Mine are more pliable than the factory stuff. If yours are bending too much I don't know. Some of the bend keeps them from breaking on impact so easily but they should return to normal shape after being bent.

RPM arms are very soft as well, like said before it is one benefit to keep them from breaking- but on a good race track my car is way faster with stock arms

I am nowhere near that good of driver that I would notice any speed difference with my arms. I am just happy I don't break my RPM ones. It is like my golf game. Everyone tells me to get new clubs and I say "trust me, it is not the clubs". :lol:

On the red clay track that we were running the slicks on I was 2 sec per lap faster with the stock rc10 arms, the RPM deflected soooo much that I could see caster and camber changes from corner entry/ mid corner and exit. I actually threw them away after that!

I would believe it. I was just saying that I would never notice. Our local track is just dirt and not very fast. I just use RPM arms on my brushless T4 on the dirt tracks at my house. The durability has been a god send. I have not broken one all summer compared to probably 10 last year. It could also be that my son has learned to keep going counter-clockwise more this year and doesn't run head on to me as much.

I know this is the buggy forum, but since it was brought up... is the same true with the RPM truck arms?

. Even more so, I watched my 10t arms deflect +/- 10-15 deg on the track

That's what you get for running those silly looking things with the cartoon-esque front wheels & tires :P
