The question I have is it worth while to tear the whole car down and boil the used parts. At this point I have only boiled new parts.

Great thing about the Mugen though is when you do break an arm it is usually a crack and not a full shatter. Although I have broke it has never caused me to not finish.
I have a broken front A arm on my mugen (not boiled I think) and it's broken in the rear. The arm is just being hold together with that 1 piece of plastic in the front. I drove a practice day with it, 1 day race and 2 race days on a big track with big jumps It won't break... The arm is slighty bend now so I guess I'll put my spare arms on the car

And it was totally my fault when I broke the arm. I almost never break parts when racing a quali or a main. But I'm when I'm practicing, my driving is more aggresive and this don't go that smooth.
