I have to say....I'm really pissed off about this. I took my Notorious to the BMX track along with my Typhon and Granite. I ran the Notorious first and was going nice and easy. Truth be told, I'm afraid of trashing the body so I wasn't really sending it like I usually so. After landing a small jump (on all 4 wheels no less) I saw the back end of the truck dragging. I went over and saw that the rear RPM A-arm simply shatteted.
To compound the matter, the breakage caused collateral damage. The lower hinge pin bent and the shock post sheared off. I also lost the dogbone.
I am going to put the unused stock rear A-arms back on. I had everything in hand to fix this except the hinge pins which I just ordered.
I'll be the first to admit when I ball up a truck and break something. I'm an ok driver at best and I have no problem admitting it. But this was just a plain failure of the RPM A-Arm. It will make me think long and hard if I go back to them again.
