That said, ok I only race sedan electric 1/10th with a tamiya ta05 (never wheeled or wrenched a nitro car of any description) and some cars seem to work better or have no change the them with wear to the arms.

I think to some degree, Tamiya cars (and these may not be the only ones) do not suffer from poor handling when arms and other suspension parts wear, I havn't noticed it on mine and its 2 seasons old
there is definitely some truth to that ...you dont want it to tight ...but like if the steering rack and or front end is loose it will cause some handling probs ....the rear end not som much ...one thing that wil really help is to shim the wheel hexes ....if you have everything tight and the wheels wobble then shim em up ....helps out alot on stability .....
