The old arms are not weak. They are quite strong and ridged which makes poor for cold weather use. Because they become more brittle due to being hardened plastic.

WOW what a nice cover up ROFL!!! So what does that mean you have to exchange your arms depending on what track your running at??

No you merely fit the softer arms when the winter arrives

yes you can. they are longer so it will act as a tunning tool. me myself will prob just get the soft ones and run them. ya they say for cold conditions? but i think they just corrected their first attempt and made one that will hold up. ive broke only 4 arms w/ about 10gal on my xb8. and they were in the cold cold. after i started heating them up, they didnt break. i think this summer either one will be good. and the new ones are supposed to have the droop mod done to them.
