Worst one was today, BOTH pins snapped at the same time on a run up the launch ramp? Any new batches available/replaced parts?

You have got your blocks on the right way up? The pins are supposed to come out of the rear block at an angle to match the kickup of the chassis. Also check the front one isn't bent because I have managed to bend mine (it did come down on the front corner from about 8 foot up though so something had to give

)
If you can't find spares they are the same length as the madrat rear inner hinge pins.
Has to be said I think I broke more hinge pins on my X6 than I have on my x4te, or x4pro

. Still haven't broken a wishbone on any of my A cars
