I love them. I used to have 2 x FK05's and they were tough cars. I only ever broke anything when the tracks were real ball breakers and I had some severe crashes I must say. Even then, compared to other cars at the same track's damage was always negligible. I have not broken a part on my 008 in the 6 months i've had it and at my track currently, about 10 guys race Xrays. We are all reasonably fast and if we ever break something 9 times out of 10 someone will have a spare as no local hobby shop carriers spares for Xray.
