That was running with Lazer Hubs though as you had broken the standard one on friday and couldn't get a replacement, they might have screwed up the steering geometry which put extra strain on the steering rack. Could be the end points were set too high as well.
At the end of the day Ant it's a new car, things will break and I am sure that LRP will look into strengthening items as and when they break. Doesn't matter how much protoype testing you do, joe public is still going to give it more of a strength test than your highly skilled team drivers will do. Remember they are radio controlled cars they don't come with NCAP saftey ratings
