chassis
I to had this happen on my G4RS chassis but where it cracked it also chipped right next to one of the engine mount holes. I was unable to get the distributor (Wolf Hobbies) to replace the chassis. They claimed the problem was due to loose motor mounts or because I was using the 2 piece motor mounts. If we are supposed to use the one piece mounts to avoid this happening then the one piece mount should have come with the kit. I have never run any of my kits with loose motor mounts as I use locktite when I do the install. I still feel its a manufacturing flaw with the chassis. This has never happened on any of the other kits I have run.

That looks like stress fractures in the material used for the chassis.
That alluminium looks very grainy as well compared to the G4S chassis.

how tight did yr screws go in order to 'cracked' a 3mm chassis?
usually i tighten my engine screws tight but not overly tight; do you guys really need to tighten those screws 'that tight'?

hey Alex how are they cracking are you hiting something hard ?? could there be an issue with your down travel screw setting??there must be something thats creating pressure and makes the bottom of the shock pull out the ball stud like that??cause the amount of times you have had it happen dosent seem right?
cheers

which one is the travel screw ? in any case, it happens at front AND rears lower arms ... I superglued them now and I ordered some 4mm ball studs with 5mm long thread (the stock one is 4mm) with few extra spare arms just in case ... the thread cant be longer cause it will be hitting the big screw inside.
