I understand your concerns - I have the same concerns. The reason there is no one-piece rear block is because I need some place to take the battery out. I've had a look at different ways to do so (side, rear, rear and tilting upward being the main ones) and I ended up with this setup.

I hope it holds up. If it keeps breaking then some revisions have to be made, but I think the carbon plates at the edges will massively reinforce the blocks. By how much we'll see once the car hits the track
