Since rpm arms are so flexible, couldn’t they also be kinda bad? Like since they flex so much on a bad landing can’t they rip off many more shock rod ends and bend more dogbones?

ThisI don't think they flex as much as you are imagining. I had good experiences with them on my Kraton.
Here's one that was on my Talion ?Thanks guys. Will they fit the v4 talion? I’ve read numerous things that they are not a drop in fit.
That's a great question. Arrma's snap too easy but RPM's flex too much. The RPM last longer, but as they get old, drive shafts start popping out more easily and it gets harder to set up ride height because they're bent. I just got the Kraton EXB and the arms are night and day to the stock 6s. Haven't had enough runtime to truly test them out, but first impression is that they should hold up well. Then you have the issue of hinge pins. Stronger arms could lead to bent pins. You know what, there's no good answer. Sorry I got involved in this conversation. @bicketybam, please don't yell at me.Since rpm arms are so flexible, couldn’t they also be kinda bad?

I mean I’ve had great luck with my stock arrma arms. The exb arms seem amazing to me.That's a great question. Arrma's snap too easy but RPM's flex too much.

Can you use the exb arms with the talion shocks and towers?Here's one that was on my Talion ?

Found it while performing maintenance. They certainly aren't unbreakable and I hate they way they warp. So far I am loving the EXB suspension arms.
Stock arms are okay, but they have a tendency to break near the hinge pins fairly easily. They're also very inexpensive if purchased through a kit breaker. If you can switch out fast, definitely good bang for the buck.I mean I’ve had great luck with my stock arrma arms. The exb arms seem amazing to me.

I'm curious about the lineup for the shocks. I was thinking the exb towers were different and it ended up changing the geometry of everything and where the rod ends will attach. I run RPM on everything that has the wide arms though.Stock arms are okay, but they have a tendency to break near the hinge pins fairly easily.
