Default Lt80 engine cases broke

Well Sunday my boy broke the engine cases on the Lt. Where the rear bolts through the cases they cracked and broke big time. Now I need to find another set of cases. Anyone? Also I contacted Brake racing today and they say they went throught several sets last year. Anyone else having this problem? If so is there a cure.

Now I'm seriously debating on selling the Lt80 for a Kasea. This sucks cuz I just bought full Works suspension for the Lt this week.

Yes this is common once you start to get some air or you start pushing these bikes hard.There are some improved cases I believe, as well as some welding reinforcing you can do.I'm sure the LT80 experts will jump in and let you know whats the best fix.

To be honest, this break was mechanically induced <G>. The bolts had to be loose to break where it did.
The cases usually break in another area.

Uh,Oh! So you think something was loose to cause this? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] Now I feel like crap![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I go over my sons machine all the time. I guess not good enough. I guess chalk this one up to a lesson learned! So if anyone has some cases they wanna sell please let me know.
