yeah, I'm sure it wouldn't have sheared off either.
People think those aluminum parts make things stronger, whereas it just makes something else on the car more susceptible to breaking as mentioned above.
That's why I thought I would start the thread, to bring out some of parts that are supposed to giveaway when hitting something to save the more vital parts. Like the arms, if they didn't break, then you would end up tweaking the chassis of something else. Arms back then were readily available and quick to change.
I'm guessing by the first couple of replies, that we wont here much more than the arms breaking. This is also what I have experienced too with all my older stuff that has proper periods electronics and after market parts. Oh and I too had a cracked front shock tower after the RC10 hit a brick wall at full tilt
And yes B4, were to begin
