I have decided I need some solid upper suspension arms for the REAR of the 5B.
I dont think you need camber adjustment on the rear as a basher, and the adjustable rear arms seem to be a weak point.
I have looked and found countless brands of alloy adjustables, but I REALLY want some solids.
Does anyone know if anyone makes or sells them?
 
Have you actually broke one?

I have beat the poop out of my 5B and have yet to break any arms. This includes end over ends, cart wheels and barrel rolls for hundreds of feet on asphalt. My weak spot seems to be the front shock tower uprights. I have destroyed 2 of them.
 
Its not breaking the arms, its bending the threaded adjustment bar. Having said that I am still running plastic arms all 'round, so maybe when I put alloy bottom arms on my problem may be null and void.....
We'll see. (I still think they have a place in bashing though)
 
Thanks. I must have passed straight by those. They will do the trick I'm sure and, as you pointed out. If you bend them (my problem exactly) we'll replace them....
