I'm sorry but I have no idea what you mean about ripping off the diff cover?

Can you post pics?

Do you crash out a lot as well?

He means the hinge pin brace on the front, that screws to the diff cover.
It might be worthwhile for you to invest in a set of plastic braces, rather than graphite. As they are cheaper and they will break first before the diff cover, or you could just blip the throttle to lift the front end on landings

If you are running out of spares I have my Team car here I might be willing to part with for the right money
Which has got alu front a rear hinge pin braces, steering extension arms (for more steering), Titanium screws throughout, alu motor clamp.

Can I ask where you got the steering arm extensions from?

Hummer11, I had a similar problem, and I bought a T-Bone Racing bumper. Haven't broken anything since. Might look a bit silly, and I've no idea if you can race it (as I just bash), but it might be something worth looking at

They fit to in bellcranks on the chassis, and move the ballstud out by 2-3mm, that with a shorter drag link in the middle gives you alot more lock than the standard setup
