Yea I agree Im over in UK and I have run hypers 8.5 and 9 and since few months moved to Xray 809Spec.. and the difference in parts quality is scary!.. Spares for the hyper are cheaper.. but I was replacing them reasonably regularly.. I have had my 808 few months and not 1 thing broken yet. And, Parts are slighly harder to source.. but generally you wont need many spares.. but yea.. I prefer to have the parts quality that the Xray's and moogen kinda have.. than a losi.. hearing how sloppy they can become fast.. but thats me.. and prefer to have something less common.. but I agree with the above...
