What type of a arms are you looking to Build? I have a picture of a set I made a long time ago on my site. at www.quarterscaleberetta.com there in my parts section I made them for a 1/4 scale buggy I was building that never got finished. they have a lot of travel. and are fullly adjustable.

Are you talking about a standard straight axle front end like a real VW bug or what? if so you wont have much travel at all.

Why not do a Trailing arm type ?



I think it really is a good design for buggies, both fromt and rear, but it has to be beefy enough to handle lateral movements and torque.
