Yup.... I was watching (and laughing) at the other guys E-maxx, and when it landed on its hood, and i heard a "THUNK" and I looked over, and the wheel looked kinda funny.... cause the A-Arm snapped in half.. From now on that wall is going to be refered to "The Wall of Death" by me! Just trying to reinforce to everyone to pay attention to YOUR car instead of tat other guys. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif Ill get some pictures tomarrow, or sometime.

Use RPM parts and that probably wont happen for a hundred years.

RPM's A-arms are not the best. Try getting some aluminum ones.

I just got sommore carbon fiber ones. If I would aluminum ones, it would just bend, or the servo would break, or sumthin else. As long as i pay attenetion im a fairly alright driver

Carbon fiber doesn't even give , it's more likely to break off road , Rpm's new nylon arms should do the trick. There more likely to flex and not break.

Has anyone noticed the RPM ad that says "Guaranteed not to break." I have them on my T-Maxx and man are they strong.. I suggest reinforcing the Bulkheads and replacing the hinge pin with Titanium ones. You don't want your weak link in the suspension on the inside. You would want it to break were it is EASY to fix, and usualy cheaper. Think about it, how expensive is the servo saver compared to bulkheads, A-Arms, bell cranks, and etc... Not to mention the servo-saver would be very easy to replace compared to the bulkhead.
