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.
On the other side of the coin, I have had great luck with the cars durability. I have put about four race days and a couple of practice days and have yet to break anything or have any real issues. With that being said, I have kept a very close eye on things and I ditched the stock ball cups and turnbuckles before I even started running the car to Lunsfords (the stock ballcups are not the best IMO). I came from a durnago 410 which I also had great luck with.
