apparently you need at least 40wt oil in the shocks and a small shock stopper along with rubber out-drive covers to stop breaking the dogbones, dirt can get in the outdrive limiting how far the bone can go which can also lead to bending.

All the other upgrade aluminum parts really are a WASTE and also add a fair bit more weight.

Such a shame that the stock parts and shock oil can lead to breaking front arms and dogbones
I mean landing on the back side of a jump should not bend it lol least ofna has stronger arms now
These issues are kind of a downer on what seems like an amazing performing buggy. Looking at the RC8Be, while less balanced, I don't know of any upgrades needed for durability.
Are the latest kits coming with the updated parts (front and rear arms, rear shock tower)?
