You're right sorry I was thinking of the grassy venue where they brought out the original prototype from the peterson, I just looked up the electrified cars + coffee.
Just making the point that the evidence is pointing to the original post not actually showing a bent control arm due to off-road use. This is a newer rc unit — I am not saying the upper control arm isn’t light duty just that the original premise was probably wrong!
Latest image of the new matte black RC upper control arm, same “bent” look. It may be a lighter duty control arm but this whole discussion is probably a nothing burger.
