I recall amongst the many pages of this thread Shaun mention his issues with warping arms on his truck. I always store my trucks on a stand not just to avoid any issues with the arms but to avoid flat spotting the foams in the tires (if I leave them on).

A few weeks ago I bent a right front CV during a race. I figured it was caused by the fact that I don't run the shock shaft boots and needed to run more shims on the shaft to prevent the CVs moving too far up and hitting the outdrives. I installed another 2mm shim for a total of 4mm plus the rubber bumper. I replaced the CV and moved the arm up through the stroke to make sure it was not hitting the outdrive. Last week after a race night I inspected the truck and sure enough, the same right front CV was bent again.
Checked the other CVs and they were fine. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the right front arm is totally tweeked. Not so much on the front side but you can really see it on the back side. Not just a little but quite a bit. This truck is only 1.5 months old and only raced/practiced twice a week. This should not be happending.
