Kraton Watch for your arms! Mine look like bananas

[Surchaufeur]

I think the one im running on the truck is the original arms aho ca,e with the car
Going to try the bliling water method

Worked really well

Boiling water should certainly work to straighten em out. Simple fix and easy.
I don't have any parts that look like a banana but I wish I did. Would be a whole lot easier to pay for this hobby if I could deliver a curved banana when I needed to.

I cant imagine hwo the rpms would do. Because if you know the front chassi is at an angle and the arms are too and with time it wants to level out like the rear are and they become twisted and bent

I have never needed to buy arms after stock setup in my life yet 10 trucks. Maybe I'm not bashing hard enough but I reckon I need to break some sh*t so I don't keep lookin like a southern cornbread female dog-muffin. I do have rear bumper RPM parts on my poor (giant waste of money) Slash and a bumper on my Kraton. Softer but effective, I guess.

The only time i broke the arms in my kraton it by hitting metal posts twice at high speed. Otherwise they were doig really great even on sometimes one tire landing

At least with the RPM arms you can just rotate them side to side. Can’t do that with the Arrma arms.

Lets flip arms to the other side every run

mhhhh I was checking mines yesterday, they looked like they were bent but I just thought they've always been like that....
what's going on here? why is this happening?

They bend from the shock position out. Lot of stress keeping the car chassis off the ground thru jumping and ruff terrain. The hole for the suspension mount will get flared on the ends and egg shaped form general use. Also over time if a car is left on its wheels in a hot place the arms will bend. Best to set the chassis on a box so the stress is off the tires, shocks and arms.

well mine is pretty new, maybe a month old, I always place it on a box and I don't do crazy jumps.

Gotta check again

Its not a big deal just boil the arms every 1-2 months and flex them back to shape any plastic arm will bend over time
