RE: Broken A-arm
Oh yeah I love jumping mine, its balanced all to hell, I love it when you running and it hits those bumps and it makes it hop around looks too trick! My overdrive ST is the one thats difficult to keep from endoing when I jump it, that dont mean I dont like to jump it though [&:]

its not really brittle, just really fast with graphite parts(in my case with cold weather). ive acually found it to be quite strong.

You are gonna hate that ST-15 when you go to race. That thing is slow and it handles bad! Not meaning to dis your car... It a good beginners or backyard bashing car...

Yeah I wish they made the front a arms on the xxx nt as chunky as the rear ones. Or if maybe the front and rear were the same thing so you could interchange the two.

ya i never did get why they dont make them the same size. i was thinking about maybe getting a piece of plastic and making solid a-arms. wish i had a cnc mill.

RE: RE: Broken A-arm
i though about it but it would really suck if i bent a aluminum one. maybe eventually i will. first i need to do other stuff to my truck. i am planning on getting a starter box, titanium front axles and aluminum knuckles(they come together from http://asiatees.com ), aluminum pivot blocks, alumiunum hub carriers, titanium top shaft(or aluminum if i cant find a titanium one), kevlar spur gear gear, new fuel because im about out(im going to fantom), a set of tires that will work good for the grass, titanium pivot balls, a better air filter, titanium brake disk, and thats about it.
