I posted this here recently:

Sorry I couldn't be more help with the pivot block... I spent an hour googling for it and I only found a few at a few places that I never shopped at.

Dynamite used to make a full aluminum setup for the xxx-nt. Trinity made a few parts for it as well, but the only ones I found were trinity and they were on order and not in stock.

Get a few spares of the stock one at least. The graphite one isn't any stronger.

This is one of the ones I found that had it: http://www.thercshack.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=222
I've never bought anything there though. I'd call before you buy.

The thread: https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49696

The graphite isn't much (if any) better than stock. I broke just as many of both when I had a xxxnt 6 or 7 years ago.
 
Are you sure your not thinking carbon fiber?

For the pivot block, there is very little material keeping it together. Graphite or stock composite break about the same.
