Default Cracked linkage/shock mount on axle

Hi guys, yesterday I noticed that there is a crack developing on one of my redcat 10's linkage/shock mounts (I don't know what else to call them. The u shaped mount on the axle). Looking at this area further I don't see a good way to replace just this part since it's all one piece with the plastic axle. Any suggestions on a bolt on replacement mount or a good way to repair this or reinforce this? Thanks in advance

I really don't think there's going to be any way to fix or salvage that unfortunately. You'll need a new axle housing.

Or, if you want to put a band-aid on it, goop some E6000 on it. A new housing is only ~$8, so I wouldn't put too much more effort into a "fix" Redcat #70606

The plastic can be *fixed* with a slider iron with some skill

Super glue use a small piece of plastic to reinforce the crack glue it all up should last till the new housing comes in personaly i would.replace it with a steel axle housing and axial parts
