I don't know if you are sarcastic or not, but for ANY vehicle, that is a good run with such low parts breakage. I went 3 months driving my Stadium Truck (AD2) without breaking anything, which is WAY harder to do. Finally broke another rear A arm because I was driving stupidly, for some reason trying to hang with the truggies that were practicing that day...
So far, Ive only had the 8 for about 2 months, I broke a clutch bell, bent a chassis and I think that is it. I have blown 2 servos, 1 was a freak (in steering) and the other because my carb locked up. I bent the chassis because after the race, the next door BMX track operator let us use his track, which had a huge 40ft jump, and I cleared it by about 20'
I have no clue why the CB had a tooth cleanly pulled out, the rest were fine!
