New A-arms....

[benjman420]

I'm trying to decide if I should buy the flextek titanium arm kit http://www.rcplanet.com/Flextek_Comp_Titanium_Suspension_Arm_p/fxt10001.htm
or if I should get the RPM a-arms and use the money I would save on other parts.

The RPM Arms are truly amazing. I don't have the flextek arms, and I probably never will. I could buy them if I wanted to, but the RPM works so well I wouldn't spend money on anything else. The only sluminum I would ever reccomend is Golden Horizon because they replace the part if it ever gets broken or bent, but I only run RPM.

Buy yourself 5 or six pair of RPM arms. They are guaranteed for life and you'll still have backups to use while you wait for RPM to replace the broken parts (if you happend to break one). You've now spent less than 1/3 the $$ and received extreme durability and near ZERO DOWNTIME.

Thats amazing.

So RPM it is, thanks all. The only other thing is, what about this RPM setup for the rear a-arms?http://www.rcplanet.com/RPM_T_E_Maxx_True_Track_Rear_A_arm_p/rpm80942.htm

I'm sure that's a nice setup if you want to eliminate rear tie rods.. no adjusting toe.

 

[benjman420]

So the only reason to get those is if I didn't want to adjust the toe-in?

 

[Lessen]

basically, yes.

So today I glued together my broken a-arm with some superglue. When I ran later in the day I figured the arm would be the first thing to break seeing as how it has a weak point. But i'll be damned, it held together and the front bulkhead broke instead. Go figure.
