aluminum will bend, get the new proline ones . I like the Carbon arms, I have not broken any of those yet.

I pretty much have replaced all the stock pc's now with the carbon pc's on my sc10.:thumbup1:

Yeah, the SC10 isn't necessarily known as the most durable vehicle. Mine has held up pretty well, but RPM is always a good choice, like mentioned above! Avoid aluminum. Sure, it does hold up... that's good, but then it stresses something, somewhere else.

You will come to find rpm is your friend. They use some of the best plastic on the market and are virtually indestructable!!!

I agree RPM the both front and rear arms and also the bummer and skip plate!!!!

Sounds good, looks like I'm gradually going to upgrade all the rpm parts I can. Thanks for the tips

It was a glitch in the transmission or diffs what you need are extra shims or you dog bones are coming out.
