I would say
1) Shock pistons. awful lot of blow by and they're molded, not machined, but they seem to work ok. . I use a fairly different setup to everyone else though. Total shock package isn't too bad.
2) CVD pin punches through the plastic cover. Apparently a sign that it needs grease. Get exotek caps or just redo all cvds every 1-2 months...
3) Shock caps may leak. Optional O-rings may not stop leaks. Alu caps still leak. I've probably had leaks 50% of the time when not using green slime. Sometimes you just get it right...
4) I broke the back part of a wing mount. Plastic a little bit too stiff maybe?
5) Broken one ballcup. Mybad, I hit a wooden board that was lining a jump. They're the same ones off the touring chassis though. Would have liked something a touch stronger?
6) I think someone said the new arms broke at the screwhole for the cf stiffeners?
