Yeah, new arms are much better. I broke 4 or 5 of the originals, but none of the new ones. Not a fan of the hard arms.

The only reason I use Hard Arms is because the Sway Bar mounting balls constantly break off the regular ones

The arm breakage is there. No poor build or any other finger pointing back to the driver. The HB and Losi didn't break in the same race conditions. I've been racing long enough to know an issue when I see one and a couple of local team driver's experiencing the same.

I've broken the hard and the kit arms in the front only. The buggy is amazing though. Just looking to finish some of the races I had breakages in.

What is best for you depends on how you plan to use your car. I'll just list what I'm running: Tekin RSX and 6.5 turn Gen3 motor.

I like the 13.5 class. I just enjoy less motor on clay/dirt. #stock4life

Any noticeable handling issues as a result? Might have to try this. Both front and rear?

Not sure on handling affects. Haven't done the mod myself, since I've had good luck with the stock arms so far.

Shouldn't feel any different on power or coasting, but when you hit the brakes it might bind up a tad since the load on the arm will be squishing the o-ring instead of the plastic spacer. Shouldn't be noticeable to anyone but a pro, I'd imagine. I would just try it on the front arms.

I have run Reedy, Hobbywing Tekin and Orion.
Reedy works great no issues when I had all Reedy. If you do have a issue Reedy does have top notch customer service. You can find a lot of setups for Reedy stuff as well as several AE drivers use reedy stuff. Reedy still uses the program box to program the esc which is fine and serves its purpose but I prefer the software layout and user friendly phone apps to program my esc.

Hobbywing has some neat features, can use the phone app to program esc which is nice. Don't care for their motors much they seem to be a few years behind the curve on their motors. Customer service is difficult to contact, however you can get questions answered pretty well on here. Not much out there for setup support.

Tekin has great customer service lots of help from team drivers and Randy Pike who runs the team is one of the great guys in rc. Randy will bend over backwards to get you pointed in the right direction. The phone app is really nice and the data logger provides more information than anything else on the market. The only thing i dislike about Tekin is their esc switch. I prefer the switch built into the esc. Switch is minor though. Tekin is easy to solder new wires with the solder posts. Tekin Gen3 motors are nice, have had good luck with them. Their new Spec R stock motors in my opinion are top notch. I race a lot of stock and was having issues keeping up with other brands out there until i upgraded to the new Spec R motors.

Orion has nice stuff esc's are smooth and well built. The new stuff coming out from them HMX esc's are super expensive when compared to the rest of the market. I have never used the HMX and never will because its hard to justify almost a 400.00 esc for a 10th scale car. I have never had any luck with their motors. Mine have all run hot and slow no matter how i tried to gear them. I have seen at least 3 of my friends use their motors and not like them either. Customer service goes through Horizon Hobby..... good luck getting any response from them.

All four esc's i mention have great tuning options and in my opinion equal on how they respond and feel. I used to think Tekin was not as smooth but their last few updates have put them right on par with everyone else.

From my experience would rate Tekin first followed by Reedy, Hobbywing and then Orion.

Reading the post, does this car needs so many upgrades and/or modifications in order for it to perform right? I don't get it.

Not that I am aware of. I will race one in the near future in 13.5 medium to high bite dirt. The only thing that I will add is the machined shock internals and the aluminum steering rack.
