You are correct I did break one outdrive. That was from getting punted into pit lane. I put the spacers on just to be safe. So that is true I did break one.
The only other thing that I broke have been the carbon arms. That is to be expected with Carbon parts and the one I broke during warm up is when I clocked the tube on the straight, that was my fault not the cars. I switched to the Medium Flex arms and went out and turned in my best run ever with the car since I knew i could push it. Heck I was in 3rd in the main until the hackfest started. EVERY new car will have its issues. When I helped OCM with their truggy it was the same thing and they fixed their material issues. AE had the exact same problem on the GT2 with a material issue. Things happen I don't think it is the design but oh well. I really enjoy the car. Waggz

Rob, obviously i'm in the UK, so i know nothing about how things are in the US. However, most people here and on RCTech seem happy with the service they recieve - so if you're not, i'd call them.
Like Glypo said, i have been running the car for a long time - maybe feb/march last year. My understanding of the new outdrives was that there were going to alter the material/treatment and have them made without the slot.hole. They definitely have no slot now, and like i said, when we tried to break one with pliers, we couldn't.

If they have redesigned the outdrive then it sounds like they have truly taken some steps to fix the problem. To sorta go full circle on this statement of mine, it has been since Thanksgiving and I have not seen any of these fixes sent to me, no parts, no explantions, no emails, from Schumacher USA. Must I hound them to receive my parts, I have better things to do. Waggz, I do appreciate your comments. And yes it was a hackfest, hope we have a better weekend this week. I will be trying the TRF-501X and running the Yokomo again. See you there.
