I like to put Velcro just in the indention of the chassis skirt on both sides and then...

What did work to prevent the front from cracking.... Get your dremmel tool out with the pyramid tipped bit and lengthen the front slot by trimming the slot out about 1/4" toward the rear end of the buggy. I believe the reason it is cracking is because of the chassis flex on impact binds the lid creating too much stress in that particular area. I did this about a month ago and haven't cracked one yet. So far so good.
