they look similar. it was just a material change iirc. either way if you break one hot bodies has awesome customer service and they will replace them at no charge to you.

the dedicated thread for the D8 is here: http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-of...ies-buggy.html

lots of good information there!

CVDs are pretty much guaranteed. Rear shock tower is a hit or miss. You could be unlucky like me and even the replacement rear shock tower was the old version. I'd just go with Ace's towers.
