I have to say that the Losi car does not wear out as fast as you guys say it does. Being a sponsored driver, I run at least twice a week. I had a kit from November of last year up to September of this year without replacing any parts except for the center front drive shaft, shock o-rings, shock boots, and diff seals/oil. I really would like to know how you guys are wearing the car out so quickly. I guess everyone has their own opinion about when a part is worn out?
