i have been runing the BD for just about 2 months, and i have had no major issues with the universals that come with the BDM, granted i have not ran them at socal, so i have not had one bend, i did have one Snap, but i nailed a guy that was parked at the end of the strait, also took out the front sock tower, spool, caster block, steering block, steering rack, and bent two hinge pins, lol
