Yes and know, depends on the quality of the CF.

Good quality CF will take more abuse then any plastic part, the main advantage of CF is that it will not bend it has only 1 breaking point and that is the actual break point.

So in theory Good Quality CF should remain stiff and straight while other plastic peices bend.

Whether thats a good thing, I dunno it put more stress on other plastic parts.

Sorry didnt realize your from Kentucky. Forget what I said as I just wasted my breath.

Carbon arms are stock on the Factory Team kit FYI. The carbon arms are more precise and dont flex unlike the RPM arms. The RPM stuff is designed for the basher and flex quite a bit and do not hold a setup well. Also the RPM arms do not allow for the intallation of a sway bar unless you drill your own holes.

I only use the FT Carbon arms. They can break if you drive a little stupid. I prefer the stiff performance of the Carbon arms.

When did you get a SC10 Factory Team kit with carbon arms? I buy a new kit every year or so just before Az State Championships and SRS Cactus Classic. I have never gotten an SC10 Factory Team that came with carbon anything.
Btw, the carbon arms vs stock arms are only a tuning option and not meant to be a durability upgrade and were never meant to be.

I lol'd. That was awesome.

I broke one RF a arm in a year. Somebody decided it would be a good idea to get a broom out and help out the sweeper right before I got there. It wasn't fun, but it was funny.

I plan on getting rid of my RPM bumper too, but I don't care for the T-Bone one even more. Im going to run stock .

Apparently the new SC10's are stronger in this area and the RPM bumper is no longer necessary.



.... So I have heard.

I agree the Kentucky joke was a good one.

I am on the same page as nismomike though, when did you get a FT kit with carbon arms? It doesn't list it in the description and in the picture of the front suspension it doesn't look carbon either.

Also the guy said he was wanting more durability, not for his truck to handle better, so I gave him my opinion on what I thought added durability.

When I first started running my SC10, I put RPM arms, bumper/skid, and ball cups on it. Mostly because I sucked at landing the downside. Sucked at landing all together. Heard the rumors about the broken chassis. Saw pictures of them broken. So I just ran RPM. About a year and a half later I decided it was time to run the stock parts. The RPM bumper bottoms out more and I hated the look. Well, since switching back to stock 6 months ago I broke my first arm last night. I believe I stress fractured it at Cactus Classic and I finally finished it off. Anyone who saw the front quad at Cactus knows what I'm talkin about and I'm not suprised. The stock parts are better than fine if you can drive decent. I still use the RPM ball cups and they ARE better than stock. I'm happier with my sc with the stock parts.

Does anyone have the part # for the carbon arms?

Here is the link to the front arms.

I think you might be right, bought my SC10 FT about a year ago and never had a problem with the bumper. I bought the RPM as a backup and switced it out anyway, figure it would help keeping the body from flexing and cracking in the front when a wall jumps out in front of me.

Bought the RPM heavy duty cups 3 years ago for my TC5 before I realized they were too thick and binding the steering. Saved them and was finally able to utilize them on another vehicle and they work great.

Don't forget the link to the shock towers.

I had some old rc10 stadium trucks and buggies sitting around. so I drilled a hole next to the reciever in my sc10 to accommodate their old antenna mounts and eliminate the bulky box. I would recommend tapering the hole in the bottom so it doesn't catch dirt.

Love my sc10!!

Does the antenna mast really have to be used? I just kind of coil (not tightly) my receiver antenna wire and lay it next to the receiver. I have never had a problem.
