Cracked Chassis at King Pin Mount

I was noticing that I recieved a nice crack on the left front king pin holder. Not sure when it happened but I imagine it was last Thursday. Its not all the way cracked and I think I'll run it anyway but I could use a new chassis. Anybody have a gently used or new one to sell?
When I first saw those Atomic SSG strengthener pieces that glue onto the front mounts I thought they were novelty. But it looks like they might have been a good thing. Maybe I should pick some up.

instead of replacing it you can use these tower bars from PN. the have Orange, Blue, and Silver

KENON Exclusive Distribute> PN MR-02 Tower Bars.

I've been reading a couple threads and blogs and have heard nothing but good things about the king pin holders, I will be buying some myself after my first crack (if I haven't already gotten one) I forget how many cars I bough but if I have a spare chasis I will let you know if you still want to go that route.

I've never broke one of these.....

I know that the clear colored chassis are weaker than the light gray plastics.   I have seen the clear ones get broken.

Ya I just want the regular gray stock one. I heard the clear ones where weaker too. Actually I could use two.

a new one is only $10,   I have replaced them before,  you have to be careful when removing the steering gears and servo,  lot's of very little parts.

Yes its either there or Ebay through Hobby Japan. Since I need two I will probably go HJ. I could get both for $17 shipped. Since mine is only cracked though maybe I could just add the strengtheners now and call it good. If someone is making a Kennon order soon let me know because to get two through them with shipping is $27.00.

I have an order sitting in my cart.  I haven't pulled the trigger because I purchased that Porsche body.  it may still be a while before I place the order.

I'm always purchasing I'll let you know when I make another purchase from there.

Well I got my PN 1 degree caster Tower Bar installed. Very easy to do by the way. It looks killer! I also put on 1 degree camber knuckles. I'm in the pursuit of high speed cornering. Hopefully I get there.
