Yeahhhhh not so sure about that list. I've never broke ANY of those parrts on either my E-buggy or my nitro car.
The arms, rod ends (steering and camber all come in one $20.00 kit) and the suspension bushings are a good idea but only for emergency backup or a few months down the road for when you want to freshen it up. The arms damn near NEVER break but they will bend over time.

The price is good though, as the Hobbywing is $96.
I have been running the IX8 but needed a glitchbuster cap to keep the system from browning out while using a KO Propo RSX servo. It is one of the old IX8's without the improved BEC though.

Does anyone use the Fiorini pistons? I see a lot about the CSI and Serpent tapered, but nothing about the super fancy ones.
Just curious. I just rebuilt my shocks on my 811 and put in CSI blues (outdoor bumpy tracks, seemed to be the recommendation over blacks which were more hard packed smooth conditions). I got a set of CSI bladders also but still using the webbed bladders that I had. 45wt front 35wt rear AE oil. Will hopefully get it out in the next few weeks, but have an onroad race in a week I am prepping for.
