Wrecks happen... and like I said its the small wrecks that i think it should handle but those are the ones that break it. :shock:

I dont know what to think really... i dont drive any harder than I did with my K3. With that car i felt like i could run into a brick wall and nothing would happen. With the XB8, its like a real "luxury" car... i feel like i need to be a little to careful with it.

Its all good though

If I have to worry about driving it carefully, I need to sell it then :cry:

and get me something that can hit a brick wall---777 or X5

well sounds like you need a bulldozer? i wonder if they have them for nitro? :lol:

botom line- any and ALL buggys break and its all part of the hobby. i just think we are hearing of bad things on here rather than good. i got slammed into from behind and broke my lower rear a-arm but its only $4 so why cry about it just get back ups. i do w/ every bug i get . :wink:

Im not really complaining... even though it may come across that way.

I am just keeping your guys informed on issues i am having with my car that will probably never happen again.

Im just a little disappointed i have broken 2 HUDY steel items, all the spares i have are the plastic peices that expect to break like arms and turnbuckles, etc...

i am not selling my XB8 or going back to my K3 which i still have.

So you actually like the XB8 better than the K3---can you tell a big differance in the 2 in the way the act on the track?

when the XB8 is not broken... its DIALED. With the Gene Hickerson setup its pretty damn nice.

I am interested in what JOOR and Frosty can come up with.

The mugen still feels a little more planted on the track to me but the setup changes with this car seems pretty unlimited so its just a matter of time.
