B3 help, or maybe it's a B2, but guy in store said B3 lol

Well, I'm kinda bummed out, I took out my RC10, bought some new NiMH hump packs, a new charger and off I went.
Now, I was told by the local hobby guy that my car will be incredibly difficult to get parts for and I believe him.
It's a B3 (maybe B2) i don't know the difference really, how can I tell?
Anyways, the other day I was taking it for a light spin across the parking lot and front left wheel collapsed.
Now I'm assuming the part is called a "knuckle", I'll post a picture, since I need help finding the right piece.
If it is the knuckle, I found this place and hope this is the right part for it.
Also, I need a new front shock tower as mine cracked on the left side.
Any suggestions?
Last and most importantly, is it worth buying these parts and replacing them?
I mean if other things start to go, it's like in real life (reality), cars are the worst investment and I don't want to keep pumping money into it if I can avoid it.
I simply want a car I can boot around with, not competitively (yet, maybe one day, dunno), but for know, something to kick around and have fun with.
However, what vehicle from associated would take a hump pack? I was looking at the B4.2 but it looks like a flat pack, saddle type set up.
Help and/or suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Would this be the right thing to order for the knuckle?

And this for the front shock tower?
