I broke one in my first round of racing today. I got put into the wall and broke it right at the base. The buggy was freaking hooked up too

Bad part is I don't think there is a single set of them in the US

I am also using 2 orings on the outside of each shock and I also moved the suspensions arms out by 1mm on each side and have so far not broken any yet despite having bought 2 spare sets

Probably overhardened, but if their catching on the driveshafts their gonna snap! Even if you limit it to stop it catching, on a hard landing they will still touch, especially if you are relying on rubber o rings.

I would certainly recommend against O-rings for this purpose. Use something solid, and only something solid.

So about o-rings, I conclude it's just a matter of colour, following the same rule as front Losi springs: orange are very soft and black very hard

So would the Northy orings be really soft, then the associated orange medium, and the schumacher blue hard?
