The tc5 ballstuds are what i run on my desc410r and i will be putting them on my dex210 aswell so i can run my fancy Flo yellow jcon ballcups lol
Over tightening can cause it too- not so much into plastic pieces from what I've seen, but on the DESC410 I cracked a couple just tightening them too tight on the shock towers where the camber link mounts.
