Great thread on the 'rebuild'
Glad that I didn't splurge and buy the Capo. The Cross-RC is enough of a challenge to keep running. I have broken 2 steering knuckles already with no real off-roading. 1 broke during assembly and the other broke at Indy during its maiden run. I had ordered more steering knuckles after reading a few build reports on the 8X8. Just glad that I had an unassembled 6X6 handy to get parts from. Noticed that they changed the type of plastic for the axles in the 6X6. Feels more like an engineered plastic rather than ABS in the 8X8.
Will keep watch to see what you say about the Cross-RC 8X8.
