Wow I can't beleive I'm hearing all this smack on the losi :0 9 gallons in and iv been threw 2 pinnions and a ring gear lol n that was running 28s n 25s, Whoever says there breaking losi's everytime they drive must really suk n should maybe think about a different hobby, like flying kites that's pretty easy. I'm tuff on my trucks my Old strr n Tamiya would break every single time I drove, my associated wasn't as bad but broke. My losi has been nothing but reliable. I did bore out the rear hubs n front hubs for bigger bearings but that's about it for mods. That's really strange to hear about losi's breaking.
