Horizon seem to think that there is no problem with them and that they are not weak.
In my house hold alone I had 3 brand new Losi 8's. All 3 had problems with the rear hinge pins, 2 of the 8's had issues while they were breaking in.... hard hits? I don't think so.
What I am asking from you is can you honestly tell me if you have bent your rear hinge pins at any point while racing or practise, not bashing as this would probably be a hard hit.

This is just the stock and losi upgraded one please

Thanks people

My Feedback: (33)

Nor myself or several other racers I know ever had problems with the hinge pins . But have read on other forums of people having this problem . What they found for a better solution was to use shock the shafts as hinge pins . I know one side needs to be trimmed off a few MM . If you search on RC Tech forum you will see the thread .

Nope, nobody at my track either.
I guess really bad drivers can break 'em.

I broke 2 hinge pins,

It took a couple of nasty short landings on the big jumps, but I just bought the titainum ones havn't broke one of those yet,

I had a 8ight and a 8ight-T last summer, and I think I only bent one on each of them, over the whole summer.

Nik.

I have broken two. I have not had a problem with the new ones.
