The only problem with strengthenin them mate is you would just transfer the problem and it would break something else ie bulkhead or frontbrace

I found a big bumper on eBay for my B44, when I was going through front shock shafts.

I've seen alloy ones.
As mentioned they either bend (and become worse than useless) or they transfer the breakage to a more expensive part.

Same thought here...stick to changing the wishbones...they are cheap and easy to fix...anything stronger will only mean more expensive and difficult repairs!

Slow the car down somehow via EPA/motor/ESC/ or all of those, take a load of speed out until his control is better, and find a big bumper instead...will be much more effective!

Sounds like he's being a right rough bugger with it
Hahahahaha
Get him a stinger Truggy or sc truck till he used to driving stuff big
BumPers are a nightmare on buggys
Remember Paul with his on his blizzard
It was awful
Like when they banned bull bars on jeeps and vans years ago cos to much destruction was happening

Also is there not two types of associated wishbones
Plastic and carbon
Maybe you got the more brittle carbon ones
