I broke a oem rod when I first bought my Banshee. Let my brother ride it and he was running wfo for a few minutes. Piston seized and of course, the rod snapped. It can happen on any crank, any rod.
BUT to say that these inferior Taiwanese rods aren't to blame for all these new cases of crank failures is crazy. When you look at the failure rate of them vs every other rod manufacturers its easy to see. Jmo
