I replaced mine and have since run the engine for about one hour and so far (KOW) no signs of cracking. I followed the directions given by a guy from Spain who services CRRC engines in his country. He says it has more to do with how much torque you use when installing the hub and making sure the key is in the right position, meaning when you slide in the new hub it should go in smoothly all the way, if it doesn't, the key is misaligned. And you should not apply more than 10 lbs. of torque. Also try to avoid overtightening the prop nut. I now use a short wrench to ensure I don't go too far.
