hey guys
BTW. anybody know the tower part number for the front a arms.
i ordered a bunch of spare parts for mt2 18ss and i ordered 2 sets of a arms. thinking they
would fit both front and back. but the front are smaller. so i got 2 sets for the rear and no spares for the front.
tower says the front and the rear are the same. but there not.
The only A arm I broke in well over 5 gallons was an alloy but when I ordered and extra set of plastic the part number included 1 front and 1 rear. Now let me tell you my experience with aluminum. When my MT was a MT1 I had just about all alloy A arms, A arm mounts, Shock tower and diff case. When I broke my aluminum A arm it not only break the A are it passed the problem on to the next weakest point and bent my chassis. If I would have had plastic good chance the only thing that would have broke is the cheap A arm.
On my Mini-Z F1’s I had problems with the axel pulling out of the knuckles so I got aluminum knuckles then I started breaking tie rods so I got aluminum ties rods and then I started stripping servo gears so it is just much cheaper and easier to replace plastic knuckles. Now on my MT the only extra aluminum I run is the knuckles. Aluminum is all so much heaver.
