revo control arms
well today me and a friend tried to jump his house. but unfortunately on the test jump it slammed into the chimney and fell back onto the driveway. so now my revo has 3 broken control arms. both on the left and the upper on the right. would it be worth it to upgrade or just replace it with the old stock arms?
and how much would the stock arms cost?

RE: revo control arms
if u are going to continue to try insane jumps such as houses and whatnot...don't waste your money. Get on e-bay and buy stock. It wont matter if u buy flex or rpm arms cause from that big of a fall u are going to break anything. I would't throw the xtra money away if u don't have to. Just my 2 cents

RPM has a lifetime warranty, sure.....but read it.....they don't warrant "stupid." How many times do you think they will replace control arms to a single customer? Their warranty has caveats to prevent them from being "bled to death" by people doing stupid stunts.
Buy OEM stuff off ebay, and buy plenty....frames, engine mounts, diffs....y'all are gonna be tearing up a ton of stuff....

RPM offer a lifetime warranty, get a set of those and never worry again, IF you brake them, get some new ones for free.

Try breaking a set intentionally, or even just one, every week, and keep sending it in......how many do you think they can AFFORD to continue giving you, and still maintain a profit, to stay in business?
Just check their site and read the warranty.
Fact is they make good stuf, and it will hold up longer than the OEM parts, but if you're gonna do stuff like jumping the house, it is better to have cheap breakable parts, rather than transferring the destructive inputs to more expensive parts.....shock shafts, rockers, axles.......
