I have only ever broken one. I caught a metal spike holding a piece of pipe in place. No fault of the part.

Default Wishbones

Yeh mke I was one of them and it was a little bit weird - the webbing broke but afterwards when i tried to break the wishbone it was still very hard and rigid.

I don't recall seeing any break like this, I could be wrong though. I've only broken one rear arm since getting the production wishbones, so I wouldn't say they are weak.

drill out the hole and use a losi pin that goes all the way through with cir clips on the end to stop them spreading, which is what causes them to snap at the webbing,
