Kevin Knuth has posted some nice, TECHNIC equilateral triangles of various sizes. His triangles are for a drive system; however, clever folks can find other uses for them as well.
Several of the triangles shown have lists of parts and building instructions

Triangles built in this way are put under a bit of extra load. Is any one worried that the connectors will be under enough stress to cause them to break?
You're correct, this isn't a "perfect" LEGO construction... but try it, it's very close. The slight stress on the pins or beams isn't enough to come close to breaking them, although for some arrangements the long-term stresses might very subtly warp the beams. Still, not something I'd worry about... and I generally try for "perfect" geometry.
