Trying To Get To The Bottom Of The Losi Strike Conundrum

[Andysan]

Evenin' Ladies & Gents,

I'm torn between buying a Losi Strike or waiting for an SC10 to show up cheapy. The consensus seems to either be that the Strike is worthless and will break the first time you run it, or its indestructible and fantastic value for money. This leads me to think that the problem is down to assembly quality rather than build quality of the parts. Buying the CVD's seems a necessity but I dont understand how steel turnbuckles can simply snap unless people are jumping their Strikes 6ft in the air onto a solid surface.

If anyone with experience of the Strike could sum up what needs to be done to turn it into a reliable racer i would be most grateful as it seems to have a pretty poor rep that I am not sure is justified.

Thanks!
