I only clipped the wall, honest[:I]

Anyone got some spare front arms[?]

[Sonic]

Your lucky it only damaged the arm and not the chassis.[xx(]

[SGNAS]

Honest, it was only the mearest "clip". The grey arms just expolded. It was a reasonable distance away, when I saw it on 3 wheels I thought the knuckle had torn from the chassis.

This was only minutes after having it on it's roof after a big bounce from the rear suspension.

Lesson learnt:- Don't chase the dog with the valuble stuff.

I should stick to the "tough" TA01/2s

Yep, I don't know what it is about that Gray plastic. But I can remember the same thing happening to me. In fact just recently I bought some Gray plastic suspension parts for my Holiday Buggy and they where very brittle.

You should really consider yourself lucky. Especially around the area that holds the front springs. It doesn't take much to break those.

I think the grey plastics on the Holiday Buggy and Sand Rover maybe breaking down, I have some that are really brittle yet some that are quite flexible. These parts have been lying around for 20 years in all sorts of conditions, the ones stored in less than ideal locations have obviously suffered.

Even new in packet parts can suffer.
