The first time I saw a 1/8 nitro buggy, I was amazed how well they took the harsh handling. I couldn't believe my eyes when they just went on and on after a series of brutal landings and crashes. This considering I am a electric guy and used to see them break all the time over nothing.
Imagen the other way around! Hard to convince a nitro guy to convert into electric after they seen it.

I remember 15 years ago. The cars was much more durable then. These days you need at least an extra car just for spares. I made a come back after 15 years of absence last year and I bought a xxx-cr. In the first ten minutes of driving I broke a front wishbone. I blamed it on poor quality. I thought I had one of those cars made on a monday after a hard weekend at the local pub. There had to be something wrong with the material. Later I lerned, thats the way they are today!! I was suprised!

On topic: Hope Durango re enters the good old quality from the good old days
