I hit an exposed edge on the back straight of my local track at full speed, and had a similar failure, truck kept running, but the inner rear "leg" was crushed toward the front about 0.5cm and the hinge pin was bent.
Luckily A-main had spares and none of the local shops have parts yet. You guys Might want to pick up a spare set of Front A-arm and hinge pins.
Other than that, the truck has been pretty bulletproof!

You can see the crush in the bolt hole here
and it bent at the tip of the scribe here
I am used to breaking arms, hopefully replacing it and installing the sway bar will prevent it in the future.
