Yes, I am listening. This is the first I have heard of this....and this wheel has been on the market for about 8 years. We use the same plastic on this wheel as on the 1/12, sedan, and our nitro wheels. None of these have any breakage issues. Perhaps the process that applies the carbon coating somehow weakens the plastic (although I doubt it). We will look into this and explore adding material to the wheel to beef it up too.
