I bought this car and loving it so far on black carpet. I won our club race only after the second race day. I am finding however that the pull-rods keep spitting at the ends after some very minor touches. One of my pull-rods split after going over a dot on the track causing me to pull off. I did win our last race with a spit pull-rod as I had no more spares with me. Is anyone else finding a problem with the pull-rods splitting at the ends? So far any light taps or even if another driver taps my car lightly they seem to split. I've had not had any hard crashes whatsoever. These have been very minor taps.
