I’m sure there would be far less broken parts if the owners didn’t crash as often, especially myself lol. I can count a good 20 ET410 owners at our local track, yet we still don’t have a dedicated class for racing.
As for the front, Exotek makes a nice heavy duty brace that reinforces the shocktower with the bulkhead.
As for the inner hingepins, it might be designed to snap before the bulkhead or arms do.
The problem I saw was that inner hinge pins didn't snap, they would bend and arm would snap. The McMaster Carr ones I posted earlier seemed to have solved it for me, on a hard hit, pin snaps, arm usually still good. I have a stock pile of front arms I may not need for some time now lol, but I am good with that.
