I have been using an X-ray 808e for bashing for 3-4 years and have not broken one single part and that's doing massive jumps at a box track. The car is bulletproof down to little things like the Cvd pins are inside the hub bearings so no more lost pins. I am currently in the middle of fitting a brushless conversion into a vgc team Durango Dnx408 which I will be putting up for sale once done and I have had a go as I have too many cars, if you do get a roller, i recommend the 80amp hobby wing esc from giantshark.com for £60 and the sensored turnigy motor on eBay for £55 bargains, I only want 200 for my vgc brushless dnx408 with new bowtie wheels and tyres, new clear uncut shell, loads of spares and bits to turn back to nitro if you desire, but no electrics, let me know if your interested, the caster fusion is also quite good. My 808e has the mamba monster from castle and that steve neu motor is a work of art, the magnets are so strong it,s hard to turn the pinion, also don,t overdo the motor, 2000kv on 4s is plenty, faster than any nitro i have seen by a long way...lovely.
