Just my 2c
I do a no pop mod on my 8ight truggy/buggy steering turnbuckles, which is very common racing, but nothing supporting around the plastic ends. I want to know when the ends get loose so I can replace and keep the control and accuracy.

#1 - Once they are loose enough to pop off, I swap them out. This is not something to try to make them last forever. Just something to make them stay in place an not pop off during a race. I had brand new ones pop off after two qualifiers for some reason and this helps keep them in their place until the race day is over. I still check them often for excessive wear and change them when needed.
#2 - I don't like RPM plastic, the arms seem to break less because the plastic is soft. I don't like how flexy they are. I don't like that they don't make them in an extended version like the Traxxas ones. Finally, I don't like e-clips.
Don't ask why, I'm just weird that way.
