in the 3 Ansmann buggies i've had i've only ever broken 1 kickplate, when i accidentally drove the car at full speed into a wall.
The reason the plate broke is because it had the 2 striped kicker, where newer ones are a block that goes under the hinge pin holder.
It may be a daft idea, but download the mad-rat manual & see if the part number for the kicker plate is different to the one in the x2c manual.. many parts numbers on the X pro cars & those on the standard rat / monkey / macnum etc family series are different although the parts are compatible.. the rat parts should be softer than the X2c / X car parts so should have some degree of flex to counter knocks better.
