More common with k factory style tower. Ae shock tower breaks are more common and cheaper to fix.

Usually a chassis snaps once, after that you are supposed to replace it
Where do you keep snapping them. If its in the front, do you have alu. parts there (e.g. front bulkhead / shocktower mounts etc.) ? Sometimes an alu bulkhead will have sharp edges that make small cuts in the chassis during a big crash. After that all you need is a minor tap to full fill the divorce of the front and rear end of the car.

ive only done 1 and is not a common thing to break and i only broke it cuz i fit a wall square on at top speed, but if youve got loads of alloy on it then thats your problem

You running the "carbon" or plastic one?
I've found plastic parts to be a bit more brittle if it's really cold outside...? Is it the same track and what kind of crashes? |
