I have always been of the opinion that hard braking and torque is the biggest cause.
When you separate the shells - you find that it relies on the two bolted together to stiffen and support. Separated - each shell is surprisingly flexible. Looking at the way its put together ... we have two flexible plastic shells that secure together at the weak narrow point ... then there's motors bolted only to the bottom shell ... then a single small screw securing the outermost two shells together.
My question is - is that good engineering ?
