i use 415 for 1yr + to race mod and experienced front knuckle break or susp mount bent, but no arm breakage.
similar with TA05 for 4 years
It happened when I ram the right side of the wheel. The arm did break, the steering linkage bend & the knuckle came out. I lose the flanged tube, shims & the screws..
If Tamiya would have rubber bumper in replacement to original foam bumper. Most likely my car would be safe. Not forgetting the hardened material for TAM51253 in support of the bumper.
