That’s always the case though. There is never NOT a weakpoint in the system, it’s just a matter of building it up until you don’t exceed it’s limits, or drive it below the threshold of said component(s)

Point is to build the car to last for how you intend to drive it. If you can’t do that, well then there has to be a change elsewhere.
