Need to find out why they are bending. Must be bottoming out in the cup at full compression. Some rubber stops on the front shocks might help. Check plunge in the out drives. If it's too deep add equal washers on PB top and bottom to provide clearance.
You can also straighten those bones in a vise if you are careful. I have straighten many in the past. They were not 100% straight as new, but very close and did continue to work for year or so.
Hope you figure it out either way, but seems wrong to go back to old style parts IMO. Good to have the option to do that though since you own the parts needed.

Not surprised to hear this. I just started driving the car two weeks ago (and 8th scale in general) and i cannot believe the amount of stress and wear on the car in that short amount of time. My approach to the droop screws is to use them as a tuning tool and set any baseline droop using internal shock limiters.

I don't think you will want to go with internal shock limiters, With as much as i adjust my droop per track and traction amount. . I cant see that being the best way to go. If you just wanna add 1mm your tearing apart those shocks. It does wear on the chassis but your chassis is made to wear.
What is your approach to setting your droop amount based on the track and traction?
