Was it just the internal cage that broke?

On the solid axle mini-trucks, the bell housing seems to be the most common failure point, hence the ring added for strength on the early Longfields. The 80 birf is a slightly bigger, so I'm curious if it's the bell that goes most often on the 80 birfs as well or is it the cage like here, or is both a common failure point.
