Default 22-4 reliability?

How are people finding the reliability and strength of these?

Reading on RCtech the US guys seem to be suffering a lot of broken hing-pins and arms in particular. Are the uk runners finding this or are the big air tracks the US guys make just more punishing?

So far so good here although I have broke a shock tower. It was a inverted landing from a good height at pretty high speed and I think good enough to have broken any car. TLR are recommending we leave out the hinge pin grub screws as a work-around for the early hinge pins which they think are over-hardened. The hinge pin snaps in half where the grub groove is and this leaves the front wishbones only supported at the very front. They then snap when the car gets a bump or some such thing. Mines only been on track a little bit so far but I am impressed with it. Out tmrw at West Bridgeford on carpet so fingers crossed.

Or just use a regular 22 hinge pin...

hey, I hit the wall on the back straight in the Swansea club, and broke a wishbone and hinge pin. Right on the grub screw groove. Dropped one in from my 22.

Was going to pick up another 22-4 one tomorrow, but if its a problem part, i might leave the 22 one in for a while.
