Questions?? What does the reference Cold Temp mean for RC Parts

Hi Guys

This might sound dumb but was this parts listing mean.


PD1130 LOWER SUSPENSION ARM SET

PD1205 LOWER SUSPENSION ARM SET,
COLD TEMP

These are the same items in the packets are far as I can tell.

Can someone please explain so I don't order the wrong thing.

I might be wrong , but I would say the cold temp would be a different plastic blend for colder weather (they won't snap as easy when weather is super cold)The others would be a plastic blend for normal weather. It would help if you would tell us all here what kind of car or truck it is.Somebody here will most likely have the same one .

Sorry about that I didn't think it mattered.

The parts are for A Thunder Tiger EB4 S2 Pro V2 front end.

I come from the Land Down Under if that helps to.

what its for nor where you live is related to what that means....the cold aspect of it just lets the plastic bend more when its cold. when in hot weather the plastic will bend easier then when its cold..... look at chewing gum.........when you take a swig of a nice cold drink...your gum gets hard... same idea

I think a good example is XRAY they have a soft medium and hard plastic.
Same difference. Losi RTR has a soft plastic. Thats why they are so tuff.

The losi RTR plastic arms you can almost twist them 90%.
Flexible is good.

Ok most of you agree that the plastic is made different to suit cold tempters.

I would agree this would be the logical conclusion.

But I am still not straight on this matter why doesn't the part have a tempter ratting then. (e.g. suited for 10 degrees and below).

Who knows? I would say if its pertinent to your application your using it, the manufacturer would be the only one to know that info.
