even the stock proline wings are super strong boil them and they will last a whole season without cracking. I was really impressed with the hd wings those, i beat my buggy and truggy to death and they still look new

Heat does make plastic more brittle, because heat causes the moisture in the plastic to evaporate, hence more brittle.
Boiling does the opposite, makes the plastic more flexible by adding water content to the plastic. Bend rather than break.

That's the same recipe for the perfect boiled hot dog, by the way. In fact, you could soften the wing and fix dinner at the same time.
Think about it.

Where as boiling the plastic makes it much more flexible and helps it retain its memory better after being bent.
