2nd qualifier of last night's club race... snapo! :( Average crash, buggy landed hard on left rear wheel after double jump attempt (nothing huge). Another 501X owner at our track broke the same piece at a regional race a couple months back and from what I hear was replaced with a stronger piece (apparently Tamiya knows about this problem and his new piece looks identical, so hopefully a stronger type of aluminum, maybe forged and not cast).
