RE: Forget previous post!
I bash pretty hard. Most of the abuse is in the jumps, though my Rustler can take 20ft jumps with a bad landing pretty well. Eventually something will break though. I'm sure if I got a buggy I'd soon confuse it with a plane a try to fly with it. I've seen them do pretty crazy jumps from some videos I've downloaded. Durability is key for me. I would like to get into the racing scene (not professionally) since I just found an off-road track in my city. I'm pretty good at not hitting things at full throttle except for ramps.
Just saw the PBS conversion at nitrohouse: $89.95. Kind of expensive to me. I'm guessing CNC C-hubs are up in that range, too. Anyone know for sure?
