From personal experience, the Tamiya ones don't seem to. I hold every crash record at the Tamiya USA track. The altitude and distance records are mine as well as the number of rolls, both vertical and lateral. I do believe tho that David Bird has me on style points. Besides,we're talking rear hubs here, so you generally don't hit much with the rear of the car.

Some of the early # Racing stuff used to bend easily, but that was the "blingy" blue suspension arms they made.
