The mugen has composite suspension parts too, and I can't think of anything that truck has over the XT8.........

As far as alloy front steering knuckles and c-hubs go, I have been running the stock composite 'get up' on my truck since I got it a couple months ago and *knock on wood* haven't broken it yet....

G-clips, other brands may pop out, but I guarantee you their parts weren't made with the same quality and precision that XRay/HUDY parts are made with. I have NEVER in running their shocks for 3 years (since they've been out), I repeat, NEVER blown out a shock, and I have raced on some rough tracks...

The alloy bits would make it a touch heavier as well. I didnt go that route (buying all the alloy) gonna keep it stock with the exception of hinge pin holders and 2 piece engine mount. If anything I might be weakening it a bit with the optional hinge pin holders. Not alot of contact area where the pins ride in the bushings. Plenty of tunability with the stock pieces.

I looked at the pictures and just tried to see if there was a definite weak point that would require the alloy stuff. I couldn't see one.

The G-clips dont bother me. never had one pop out and they arent that bad to work with.
