A couple people had problems with hinge pins. Mine is one of the oldest kits(I got it when they first came out), and even after months and months of racing, practicing, and severe tumbles, I never even slightly bent one. All issues with the car can be fixed by Following the Directions, I.E. Proper Setup, and or, driving like a racer, not a basher trying to jump his house...It's a racecar, not a toy. If you just want to bash/play, get a hyper 8 RTR.

RE: 8ight
NEVER buy the RTR. If you get the pro kit its an awesome buggy but the RTR will need upgrades to be reliable (just the chassis, towers, shock caps, and 2 more shoes in the clutch) and by this time you'd be better off with the kit in the first place.
It can be made to handle very smoothly and have a slight push or it can get you way to much oversteer and feel twitchy all in the way you set it up so I think it can fit anyones driving style. Now getting it setup the way you want it is a bit tougher thought the stock setup is pretty good. The 8ight is very sensitive to setup changes so its a little difficult to get tuned in right especially if you don't know how the adjustments work. It also has some kick ass fiberglass brakes which will lock up all four tires and they have zero brake fade unlike most buggies. Its just as durable and reliable as any other buggy so go for it if you want one.
