Wing mounts, bend easily.
Front hub carrier but it's rare.
Had a few bent rear shock shafts because they're on the back of the buggy so they take the hits.

I think once in a year and a half we've broken one front arm.

I would recommend,
Aluminum front arm mount
Aluminum rear arm mounts
Aluminum rear hubs
Aluminum wing mounts
I like the Yaiba front suspension mounts the BEST! makes most sense, of all the aftermarket alu or brass mounts. Why cant hopup makers put in some brainwork when making hopups? instead of just making an alu or brass version of the original part...

after wrenching the rb5 for years, the yaiba front suspension mount was a huge and welcomed innovation I just had to transplant to to the rb6.
