Steering Knuckle broke already?

Hey, I had my enzo for about a week or two now and my steering knuckle already snapped. I tried super-glue but then it just broke off again. I was just casually running around a track and all of a sudden it stopped steering. That was when I saw that one wheel was turning and the other wasn't, and the steering knuckle snapped in half. Is it just me or is the enzo more prone to breaking the knuckle? My bro's had his supra for a about 2 months already and he hasn't even broken it yet.

I have two enzo's, and both of them suffered from broken knuckles and h-plates. I upgraded knuckles to alloy and h-plate to cf. No broken parts since upgrade.

The only time I ever broke a knuckle on my Enzo was when someone hit me. The F1 is another story and I can't seem to locate alloy F1 knuckles. Those carbon fiber h-plates also break, especially if you use the thinner ones. Regarding purchasing alloy MR-02 knuckes, I purchased mine through MiniZWorld; however, I've been waiting for MiniZRacer to get back with me on the alloy F1 knuckles (I'm not holding my breath). You may also want to check MiniZ store.

Probably, but I have a lot of F1 tie-rods saved up from all those times I purchased F1 knuckles. That reminds me, I gave someone a set of stock MR-02 knuckles....

ok, I've replaced my knuckles with aluminum ones and they seem to be running good so far. As for the stock h-plate, mine is still in good condition it seems, even with all the cars bashing each other around.
