I doubt graphite would be worse than the rtr plastic parts, they break pretty easily. Compared to the kit plastic parts, then it might be a close comparison. I have yet to break a graphite arm though, although I havnt hit and light posts or parked cars with the graphite yet...

i looked at the plastic ones (10$) and i looked at the graphite ones (18$) but is there any other options? Does RPM make any front or rear A-arms? Thanks for the suggestions. Keep' em comin!

Im not sure of anything other than aluminum aftermarket a-arms, but then again I have never shopped around. I just get the team losi parts that my hobby shop stocks.

If you're bashing, buying parts in anything than plastic isn't a great idea.

At least the stock plastic parts have some flex to them. Aluminum will just break in two. If it doesn't break, once it's bent it gets weaker. not to mention it's a lot cheaper to replace a busted $5 a-arm than a $30 one....

For the most, stick with plastic.
