Off all the parts to break...
Spent some time at the track today. I was going down the front stretch when all of a sudden my car quit moving. I must have broken my rear arm mount on one of the jumps.
Now the search begins for a replacement.

Re: Off all the parts to break...
Could it be possible to break this part by not having enough slip in the clutch? Or maybe it was my bad driving 

Re: Off all the parts to break...
Did the mount break? or did it shear the screw head off? The slipper clutch shouldn't cause that to break, more likely a sidways landing or a hard wall shot.
I'm more and more suprised at how durable RC10's are everytime I run mine, I put my Team Car through hell and the only part I've been able to break were shock ends on the front.

I have to agree the RC-10 can take a beating.
The mount broke and I lost the screw.
Thanks to LTO_Dave, I should have my buggy back together soon.

amen--
I had mine run over by a car once-- all that broke was the rear shock tower & one shock shaft-- it was amazing! The ABS Sand Scorcher body was totally destroyed-- shattered into a pile of plastic.

Re: Off all the parts to break...
I have broken 2 left side ones in the last year! Boil them (or any other nylon parts) in water for a good 20 minutes and the will be much stronger!
