We used to boil the AE parts years ago. Some folks still boil parts. The boiling actually make the plastic less rigid flexing some rather than breaking. Not alot is needed, about 5-7 minutes should do it. Sometimes we boiled longer because RIT dye was added as a coloring agent. Hope this helps.

Thanks I’ll give it a try when my new front wing comes in

Russell, bring a pot of water to a boil then drop the wing in the pot. Leave it in there for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes are up, remove the boiling water pot from the eye on your cooktop, do not remove the wing from the water. Allow the water to cool down to room temperature naturally, leave the part submerged in the water until the water has naturally cooled down. This is the process John and I have been using and as you see every week I can drive my car into a brick wall and the wing won't break. Easiest way to let it cool down is do this process before bed, just make sure you're awake enough to remove the boiling water from the cooktop. While you're sleeping, let the part cool down, and in the morning you will have a cool pot of water to handle.

This process is called plastic annealing, essentially you are warming up the oils in the part and allowing the brittle exterior to soften up some. With the cooling method I have described above, it allows the part to equally harden back up and not have a brittle and crispy exterior layer of plastic. Instead, the part will be equally soft/rigid and flex more when hitting an object instead of just snapping and breaking.

Fastest Motors on our track are currently the surpass V6 even the sponsor drivers are running them without saying they're running them which in my opinion is hilarious nothing else can touch them and that factory makes a lot of the motors already mentioned here in this thread
