I've been racing my DEX410 since it was released. Have not broken a single plastic part The car seems pretty damn tough to me, not sure if you own a 410?

The only casualties have been 1x driveshaft pin, 1x wheel pin, 4x wheel bearings. So it's not like I haven't bee driving this thing as hard as possible. Great handling car and not crashing helps I guess

The sad part is I have half a cars worth in new spare parts, sitting in my pit box feeling very left out. Rango spares are cheap too.

So what the heck to 8th scale drivers do to their cars to punish them so?

Also saw a comment on Neo that you'll need a threadlock sponsor for the year to run it

It looks beautiful indeed but if its going to be like a 10th car it'll be a non starter for the nitro peeps.

you need a new name for your chair!!

I had not broken anything until a marshal put my car onto a straight with a car coming full power at it. The inner rear hinge pin was bent in a curve as it bent in two places and pulled through the plastic but at that speed you would expect this sort of damage. Have even had that with the 1/8th. I expect the 1/8th Durango to be strong seeing as the DEX-410 is seems to be much stronger than the Losi/AE/X-Factory cars I have raced.
