I've recently had a ball joint/hub failure...



And annoyingly having only ever been used twice, both on smooth open car parks with no heavy crashes, both steering arms have cracked. The one above failing allowing the kingpins to fall out a disappear (couldn't find them) and the other side not far off the same fate.

What I can't get is I run the exact same hubs and steering arms (in standard black) on my other Tamiya tlo1, witch does get some abuse, crashed, rolled etc. and never had any part of the steering fail. Does also now mean I'm going to have to refit the standard boring black plastic parts, as those were the only blue chrome ones I had.
