Years ago I did the full RPM nylon conversion to my RC10T and haven't broken a part in 10 years. It's now my son's truck, if a 4 year old can't break it, it's not going to break...
I havent really thought about other materials than aluminum, I know nylon and delrin are going to be hard to break, but they do flex a lot, which wouldn't hold the precision on the caster block like aluminum would. I guess I could pop some out to try though
