Front Arms, B74.1
I broke the kit OEM ones, I got replacement arms, I broke about 3 of those arms, which I relized are the carbon upgrade.
The OEM replacements are less flexible and more durable?
The Carbon upgrade arms are lighter but more brittle?
Pros vs Cons of each?
Which one will be more durable for me?
I only broke the stock OEM kit ones as I ran into the pole. I broke multiple carbon ones with landing wrong mostly.
And its always the front, never had any issues with the rear. Maybe its just my driving.
Me and @Greywolf74 was talking about shock towers too.
Currently have an aluminum one on for durability as I was breaking the CF towers way back when. Should I go back to the CF towers or stay with aluminum until I improve?
Also, I lost one of the front sway bar mount screws, the screw goes into the gear box, which I think the threads are stripped out. Was going to get a pack of those screws and just use some glue to hold it in, but I found the same kind of screw but bigger (2.0mm instead of 1.5mm hex cap head) and it holds in perfectly.
