I have tested this well and the only thing i have not done is ram it into the wall,,,,,
Id sooner take the time and make sure, even if it is after every bad landing just bring it in and check, this is what i have done with 100% success rate
Well worth doing
Well, trust, when I say I put in every effort to keep them from breaking, ever since the first one, more so as these cost me about $40 a tank by the time I install them. consider yourself lucky. I've tried everything you have plus a lot more, but still no sevens on dice. Admittedly I don't bring it in after every landing to check, but nobody does during a heat, and there are no walls to hit at our track, and I don't bash with my race cars. I' like to see a pic or two of your track Andy, just to see if we are on the same page, or better yet a vid.
Anyway, Tekno says they are onto it and acknowledge there is an issue, so you'll be glad there is a fix when you do break a tank.
