ABOUT THE TC3:
I have never had the cronic arm snapping that is described here. Hang back up i did when the car was new and i had not installed a buds bumper and now the much better RPM bumper. Why cars today ship out the door with out a proper width bumper i dont know! (actually its so they can sell spares)
Since i installed real bumper i rarely break front end parts. Sure the odd arm breaks but i have never been so fustrated with breakage that i would just dump the car. Once i switched to LOSI hubs last fall all that i have replaced on my car was 1 front a-arm and 2 rear arms. Thats a full 20 odd race days on a indoor carpet track with 19 motors..
Run any car out of the box and i think they will break, in cluding my new yok SD. I installed a buds bumper on it for my second outing. Im sure i wont break as easily now
