Arms are only about US$7 from rc mushroom - a good source of spares if you're running the original E4.
My car has only done 2 meetings, but I had 3 absolutely huge crashes the last time I raced it - and no damage at all
but since I broke that first one its like a dam has burst
I know what you mean - I had the same problem with my Evo 5 - took forever to strip the front diff gear, but after the first one, I did another 3 in about 10 runs
