Default T-Maxx Shredding Needles?

Hi, I have a Pro .15 T-Maxx and here's a weird one; I keep shredding the high speed needle right above the fuel line port. The first few I deemed as "user error", however I'm on my 5th and the engine has 2 tanks run through it. If anyine out there has had the same problem, I need a FIX!!![]

By shredding, I mean that it makes a clean break right above the fuel inlet port. It literally looks like a clean "cut", no shards or pieces. It will always do it less than 1/2 tank after start up. Someone said it could have been engine vibration. Wouldn't I be able to feel it if the engine was that out of balance. I've been into rc for 5 years now, and I'm stumped!

The only thing I can think of is the throttle linkage binding or rubbing against it.
