I've never had an issue with shattering outdrives, but the new ones are even tougher than the standard ones, so maybe you should try a set of these as a replacement.

Weird thing is. No bent shaft no, bent camber link and I only bent that sides hinge pin. I've heard of blank drill bits being used for more durable hing pins. Is this true?

Sheesh! How are you guys getting away with such light shock oils like 30-40?
I've tried all oil weights and did multiple rebuilds of my shock and if I have light oils I felt as though the rebound was way to fast and made the car very bouncy and easily upset.
I'm currently running 50f/55r.

Yes, my local team member pointed me in the direction of those as well. Also, I got some time to tear the front end down and found out the inner hing pin on that side ripped halfway out of the arm. I'm assuming with the amount of play the arm had from 4 months of wear that hard of a landing would cause that to happen.

I seen someone have the same problem because they left out the droop limiter screws. Might want to check your droop.

I had actually thought about that. I made my droop shorter in front and rear because i was on a tight small track with small jumps and forgot to adjust it accordingly to a large track with large jumps. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I hadn't thought much about it, but maybe that is the culprit.

Running on an outdoor track with no landing for the jumps and I slap wheelie and bottom out bad. Stock pistons and I'm up to 50wt oils but still slaps. My truggy is fine. Can I increase the pack without killing bump handeling? The only Pistons I see reduce pack.

Has both compression and rebound valves. Compression valves close on hard impact, effectively reducing the amount of open piston holes, creating more pack.

all done with assembly!!! Just need to solder up the motor, paint the body and find more double sided tape for my esc. Going with a simple white body for the first one. Not a big fan of the stock body. Build was pretty much flawless, i did notice a few differences between the 'build manual' and the 'set up sheet' in the back but it wasnt a major problem or anything. Cant wait to take this out either this weekend or next!
Edit: got it wired painted and running. Had some serious issues with the spray cans so my white turned into a trippy purple since I added metallic blue to it. I also got to excited and forgot to cover up the window with the stickers they gave you haha. Thankfully this will turn into a practice body.

I wanted to try something new so I thought about an SCT, but ended up w/a buggy. I thought about converting the EB into an SCT, but then decided no.
Parts list:
Kit: EB48.3
ESC: Tekin RX8 Gen2
Motor: 1350kv truggy
Servo: Hitec 7950TH
TX/RX: Futaba 4PX / R204GF-E
Tekno: TKR5262 aluminum cd mount, TKR5211X lite motor mount, TKR5791 SCT body mounts
AE: Wide Hexes 89330
Body: JConcepts Illuzion Rustler
Wheels/Tires: Pro-Line Desperado/Badlands 3.8
Bumper/Skid: Front TBR bumper/Rear DE Racing XD skid
Diff oils F/C/R: 50/500/30
Shock oils F/R: 60/50
Unfortunately the SCT body mounts aren't a direct fit to the EB shock towers, however I was able to use them. The SCT rear will almost slip on the EB front w/minor dremeling.
