boiling plastic parts

[rs43drifter]

I've read somewhere that you can boil a-arms to icrease flexability is this true or not???

Are we talkin stock arms? RPM stuff? It probably does a little... till it get's cool again. But I'm no scientist.

I have read the samething, boiling them for like 2 hours adds moisture making them more flexible. When Duratrax first released the Evaders they put out a bulletin or something that people needed to boil the nylon parts.

I read in one of the latest rc magazines,(i forgot which one it was) that it was a good idea to boil plastics. They even went in detail on how to go about it.
