The car was going no more than 10mph. 3x in 1 day, i couldnt get around the track without tapping the board once lightly on the right side and if I tapped it breaks.

Now for the strange part. My foam tire/carpet car has aluminum steering knuckles/c-hubs and a Parma front bumper. I can wack the boards at 30mph and keep going.
I don't know how you're breaking parts so easy, i've done the whole British series through the summer, and now almost finished the winter season, and have never broken any of the plastic parts. The alloy parts shouldn't be needed.


With the diff screw breaking, just drill out the outdrives slightly, and apply as little grease as possible to the thrust race assembly.
