i had one break on me and it was a fairly light crash on pavement, after replacing it i have beat the living hell out of the truck and the gs028 has not failed again on any corner of the truck. The one that did break on me when i looked at it didnt quite look right where it broke ( right at the pin) i guess thats its weakest point but the metal looked like it had air pockets in it or something ( pourous might be the right word im looking for ) and i figured it just to be isolated incident.
