Flextek Savage X arms/something similar

[Redcat man]

I am looking for something along the design of the Flextek Arms. Does anyone know of anything out there?

The best aftermarket arms are the ones made by RPM, IMO. They're available at most reputable retailers. Here's a link to their Savage X arms page:

I have those on my rig now. i was looking to put some shocks on from the Baja 5b but i dont think they will work with the RPM arms.

I have never seen a Savage arm anything like a Flextech arm. They are also the only ones that I have seen use titanium. You can get on the waiting list at Flextech's website, it's taken a couple of years but they have about 60 people interested in the required 100 orders they require to make them again....And only $300.00 per set!

I have never thought of the arms of a Savage as a weak link, so unless you're going for the bling factor, I would say have an extra set of stock arms in your box and spend the cash on something else.

FlexTek and the FLM arms are not the same.
FlexTek arms are designed to take a beating and "flex" while returning to their original shape. The FLM arms, while tough, will bend. especially that upper arm.



For my money RPM is the only way to go. On all of my trucks, if RPM makes it, its getting installed.

I know they are not the same. As stated...I already have RPM arms on my rig. They WILL NOT work for what I want to do. Thank you for commenting though.

Alternately if it's just a large shock that your after you could go this route also:

The above parts will use stock a-arms and towers.
