Ok guys do you think this is a good hop to do the complete A-Arm swap to these?

All I do is bash, no racing at this point....



I got a couple hundred bucks buring a hole in me, maybe buying all of these plus some new wheels and tires

OR

Picking up a Jato
 
the rpm arms are super tough, but i havent heard of alot of people breaking the stock arms.
 
Hey I didnt make it out there last weekend because my pivot balls kept coming out, got RPM's on order now
 
were planning a big bash the weekend after easter, get your stuff fixed up and get ready!! ill start a formal thread later
 
RPM arms, whether you race or bash, are the only way to go! Lifetime warranty, you can't beat it. Though you'll probably never have to exercise that warranty. Also I might add, throw the RPM axle carriers on there as well, it will take care of your pivot ball issue, plus they have a beefier outer bearing.
 
Yeah... I'm with MW. Get an extra OWB off ebay.

I'd go with RPM arms and carriers. I've broken an RPM arm, so they can be broke. Then I made the idiot move of sending an email to RPM telling them how it was broken... I'll wait a while before sending it in. I just bought a replacment to get me by.

I busted my upper front left arm. I'm not 100% certain how, but I did.

The stock axle carriers are a vast improvement over the maxx, but they wear out pretty quickly. My revo only has about 1.5-2 gallons run through it and I already had 2 axles worth of bearings getting all wobbly on me. I replaced all 4 with RPM. The bearings are much bigger. Should hold up longer.
 
THANKS for the replys!!!!

I picked up a Jato and axle carriers last night from tower hobbies since they were having 30 bucks off and I get free shipping.

MW thanks for the heads up, I have 2 new HPI OWB's sitting in my box right now!
