Are people breaking them now on the new layout? It didn't seem like any were breaking before, the only broken 22 arm I saw was when John got smashed at full speed on the straight.
*knock on wood* I've only broke one kingpin, and had a thrown pin carve a 1/8" deep cut in a rear hub (I'm still using that same hub though without issue) in about 5 race nights and about 10 battery packs in practice.
When I originally decided I wanted to race buggy, I thought that I would be constantly replacing broken parts, but thankfully my 22 has continued to get smashed on by my mediocre driving, cartwheeled across the track, has been smacked by 4WD SCTs in practice, and hasn't had a catastrophic failure yet. It's definitely a durable beast. My Blitz ESE breaks more often than my 22 does.
