16 bearing, or you can go with the Modded hubs which are the stock hubs machined for a 8x16.
