Apparently Tekno dosent mind selling us a 30$ body every 4 runs.

I own 2 HPI Baja 5T 1/5th scale trucks and have never had to replace them after a couple years bashing on them. Just so you know they weigh close to 30 pounds.
Ask me if me a thicker pull would last longer. I will have to tell you how stupid you are if you think a thicker one would not last longer.
