I never actually broken a rear wishbone on my T3, I bashed it quite a bit, and raced it last summer. The fronts break more often, but still quite strong, I came up with a solution to that as well :D

Get a pair of RPM front arms for the RC10 GT/T2/T, you will need to trim them on the rear edges to stop contact with the kickup plate (only very slightly, I did it with a sharp knife), these are a bit shorter than T3 arms, to balance it out you can get some Losi front axles for the XXXT - Lunsford do some quite cheap, Duratrax Evader ones work as well. Mount them in a pair of Losi steering arms, and its back to its original width, but with unbreakable front arms and titanium axles. You can cram the Losi axles into the standard steering arms, a friend of mine got some RPM T3 steering arms and drilled them out slightly for a perfect fit, would be the best option if you have a drill.

Btw..nrustler, have you ever ran a T2? No? Then don't claim a Rustler is stronger. Parts used on a Rustler are WEAKER, if you like I have a pair of bent C hubs I had to replace on my Stampede before I could sell it on, complete with bent kingpins I can take a pic of for you. This was from bouncing off a curb at a slow speed (27T brushed!), my T2 has taken much harder knocks and simply not cared. Your N Rustler looks nice and all and I'm pleased it runs good for you, but lets look at what you got for your money - plastic shocks with inferior material shafts, possibly the worst transmission design ever in a mainstream car, and overly flexible materials used throughout. Do the Rustlers even come with adjustable turnbuckles?
