New Yokomo TC, the BD-5

Just had our last winter series carpet race, I ran the BD5 in super stock (boosted 13.5) and stock (17.5). Over the weekend I broke 9 (yes 9!) C-hubs, both carbon and plastic. I mean the car ran great when it was in one piece but, I only finished 2 qualys with it. I'm running: cut axles, Xray hard bumper and a Kydex cattle catcher.
It was a tough track with hard boards but, there's gotta be some way to bulletproof the fragile front end of this car... Any thoughts?

I'm gonna try the aluminum C-hubs with plastic arms and knuckles but, it's next year country now. I was thinking about trying to fit Xray arms / hubs / knuckles but that's sacrilege, isn't it.
Here's a link to the video of the 17.5 A main unfortunately, I had to run my TC6 with no setup time for this one as the BD5 was of course, broken.

The track does look tough. Is that the CRC track barriers? Are others having the same problems? Trying the aluminum stuff is probably your only choice. I would say if you are hitting the boards alot, its not going to matter what brand parts you have on it, its going to break.
