My guess is the ET410 has gotten really popular since it’s release a short time ago. But majority of owners aren’t the “hardcore racers”. Rather its for the guys who go to the track with a group of friends to have a good time and a few good laughs. I’m sure there would be far less broken parts if the owners didn’t crash as often, especially myself lol. I can count a good 20 ET410 owners at our local track, yet we still don’t have a dedicated class for racing.

As for the front, Exotek makes a nice heavy duty brace that reinforces the shocktower with the bulkhead.

As for the inner hingepins, it might be designed to snap before the bulkhead or arms do.
