Kraton Aluminum arms ???

[Dakota]

What does everyone think about aluminum arms . Are they better to have . Or do you recommend stick with like rpm arms ?? Or stock

 

[Mr.Duke]

They're good for shelf queen status and look nice but don't offer the flexibility that plastic arms have. Once they flex past a certain point they'll stay that way until you beat them back into shape

 

[Erstadw]

I would stick with stock or rpm. Cheaper to replace when they get damaged.

 

[arrmadillo]

Bad idea, show not go!

 

[Wmorgan]

You want the arms to flex under stress. If they don't flex the stress transfers toward the center of the vehicle and will manefest in bent dog bones or chassis or bell crank, etc.

 

[Notorious J]

Nope. Somethings gotta give when you hit. Better a cheap plastic arm, then a chassis, dif case or steering components.

 

[Sledgehog]

I second and third what WMorgan and NotoriousJ said.

Guessing you meant to say "hinge pins" instead of "dog bones".

Potato, tomato...what I really meant to say was "stiff arms gets poop broke you don't want broke". I reckon hinge pins falls under that category. ?
