Default Upgrading my arms on my Hyper 7 which ones

I am considering upgrading the arms an my Hyper 7 TQ
Could you have a look at these links if they are the correct ones for my hyper.
I have contacted the seller but he hasn’t responded.

The front lower arms that’s confusing me because they are different from the original ones I have fitted.

These are my front arms I have on mine

I would stay away from alloy stuff. Being an old revo guys they tend to snap instead of flex, even when racing not bashing. The plastic is so much better suited and its lighter as well again this is just my opinion but I would say ive been in the hobby long enough and seen enough revos ,savages and buggies with broken and bent aluminum parts.

I second that motion. A few spare sets of plastic front/rear upper and lower arms and you are good to go.

THe aluminum is heavy too. it will add that will slow you down, plus it only looks good when you first put it on. After that is gets scratched and never looks as nice as it first did.

i agree with what the others say. stay away from alum. stuff like control arms. they dont bend and flex the way a plastic part will under stress.
