I would think it would be more of an issue depending on the surface and/or Class you run.

- Chassis upgrade. So the eb410 chassis will where and may have issues where the front cracks. Would not recommend high speed into a pole.
- 3.5mm pins vs the old 3mm. eb410, you will eventually bend the hinge pins, depending on what you hit. 3.5 is arms, pins and pills.
- Stronger ABCD blocks, again depends on how hard you hit.
- Better wing mount, same issue, it is stronger
- Shock spacers are better, and a lot of people did upgrade to the MIP before the .2 came out.
- Hubs/Spindles, I would think more for high bite where you run lower.
- Front and Rear brace, helps the bulkheads to be stronger.

These are the main items, I believe. I would say run what you have and have fun. As you get more into it, I would consider a new eb410.2. Especially if you are ruff on it.
