New Backdraft 8e
I got a backdraft 8E from urchobby.com(Thanks for the service). Anyways to all the haterz...this buggy is bada**. I have put Four charges through it and first was a break in run. 2nd two charges were beat the crap out of it in an old construction site. (bent wing support). My last run (Today) i set up some 4ft tall ramps. IT WILL BACKFLIP. The control in the air is very very good even when i was trying to break it (8ft-10ft air landing every possible way on concrete and dry grass. The results: bent aluminum wing support, screw in steering link came out. I will continue beating it until something does break then ill let you guys know. It is worth every penny. sometime ill make it to a track as well.
P.s. Backdraft came with aluminum steering link and anti roll bars??? new model?

I noticed that the 3.5's were coming with those, and different colored shock springs with aluminum caps. Thank goodness. The plastic caps sucked, as did the steering link.

RE: New Backdraft 8e
Is yours the newest version? I had a old one I got used and had to add the white springs and add the upper c hub brace that comes on the new version earthquake 8e. Also the screwholes and servo brace are different on the new versions. Yes I agree the backdraft is awesome. Almost over powered.
