Status: offline 		I just got my Backdraft 8E today. Broke the left front C hub on the first run. The C hubs are very weak. I'm having trouble finding anyone that carries the replacement part. This thing is fast. The charger that comes with it is a balance charger. It's a good deal for the price. The hubs are 17mm.

Yea they do break. Redcat sells a upgrade part it is a MPO-02 but they are now out of stock. I do have the stock c hub carrier if you need. http://www.urchobby.com/proddetail.php?prod=BS903-017

Yea all of the MPO-02 carriers I had in stock sold out in a few days. Hopefully Redcat gets them back in stock soon. It is a good upgrade to do on your car.

Status: offline 		 Well the C hub replace did not go as planned. The screws that hold the C Hub to the knuckle are weak. One stripped and the other broke off inside the knuckle. I'm going to order the MPO parts so I don't have to go through this again. I may try to find some stainless steel screws for the front end.
