I crashed my Baldre today, and broke the front lower suspension arm.
Are there any aluminium hop ups for this suspension arm instead of the standard plastic one.
This must be a weak point on the DB-01 chassis.
For the front assembly there are aluminum 'arms', aluminum 'suspension mounts', aluminum 'suspension blocks', aluminum 'castor blocks' and aluminum 'uprights' available for the DB-01 chassis. I am guessing you are referring to the 'arms' only..
The aluminum arms are usually not favored as much since the arms should have some flex to absorb shock. However, the 'suspension mounts' and 'castor blocks' are weak points and typically should be replaced with aluminum parts. This seems to be the case with both the DB-01 and 501/511X chassis.
Hope this helps.
