truthfully. not much. I have beaten mine up and all I have managed to break are the carbon fiber shock towers (front and rear)... if you dont have those, then you probably can't find any weak spots on this car. keep up the good, regular maintenance and it will take care of you.

Front arms

I dont have any rear outer pins but are they really an issue??

I have bent one in the 8 months of running the car, i run the ebuggy though , its heavier than the nitro car. It didnt cause any binding though .

i just started to run e buggy but been running nitro for 18 months now. All i have broken or bent so far are front shock tower alum and broke CF. Front A arms and hinge pins and a few dog bones but all in racing.

I was wondering why I can only buy just the parts and not a whole engine.

I go through hat bushings for the ackerman bar like candy (I will be getting an answer-rc one for the 8ight & making it fit). Till I learned to jump it I went through front bumpers almost as fast. I just ordered my 1st rear skid (de) after a year of racing. I've had 2 bearing start to wear out (they got stiff but I caught them before they shredded) & replaced all of them with avid ($21 iirc for a full set). The only arm I messed up, my son did trying a back flip off a ramp that was almost flat & it took the inner hinge pin with it. The rear arms arm starting to get loose so I will replace them soon. Shock o-rings are always a good thing to have, but these last longer than others I have used. Same applies to dif gaskets & o-rings. I use losi plastic spur gears & because they are plastic I have stripped 2 (both due to other problems). I have recently replaced my 1st outdrives (rear) & cvd, pins only. The drive pins on center cvd shafts have worn MUCH quicker than the actual cvd so I replaced the pins with a bicycle chain breaker. Various screws are always handy to have around of course (shock tops, chassis bottom, & stearing top plate are the only screws I've had any problems out of).

Just looking through it, that looks like a lot. Considering that is everything from a year of racings (my primary track is indoors so it is a full year not just a season) I think that is pretty darn good.

I was reading that losi came out a Ackerman with a 4x8mm bearing on the losi 3.0. I think it may be a straight fit without being altered.
