Been driving Yokomo buggies for years, never had any arm (or anything else made of plastic) warp...

I have a CAL3.1, pretty sure the arms are not warped. Maybe they were left in a hot car?

I've got some JRX2 front arms that look like bananas.

only a-arms I recal warping from a variety of vehicle I had was the stock units from the Team Associated SC104x4. What as funny at the time was we would end up using RPM a-arms for the truck as they were actually stiffer.

Outside of that from the variety of vehicles I have had, can't really think of any others.
