i don't think tamiya ever produced alum susp. arms for 416 series. and from my experience, tamiya arms are very strong! even with the normal ones you'll bend the suspension mount in a crash.

secondly, by bulletproofing your suspension (alum arms, c-hubs, knuckle, etc) it will direct the impact to another parts. if i were you i'll stick to original parts.
