But then another racer said that they had bulked up the ends with more metal. I then went back to the store and we compared the parts and found the new one (and they gladly switched it out). Just wanted others to know that TLR has done this, but your hobby store maybe carrying both parts (but with the same stock number)....
Ahh yes, the elusive new part with the same part number. Oh well. I expressed my frustration about this before, but it doesn't matter...
This buggy is solid. Haven't broken anything. Quite a few of these at our track, and only seen an a-arm or two break. Open practice on race day, seen some brutal hits.
Definitely haven't seen TLR234057 break.
