I had a big issue with the C-hubs on the 416 to start with, seems like the carbon ones are a bit brittle. Went for a while running 3-racing alloy ones until I spotted one had bent, then switched to normal plastic ones... haven't had an issue since, not broken a single one!
Having said that, they look good....

Personally, I would rather it break. I spent a while chasing a setup issues before I spotted the bent C-hubs. It wasn't bent by much, but it made a big difference to how the car handled (as you'd expect with 6deg castor one side, and 4 the other 
). For steering components at the very least, I'll stick with the plastic 
Anyway, if your gonna replace it anyway, why not replace the £4 plastic part rather than teh £15 alloy bit?

If you can make the IFS c-hubs work with your setup, they're basically indestructible! :-) Sloppy, for sure, but I've never had one break. They give a bunch of steering, too.

Hi,
@Bent Aluminum Parts:
Try to leave one "weak part", then you never will have problems with bent Knuckles or Rear Hubs. I only use the front Aluminum Knuckles and rear Aluminum Hubs (0°), and had never a problem, because these 2 parts are the most massive ones.
@New Motormount:
When driving a 2.5T BL there were issues with bent Motormounts. So Tamiya reinforced them in order to get even those "freaks" happy. In my oppinion it is a very nice solved and technically "WOW" solution - (when looking at the very precise fit of the L-Bracket).
