I actually found the T2 parts quite strong. I only broke one steering knuckle when I first got the car, and that was cause I was stoopid and tried to go to fast with the new car. I hit my fair share of things and dont have a problem with parts. My track isnt the most friendy track on parts either. I dont belive the plastic is an issue with parts breakage. A total between the 5 t2's at my track that run on a regualr basis I have only seen 2 broken steering knuckles.

Sometimes if you have a setup on your car that is hard to drive you tend to hit more stuff so maybe look into getting a setup on your car that is easier to drive, or try to go slower through the section you are breaking in.

Please stop using colors for your posts other than black. Some colors are difficult to read at some monitors, so make sure to use standard black color that is easy to read for everybody. Thank you.

Agree with all of that ChrisP, but sorry to say that the new impact absorbing bumper does'nt do much in that sort of hit, we still lost a c-hub, knuckle and shaft with it fitted. Sometimes you just can't avoid breaking something, this car arrives at corners much faster, and carries so much corner speed.
