RE: Backdraft 8E questions?
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.

I'm not sure how I broke them. I never hit any solid objects. It actually broke while I has running on the grass. One of those freak events I guess. I want to try the upgraded c hub, but can't find them anywhere.

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.
