anyone else going through parts that keep breaking

I've done 3 gear cases two sets of swing arms?

I hear its not as durable than others but this is getting far to common

I also hear there doing things about this

I've only broken a steering drag link once, I've not found it any less durable then any other car I've run.

To help the bulkheads, use a M3 tap first, takes a lot of the stress out of it.

AE, have revised the arms, bulkheads & crown gears now, they come in the box of the carpet 64, not sure if you can get them as spares yet.

I'll try that I'll grab a tap from work
I'm beginning to wish I'd waited on the carpet 64 due to where I'll be running this year I might just buy the 64 and sell my 64D
Ive just noticed the nipple has broken off the rear arm for the sway bar mount
Good job I'm stocked up lol


Cheers

Had a couple of big crashes with mine and so far only broken a wishbone and a shock cap . I was going pretty much flat out with a 6.5 when it happened so don't think it's as fragile as it's made out to be
