Unlike others I will not comment on a car I've never owned.

I say Losi, provided parts support is OK.

In the 5 years I've had cars from their 8ight line, I've never had any big mishaps.

Parts and bearings wear out, and a few broken parts from me being stupid. But no DNF's other than what was my own fault. That's what you get for not using locktite.

Yes, they are sloppy, they all are. Some claim Losi has more slop than other, I wouldn't know. It works for me.

I do know the center front axle wears faster than other buggies, but on the plus side it's the only one you have to keep an eye on regularly.

It does have some points to be aware of. For instance, the screws holding the towers to the bulkheads should be swopped for longer ones. They tend to loosen up over time, longer ones have more plastic to grab and never come loose.
