I only had this problem when the 8T 2.0 first was released. Since then I have been running stock plastic hubs and losi bearings with no problems. I check them periodically for play and replacing them both once or twice a season.
well i would have to "Agree" if not replacing both rear hubs i could see the "Assumption" that things would blow out....as well as for using off brand Bearings...
However that not being my case....
i thought so to by "Using Losi Hardware" should be Better..???
but they were still blowing out....

i thought "Maybe" this could be a "Variable Reason" as well....???
but it was the "Replacement parts" that were Failing......
i am trying to find as much as i can and "Weight" all the posabilities of if more people have this issue or is it just something that happens from time to time...????
i figure this weekend we'll take the trucks out and 2 new ones and see if we can get the new rear 8x16 bearings in the "Plastic" hubs to "Fail"
