I keep on breaking them, and with very little cause. My previous car could withstand the greatest of hits, sometimes cartwheeling across the track. I keep a spare of everything, but yesterday I busted the right 4deg C hub twice, once in practice and then again in the first heat, a very disappointing finish to my day, especially when I spent $600 on new gear and parts the week before and travelled 500mi to be there, and didnt get to line up for the final.
seriously I didnt even notice the impact, no other cars around... go around a corner and then theres a wheel missing. I must have hit the boards, but if I did it would have been so softly...the car didnt flip, spin, change direction after the impact or anything to indicate that I hit something...
Maybe I got one made from the same batch of composite that the original arms were made from.
its just so disappointing to spend so much money, on gear, travel, accomodation, etc then to have a $3 plastic part break and put an end to the day...
OK, rant over, feeling better now.
Have you tried using the graphite ones instead?
