I got my Losi 8-T 2.0 about 2 months ago and I have bent a rear shock shaft two times. Both times it was while I was practicing, once at my local track in Carson City and the other was a P-City during warm up before the last race. That one really sucked because I came down from Nevada, got a hotel room for 2 nights and couldnt race due to this problem. The set-up was the same both times, 35w 56 piston and purple spring. I can't afford to replace a $12 shock shaft every month. Can anybody help me??

I have been racing a 2.0 T since they were released in march and I have never had a shock shaft bend. I have had issues with the screw on top of the shaft backng out 1x and the plastic shock end strip 2x but never bend a shaft. Are you running some crazy setup or excessive droop? There must be some reason you are bending shock shafts. Also are you using the ti nitriden ones?

It dosent make sense cuz I dont run hard during practice so I dont crash hard.
