That's really my only complaint. I wish I could buy one that's thicker, or made from steel or something. With LiPo, we really don't need bendy, fragile aluminum parts.
Something I was playing with recently was using alloy screws.... so rather than bending the block, you bend the screw... however, that I think is having a bit of an issue.. and I have bent a couple now, so back to the steel ones for the time being
