Day one broken Rod End as the result of nothing special. It split along the seam. My day was saved because the track had RPM's in stock.

Day 2 - Ball end broke off inside the caster block after what I would call an ordinary jump. I resorted to using block B only to have the front left "A" arm break in half. This was a pretty hard hit though.

Take away for me was to stock up on spares.
I used to be sold on AE ball cups. Not any more, the last 2 kits the ball cups have been total failures. 2 in one day one kept popping off and the other split same as yours. I have since been using the JConcepts they are nice. I will get some pics up. There cool looking and pretty tough so far.
