yes it was cold last weekend like 50 degrees. The only end I want to put them on is the front. Duh I suppose I could just put the titanium ones on from 3 racing. I'm using the 835 front axles in it already.

No, metal fatigue due to temperature occurs only at extreme temps - your body wouldn't like you to drive at those temps, so it is unlikely to be the cause.

Plastics are different, but plastic only becomes brittle at temp below approx. 0 Degrees C - but at higher temps they become more flexible and this may account for less breakages at moderate temps (i.e. above 25 Degrees).

I've heard the rear arm tends to break if you get hit hard from the rear.

I'll have to keep that in mind. I did notice the plastic on the car is pretty soft and it does not take much torque to strip a hole out

JP came out with their own line of FX engines but had Novarossi make them to their own specs. I know in the previous times, what JP does is get Novarossi engines and do their own "mods" on them and sign them off as modded JP engines.

The crankshaft is modded and coated.
Piston/sleeve is modded same as old RS an NS based JP's
And if you have the money: CERAMIC bearings
Found this in the JP FX Forum from daniz24 wich is super modded by JP himself:
