Frame/chassis problem- crack in fender well

[Xtremluck]

I think the problem is more the result of hard off road driving vs. batteries. Im sure the extra weight doesn't help though. A user in China posted this yesterday in the 5th Gen Familia group as a solution they implemented.

For me I've just given up and let the cracks be. It doesnt seem there really is a fix for this and there haven't been any examples out there that I'm aware of where there was catastrophic failure. I guess we will find out

I'm actually the guy commenting back and fourth with the Chinese FB user. Hopefully I can convince the creator to sell me the CAD drawing so I can have a local shop fab it. Otherwise I'll try welding on some additional sheet metal. I'll post updates.
