I just didn't know if there was anything that constantly failed under normal racing on Losi's. I don't care about bling. I just don't want minor parts to fail and cause a DNF. I have a xray 808 for my buggy and it is bullet proof with all plastic for the most part. No bling, but the car never breaks. I was hopign the losi would be just as well made. I have alum servo horn, but was considering picking up the alum front and rear suspension holders. After reading the thread, I ordered shock ends when I bought the truck.
The suspension holders don't fail or anything. they actually work very well, but it is nice to have the adjustability. I run the losi adjustable ones on mine. And you are also going to want the aluminum servo saver top. The aluminum top plate is not needed but it is a nice upgrade. I run the KHZ one on mine. I think the KHZ is nicer than the losi one because it has the little spacer plate( little plastic plate that goes under the front of the top plate) built in so you don't have to worry about the little piece of plastic. The plastic steering components(spindles and carriers) seem to hold up pretty well. And with the new 2.0 carriers you have 2 camber link options, so if you put the alu, ones on you would lose that option. The alu. spindles are nice though. And if losipartshouse.com gets any more in for $15, that might be something to jump on as they are usually $40+. Overall the truck is really tough.
