Reguar club race on Sunday. No breakage. Normally the only time I don't finish a race is down to crappy Rx packs, not tightening screws down enough or just being to lazy to actually maintain and look after my car so that it can break at exactly the wrong moment, lol.

Two weekends ago at an RC Pro race:
For my buggy One lipo battery shorted out/or quit/or died. It just plain didn't work. Oh and one lower shock spring retainer missing.
For my truggy my voltage regulator wiring broke. The regulator has been in place for two years and never moved so the constant jumping and bumps just took a toll on it.

Nothing!! I too have a Xray 808 and after having a D8 it is just pure joy. I have not replaced anything other then bearings,clutches/spring, fluids (shocks/diffs) and fuel. Oh I did replace a front suspention arm due to it getting beat up but this was just for my own piece of mind, didn't break. I think that I have about 3-4 gallons on it now and I bought it used.
I am not going to bash any other car as I have not owned anything other then the D8, but the 808 has been great and I am faster with it to boot!

I was actually just working on the tune of the engine running up and down my street and the connection of the receiver battery came lose...buggy went wide open, no stearing and hit head on into the front tire of my car. 
just bent the front part of the chassis up about 10 degrees and I was able to straighten in out. As for the other parts when I bought the buggy used it had a ton of extra parts so I'm good and it seems to be running again....untill next time...that is part of the fun of this sport.

Forget what all broke...Glad you got things striaghtened out. I may do the same to have 1 backup chassis left

air8 ,I was just wondering cuz integra keeps saying that the X-RAY is an exact copy of the losi(leads me to believe he's never seen a 808) & now he says he has friends at his track that use the parts interchangably. So now since he's seen the 808 with losi parts installed he can tell me exactly what parts he saw used on the 808 & I will go check by borrowing parts from my losi friends & install them on my 808,that way when he says their exact copys I can keep my big mouth shut & say yep or say he needs to actually look at an X-RAY in person & not from a front view photo in a magazine.
