Default Broken rear bearings

I've had my Hara Pro4 for about 4 months. I think it is a great car, but I have been breaking things on it more frequently than on my previous cars (TC4 and JRXs).

Now that my driving is improving, things are better. However, I was surprised today when I was doing some maintenance and saw that the bearings for one of the rear axles had broken (the center portion was at a nasty angle to the rest of the bearing). After just a little prodding with my finger, the bearing completely came apart and the little tiny balls started to spill out.

I have side swiped the boards on several occasions with the Pro4 and with my previous cars, but this is the first time I have seen the bearings break.

Has anyone had similar experiences? I'd love to hear that this was just a freak occurrance and will not happen regularly.
