Ewww, not recommended. :eek:

Composites are general more resistant to dynamic impact loads than metals. In this case, the arm would bend and bend back before it breaks whereas the aluminum will just bend and retain it's shape and if you don't notice it, that's another problem on it's own...

Get the version 2 arms which claim to be stronger than the original with an extra shock mounting hole. And along with that, get the RPM wide front bumper for the TC3. For the rear arms, install a set of BRP nerf wings.

Other than that, take it slow and avoid the boards.

Royat4, do you have the RPM wide front bumper or Bud's side nerf wings on your car? It's not a guarantee, but those 2 things might at least help reduce the number of broken suspension arms(though most important is just learning to stay off the boards, as the others said, even if it means going pretty slow for awhile)......:cool:
