Thanks for the posts. Tekno I appreciate your customer service, and I will be getting in touch shortly. At the end of the day I did buy the buggy to race in the 2014 season, and I have dnf'd all three events so far. I have one more tank left, I will mount with all due care, check my setup again using all extra info learnt thus far and anything extra I find in the next couple of weeks and give it a go. But if it breaks again, there's not really anymore I can do is there? I can't second guess all the instructions and setup sheets.

Maybe I have a defective buggy somehow, it can happen, the production process is not infallible. But I will see and hope for the best. In the meantime I will liaise with customer support for a possible solution.
