Tc3 Rear Arms

[Chris Bamber]

does anybody find that the tc3's rear arms aren't very strong. my factory team tc3 has broke 3 rear left arms in 3 race meetings and all from only the slightest of knocks!!

Graphite ::) Get the standard ones, they're alot stronger.

[Chris Bamber]

never thought of that thanks!!

I would go for the standard ones. I broke a few in my early days of racing, due to my inability to turn a corner and found that the standard ones were cheaper and definetly stronger.

I have also added some Nerf wings to my car to prevent damage to the rear arms. I don't know if my driving has improved or the Nerf wings are working but I haven't broken a rear arm for a while (touches wood)

[nicholas mitchell]

yup, use the standard arms. i generally find they are very strong. but sometimes they crack but dont completely break. so keep an eye on them lol

I've not had a problem with the graphite arms, I always found the hubs were a bit brittle. It's usally a hub that goes for me instead of the wishbone.
