hi guys/gals i am very concerned here. i have a bunch of rc10t2 that i want to run as racers in the future (maybe 5-7+ years from now). the parts are the rear bulkhead, rear tower, a-arms, whether they be carbon composite, fiberglass or woven graphite will they become brittle???

my plan is to run rc10t2, rc10gt exclusively as my weopon of choice .
any advice/input appreciated!!!

pics to make thread worth viewing... some of my BASHER...jk :)

My RC10T2 is something like 12 years old I got it new and I still run it today. It has had plenty of abuse on the track and has never broken anything other than the servo arm on the servo saver. So I don't think the bits get brittle..

The materials associated used on thier cars is very good. you rarely see a broken part. now if you were talking about a vintage Tamiya, I would say skip running it.
