Default Aluminium Rear Suspension Arms (Monster Beetle)

Heya go Kaiser,

I got the arms today and fitted them easily. Just a tip for anybody who might end up purchasing some of these, when assembling be sure to secure the shock absorber onto the shock mount before securing the Talons onto the model using the r<font size="2">ear suspension arm pivots. This is because unlike on the stock plastic arms, the shock is secured using a nut, which is extremely difficult toget to after theTalonsare in place on the model.

Another point to mention, I have a CRP chassis brace and to allow for the slightly angled position of the shock absorbers I needed to trim a very small amount of plastic off the mount on the chassis brace that holds the end of the shock. Anyone who tries to assemble these on to their model will see straight away what I'm referring to. It's no biggy, and if I can do it, literally that means anyone can!

These arms are proper solid. The quality is amazing and they look **** hot!

As I expected, the arms are not immediately compatible with the CRA anti-sway bar. I'm sure however, if you wanted it on there enough it could be done.
