The fan mounts on my Castle Monster X 8s ESCs keep breaking off. Is there a solution beyond just replacing it with another stock one?

You mean aside from sending it like it's an airplane. Yeah, probably not.

Looks like a piss poor design on Mamba's part. Not to mention the larger fan. That's not helping you. Any way to sneak a zip tie or wire on that end to keep it from snapping when you take a hard hit?
 
What I have ordered is a replacement cover and a M2C carbon fan brace. What I would like is a 3D printed fan mount made of the same stuff 3D RC makes their wing mounts out of. I have seen them on Arrma builds before so I know they exist, I just don't know who makes them.
 
I agree with @Rowdyray that larger fan you got isn't going to help. Especially when it looks like it sits higher than the chassis brace asking to be hit first.
