Ghost- Are you breaking the spindle or the caster block(c-hub). If it is the caster block Losi has mad a running change to the parts, if you look on the bottom part were the king pin srew goes in this area is thicker. The other big part to breaking front end stuff is whether or not you are on throttle when you impact the pipe, you can hit things really hard and not break if you are off power but if you are still in the throttle it does not take much to break.
