I heard the same thing when i was a kid or say 16 , people at my lhs use to tell me the same ! they use to also dye them that way . No matter what anything will break if it ran into anything to hard !

It doesn't make the stronger, but it's supposed to make them more flexible. Don't know if it's true or not. I've boiled tires with the rims just to get the tires off and my rims are less prone to breakage after boiling them.

What vehicle? Maybe RPM sells what you need for it.

Don't know about boiling A-arms, but I boil my wing on my buggy. It does make it more flexable so it doesn't snap as easy, but the flexability only last a little while.

That's definately wierd. I generally use rit dye on any odd colored rims I have before glueing the tires on which involves boiling the rims to get the color to permiate the plastic and I have yet to have a rim break on any RC I have ever owned.

I've heard of boiling graphite parts to make them more flexible,I don't know if the same applies to plastic/nylon parts.
