Yes. Better than a DNF because of a shattered/broken arm like the Mugen's, Losi's like to do.. Right?

I always inspect my arms every few races. Take new arms and boil them in water for about 10-20 minutes. It re-softens the composite and ultimately re-tempers the molding-itself.

Equals = more durability out of the arms, plus a little more 'spring' when they endure a bump or a hit, so they don't warp as easily, and are still less prone to breaking.
