question about differential on ofna ultra lx2

[Sweetlou069]

hello i have a question, to beggen with i broke my front differential case by crashing to fast on a side walk , so i bought a second one finish installing it n i start driving it ..goes good, i did a very small accident while braking the front Wheel hit the side walk again, the differential broke again at the same exact place, so I'm wondering em i swcreaing my screws to much because where it is braking it is exactly were the screw passes, or what em i doing wrongly ? did i just get a poopy manufactured part ?
what i really dont understand is b4 it broke the first time, i crashed it like 10 times very fast on jumps walls ext, n then i get the new part install it, screwed tightly, a small accident n bang breaks again ???

Vehicle. I just saw it in the title. You might check to see that the chassis isn't bent.

i thought it was bent so i googled images of it to see how it was made, and its not bent its made with a small curve in front and not all flat

Its hard to say for certain. I dont have an ultra lx2 so I can't say for certain on this model I just know that my older MBX 9.5 is tough as nails as are most OFNA buggies. Id say that its possible theres a weak spot there on that buggy (in which case you might want to consider a hop up replacement if one is available or it is possible you just got really unlucky? Again, its hard to say for sure.
