We believe this is due to having cheap spokes. Now that we are replacing cheap spokes as they break with good spokes less spokes, less spokes break each time we test or race. We are getting good at truing wheels at least. Last week we broke the front right axle when a driver hit some gravel and slammed into a curb. We fixed it by putting a solid steel bar in the axle and welding around it.
State is next.
Good luck and racing to all. Wow, it seems like just yesterday we just started our car, and here we are almost to the state rallys. It has been a great time and learning experiance. We can all say that we have learned a lot. Especially, about forces and strength of materials.
