You think superglue will fix this this?? Haha! Kidding. Lasernut never fails without a breakage

This just might. It's not instant like it says. But it's definitely the strongest glue I've used over the yrs for sure.. I would pick up a bottle of this instead of super glue.. for anything RC related👍

I've yet to known an adhesive that bonds plastic well. That's because plastic comes in many different formulas/molecular structuring. There are actually mechanical plastic welding devices available, but even then, you would have to know and use the proper plastic type.
An A-arm is such a high stressed part that once it's broken, it just needs to be replaced.
 
I’ve fixed many broken parts with a soldering iron and pins. A arm I wouldn’t even attempt unless it’s a shelf queen.

Rule of thumb. If the parts flexes the adhesive should too.
 
I’m thinking it may be a shelf queen after all the parts I’ve broken on it.

I'm telling you bud..I've used that
3m plastic weld on everything plastic. Haven't found one that it hasn't worked on. From Tamiya blackfoot body to PLA 1.75 filament. Hope you can watch video..
The filament was only a drop. And layed one on the other. And went to work. Sat all day. Never came apart

I've never heard of that stuff, much less used it, but I'm not doubting you that it works on certain applications. However, I'm 99.99999% confident that it will not hold up to the rigors and abuse an A-arm has to endure.
