Back to the origanel ? here boys, The M8 I was talking about broke off gimble at yoke and was hanging by steering rams. Drive is one inch longer and bigger bullet creates massive stress on gimble ass'. #6 in my eyes is top notch quality. Why try to change it.

thanks all for the great response.

Was it under warranty?

Yes . this unit broke in 15 minuets of hard running. Maybe just a flook. Once again, #6 is the stuff.
Maybe one or ten years from now I may own a 6.:lolhit:

Read this whole thread and not one picture, backup to the story, nothing... So what's the real agenda behind the post? All I have read was yes the #6 is a good drive, but we know this, and no one has heard of a #8 failure that's documented.. Sooo what's your point?

Oh good, at least it was covered by warranty. The 6 is a great proven drive. The M8 will ultimately prove itself to be superior from a durability standpoint.. Of this I have no doubt.
