Horizon Hobby usually runs this type of special twice a year. The first special was including the aluminum parts for the front-end. However, many people may have been unaware as the dealers and/or hobby shops may have kept those parts. They were free with the puchase on the wholesale side so dealers should have passed down the deal.
We are currently selling the 8 roller for $399.

by changing the inserts, you change the Kick-Up Angle.

Stop hitting things....or stop lawn darting the car......those are really the only 2 thing's that can bend a hingepin.

I'm assuming the fronts only...
Ya they bend pretty easy. When I was using the King Heads mount with the set screws I bent them more. The stock Losi mounts do the same thing because they are held too tight. The only thing I found to help is to use the adjustable holders that use the plastic inserts. You can get tool steel and make your own pins, but you will start stressing the arms. I have just settled on replacing the pins because they are easier than mounts or arms and a lot cheaper.

Imo the losi pins and M2C pins are Extremely Durable, Ive had some bend in the past but there's normally a justified reason.
