I'm a pretty good and clean driver and I don't often wreck or drive out of control.

I've lost the front knuckle with extremely light contact with another car that was rolling into the starting grid, barely clipping my front tire and it breaks the knuckle. Same when I have brushed the smooth track piece at low speeds.

Are there any options out there to improve the robustness of the steering knuckles that anyone can recommend?
The problem with the steering blocks on the CRC f1 is that there's no physical stop to prevent them from being turned beyond their limit. There's a few homebrew fixes for this. I'll take pics of my car when I get home tonight.
