But I have broken 3 times in the last 2 race meetings, the car seems weak in this area because I came into contact with 2 over cars and I always come of worst, it has got that bad I have been thinking of changing car to a xray because they seem to be able to take a knock from another car!

cutting of the axles helps a lot if there are boards you can hit, i had broken 3 before i cut off my axles, and none since,

ofc it could also juts be bad luck, you should measure over a longer period of time
Yes you should use the plastic ones
Also, the new front DCJ have short axles which are flush with the wheel
