I'm worried about bending also but should still be less than what I'm breaking... however will this make me break more arms? I rarely break arms. Noooo....... I break the expensive C Hubs which are twice the price of the arms and knuckles my LHS.

Which brings me to my pet peeve.... Anyone else hate the packaging of the HPI parts?! GAWD... one front one rear arm... one front knuckle one rear hub carrier!! I never ever break a rear arm or carrier! They should have a trade in policy... I could trade in my rear arms and hub carriers for fronts and wouldn't have to buy any more for a year or more!! Then they could just repackage and resell them. Yeah I like that idea!! HPI - Hot Bodies ... you listening?

Being in IOWA I get bombed with politicians wanting me to caucus for them on Jan 3rd. Maybe I'll go and see if any candidate will put this into some trade agreement plan? Hmmmmmmmmm Maybe not ... congress would screw it all up and I'd get no parts at all!

Yeah I got a Hara. I drove the Icean's Cyclone at a race in Jackson and I really liked it. Plus several of us have them now so hopefully we can get a good set-up for the nats.

even tho parts on this car a bit weak, the car does handle absolutely amazing with rubber tires. this past sunday at a club race i was able to take the 19t foam B main with rubber tires and a stock motor, car was dialed.

you will have to use xrays tophats on the casters thats the only thing i wasnt too fond of but w/e. and a diff is a must have it calms the car down so much, b/c it has a ton of steering to begin with. and i may be taking out the center one way to get some braking in the front end, my setup now is almost stock except for removing rear sway, diff up front, and changed droop. so basically wat im tryin to say is i love the car, lol.
