When I did my recent long wheel base 3S build I put typhon rpm arms on. I already expected them to bow somewhat because the shorter ones on my granite do. However I did not expect them to bow in less than a month and so much. I mean it literally looks like the ass end is double smiling at me they have bowed so much
I’m building a notorious and I decided to get rpm arms for it. Do they bow on a 6S car as bad as they do on my 3s car? Is there anything that can be done to stiffen them up a bit, like boiling them and quenching them in cold water? I know that somewhat defeats the purpose of flexible RPM arms, but it’s really bad on my long armed 3s build. Bad to the point of interfering with suspension function, especially on the rear.
I will admit I’m a bit frustrated because the stupid things are pricey. I’m thinking I should’ve stuck with stock arms off of Jenny’s.
