Has anyone on here had many problems out of the rear suspension plate? I broke mine the other day and it let the rear CV move around enough that it broke at the joint. I also noticed my rear shock tower has a crack in it, but that was my fault for taking a run without the body, and underestimating the power of the .18, lol.

I have heard that the replacement parts seem to be stronger than the originals, does anyone else seem to think this is true? I know I replaced the front knuckles on my last N-Evader after breaking them, and never had a problem again. I am hoping the new shock tower and suspension plate will be the same.

I have also broke 2 CV's altogether, but both of them were older and has more miles on them. I have sinced replaced them, but am not sure how well they are holding up since I just ran out of fuel. I originally broke the left one, so I bought a new set and just replaced the left side one, and left the original on the right side. Then, a few tanks later, that one broke as well. Maybe they just broke in part due to their age.

I hope all these problems are just one time bad luck, because I've had a hell of a time keeping this sucker together lately. The .18 is just killing the driveline. The tranny and spurs hold up great, but its the wheels and CV's I've had problems with. I have stripped the inside out of both rear wheels, which I fixed my using longer pins (which worked great), but then I broke the left rear wheel. These are older wheels, and I planned on getting new wheels and tires soon, so this isnt a big deal, but the fact that it happened is crazy to me. I have never broken a wheel. Then again, I have never had anything to put out the kind of power this thing does...[&:]
