Going aluminum is not the answer as it only transfers the force of impact to another area of the truck. My advice would be to slow down and try to stop hitting things.

RPM makes revo a arms and those wouldnt fit. Native racing products make aluminum arms, might check them out. But as mentioned above, it will only transfer the impact to other parts.

Boiling your arms actually also gives them a little elasticity or flex, instead of being stiff and brittle. The flex is so miniscule you'd never notice, but it may help them survive in a crash. When I can't find plastic wheels and wings in the color I want, I'll buy white and dye them whatever color. To die plastic you fill a pot large enough to submerge the part in water and pour the dye in. Let it boil for a while and your parts come out whatever color you wanted. Plus you have the benefit of the plastic being tougher. I use my engine temp gauge and get the water to about 200 degrees. If you boil your arms, I'd use something like a clothes hanger wire to make you a few hooks that hang down into the water attached to a piece of wire across the top of the pot to suspend the arms so they aren't lying on the bottom of the pan, or trying to float to the top.
