how do they stand up to punishment thou man, i mean the plastic gives a little where the aluminum will just bend. way more expensive to fix. but anyways lets see some pics.

In the ALUM game - I think this part is quite low on my want to have list. Although I have yet to break a post - perhaps when I do that will change my mind.

For some of us that push our vehicles to the outer limits, these are manditory.

Where can I get a set of them (although they look simple enough to make)? Please post the part number too. I'm in the process of fabricating an entirely new roll cage for my MB that is made out of 3/8" solid aluminum bar stock...just have a few more mods to make before it can be tig welded and completed. I'll post some pics once its finished (should be about a week from now).

Hmmm. Sure looks like a feller would want to make a separate plate that spans the roll cage, then mount the body posts on top of that plate. Might help distribute shock loads, rather than transferring them to the roll cage directly.

mnf1 - I take offense to that comment... I try to break my kits as much as the next guy In fact sometimes I just pull the throttle and look away - drink a beverage etc...

rfaster, LMAO........[X(] I have a video of my beetle 20ft. in the air, half a backflip, landed UPSIDE DOWN! I lost both body posts on that one. I will post it on MMR sometime.

Pongo

Yea, but have you landed so hard upside down you broke a spark plug?

I did,... first day out at FHF,... just started having fun when I went for big air,... oops! No spares on me that day either, so my day was done quick.

ammdrew

Ive done that.. arrrg only reason I have a spare.

Are there any other alloy parts recommended by anyone with the MB that will increase the durability. I broke the rear upper arm and the body post already. Thanks

mnf1sand

I have some things I would suggest here. http://www.molzermoweryracing.com/sasrandd

Thanks for the info. Also are the rear lower alloy arms necessary. Do they put more stress on other parts that are harder or more expensive to replace?

jeepfreak1972

Sorry. Last reply was ment for mnf1sand. I'm new to forums in general so please bear with me.

mnf1sand

as long as you use the stock plastic inside ball and socket joints on the arms you would be ok. you always want some plastic to give it a place to break. are they necassary? you ask, well no. but they sure are nice to have. that way there really is no worry of pulling out one of those turnbuckles.

jeepfreak1972

Thanks for the advice. Any alloy recommended for the front?

mnf1sand

the only thing i plan on using up front is both front bulkheads. FG is still working to get those out, so we have none to try yet.
