I know! I Braught this up with Bent but he just pulled a jerk move and said it was my fault for not using loctite. I'm glad others think this issue is also clearly a weak point. I am a local club expert level driver, I have never broke a part minus this on the xb2. Bottom line is that this should be a part that should not break. Rc America made things right and is replacing the part for a discounted rate but now I am also going to carry a backup rr hanger.
