MB Models are good for Associated parts and provide great delivery service..
If you have been driving outside , when it is very cold , all plastic parts can become very brittle and easier to break..! Personally, although they are lighter, I think that carbon parts are easier to break, again when cold..
Try to teach him to avoid hitting things..!

Yes all b4.1 plastics are compatable with the newer car. Most drivers (even the pros) tend to use the plastic parts as they flex a little more than the carbon parts, so when you hit things with plastic it has a give that takes a bit of the brunt. Def stronger for a young lad learning than the carbon. The b4.2 to my mind doesn't have any real strength upgrades other than titanium turnbuckles. Most upgrades are for track handling.

Hi

Here are a couple of strength upgrades for B4 based cars, I suppose they will fit the b4.2

Super strong front wishbones
