There is an OFNA parts tree. I cant remember the code but the shock tops are a perfect match and they are very strong. A little google searching will help. Try searching 'OFNA shock tops losi mini 8ight'

Best solution is to use the OFNA Tops (37100) and the Rodends from Traxxas (5349). You just need to use the stock hollow balls in the Traxxas parts.

It just sounds like you've been really unlucky. I raced for Losi here in the UK for over a year when the mini-8 first came out and it's fair to say I put in alot of hours with the car and didn't make any at all. Obviously your experience is different, I never had a problem with any bits from the Mini-8 |
