[02 sport]

i am looking for alum suspension arms for my hpi mt2 i am having a hell of a time i went to hobbytown around my area and they had nothing the didnt even have the plastic arms for it but another local hobby store debbies rc world did have them i would rather get the alum ones since my whole truck is alum and i had alum arms on it til i hit a curb yest and broke it lol ya i hit it goin full throttle but hey it coulda been worse i guess all i got was a broken arm and also it broke the thing that they mount to I'm not sure what that is called if someone knows that would be nice to know also but any help would be great thanks the part number to the plastic ones were hpia456 thats all i found i hope they are the right ones also as hobbytown tried to give me hpi85074 and they were def way to long saw them in person wont work and guy got an atti and he said o thats what it says in the book i know its right blah blah blah so needless to say i will not buy anything from them ever again unless I'm in dyer need of some fuel and they are the only ones open but i will plan accordingly lol


i have checked a main and tower hobbies also but didnt find any i just searched mt on both websites


o and by the way debbiesrcworld.com is pretty decent it is a local hobby store in this area but they ship out and really nice people over there just sayin lol

Dude, your posts are ridiculous. If you don't care enough to make your questions readable, your not going to get any help.

It's not the content or your questions, IT"S YOUR LACK OF CAPITOLS AND PUNCTUATION. It's hard to understand one, long run on sentence. Show a slight amount of effort and you may get some back. Did you check ebay? See what you can find and throw up some links. Though nobody's going to recommend aluminum arms. Stay away from integy parts. You'd be much better off going with some RPM arms(if they make them for your rig) or running stockers. Use the arms for a "fuse". A weak spot that's easy and cheap to fix.

Haha sorry about that. Its just the way i type i guess. I usually just use the comp for chatting thats probly why i dont use punctuations... But anyway i have heard that before but when i talked to the guy at my lhs he said that the plastic hubs will brace the impact and break.but i guess that dont happen when the arm hits straight on tho. Would u recommend changing the rear arms to plastic also???

I chat on the computer all the time. It's what we're doing now. Type like you go to school once or twice a week. We always recommend plastic arms. Rpm when available. As I stated, they will give and not rip the bulk heads off of the truck in a bad crash. They're cheap and easy to replace if you do break one.

I have heard all bad from aluminum, especially for bashing so I would go RPM if they make them

Haha thanks for bringing atleast a laugh to my life today lol...Even if it was by putting me on blast...But thanks i will check rpm i have been looking for rpm ones too at tower and a main and other websites havent seen them.Def will use plastic tho if everyone recommends that and they are only 5 bucks.Should i change out the rear also??? The ones i have been seeing come w one front and one rear so i will have to buy the rear any way but i dont really see them breaking i guess.Wish i could find some in purple since my whole car is purple it would look funny having black arms i would think.

It's your choice to run aluminum or not. So long as you know what the consequences could be. Sounds like you found out already. Check Rpm's website. Seems to me that this question has came up recently, and Rpm unfortunately didn't make arms for your particular rig. Don't quote me though. Check out your options.
