how would you rate the durability of your volcano v/s earthquake 8e? really wanting a eq8e for myself.
thats a tough one. my earthquake 8e has actually broken more on me, but then its larger/heavier and faster.
kinda comparing apples to oranges there.
the volcano with a brushed system on 2s lipo will do high 30mph range. the earthquake will hit 45-50mph.
the super larger tires on the earthquake put alot of stress on the stub axles and the steering.
no issues yet with anything else tho.
on the volcano, i have bent or broken a couple of dogbones, broken a rear hub and a "C"hub. no drivetrain issues as of yet. others have stripped the diffs, but mine have held up fine. pretty amazing for a brushless 4wd with no slipper clutch.
