did you race competitively for those 10 gallons. Never heard of anyone with a 1/8 buggy that races that has never broken any parts. the whisper at the tracks is that OFNA are great marketers but their cars wear out and break quickly. Most LHS's will tell you the same but they dont want it to get back to OFNA. You wont hear this about the Mugen X5s. I have had many of the tops buggies. the Mugen prospec is by far the most durable and tends to win most of the races here in my neck of the woods. Yes it costs more but you get what you pay for,.
I've had a LARGE racetrack owner tell me this SAME thing, as well as at least four accomplished racers.
