After 3 weeks of racing this buggy, all I can say is that it's the most fun I've ever had racing 2wheel. I ran kyosho cars the last time I ran 2wheel. This car is every bit the quality and a little easier to drive. I got the car 2nd hand from a guy who had a ruff time with it. When I got it there were a few broken parts. The gearbox was broken in two places (camber mount and one of the tower mounts). In the 3 weeks that I have been running it, I have broken the rear tower three times and the steering rack once. All three times that I broke the tower, it was from the rear wheels catching the end of the table top and flipping and landing on the tower.
I got such a good deal on the car that I sprung for the Lundsford kit. I thought about getting CF towers but I dont want to transfer the stress to the gearbox which takes a bit longer to replace.

The buggy is good! I personally have only broke one rear tower. I've ran the DEX210 since Dec last year. I've thoroughly thrashed it at 1/8 tracks this summer with no issues.
I would spring for the Exotek steering rack and perhaps their rear tower if you want to for some extra peace of mind...I still run plastic. I think running the JConcepts rear wing helps...very thick and durable. It will help soften the blow if you land tire side up.

[QUOTE=Cain;11319895]What issue is the CF Steering rack fixing over say the stock one?=Quote]
The stock one flexes a lot, is very thin, and people say it's a common part that breaks. I don't like to ad too much bling, but when i was building my car and noticed how flimsy the rack looked and felt, i immediately ordered the carbon piece.

Jerry, the rack is working fine. I havent had anymore issues, but I havent hit any humans sitting on the tabletop either 
. i did however have the right rear driveshaft come out of the outdrive during a vicious tumble. Looks like I may need to shim them back a little bit.
