This is a dupe from the M05 Pro thread. Saw that old thread before this one...
Hey Gang,
I just chewed up another gear in the mini, the plastic gear that the pinion rides on. Today in my M05, last weekend in the kid's M03. Both gears are the same pattern... half the width of the teeth are gone on the side closest to the motor. I verified pinion alignment in both cars after the M03 incident last week, yet had the same problem in my M05. Both time the motor screws were still tight. Same exact problem in two different cars. What am I missing here?

I can't for the life of me work out why anyone would need replacement arms for an M05? I've never seen an m chassis lower arm break - ever!

I had some of the blade racing arms. Don't if they did any good besides making people scrutinize my car closely. They looked flash, too.

Okay, I can agree Tamiya arms really don't break. I have only broken the shock mount on a Tamiya arm. This set comes with 2 spares shock mounts. I also will say it first THESE ARE NOT TCS LEGAL.
Oh well, plenty of you guys run 3Racing etc.. I love competition and personalization in this hobby. These arms look SWEET!!!

Anybody has a steering setup here for tight track. thanks

As long as they dont change any geometry, they have no performance advantage and its more bling factor which can be alot of fun to play with. I have a few pimped out cars, alot of blue bling, but none of them have any advantage over a totally stock black plastic mini, which ive proven lol.
