i hope you find better luck with the CEN parts! for all of us really!!!

I really do not want alloy arms, but the people who do use them seem to really like them... i definitely wouldnt be doing any large jumps... but for larger extened savages with big motors, they must offer better handling and control at speed as they do not flex at high speeds like the plastic sotckers....

I was taking a serious look at the FLM arms... as much as i dont like alloy they could work really well considering the GH Alloy bulks will mean that on large tumbles, the arm wont break away from the bulk...
I do like the idea of adding a little width and then running large wheels with less off set, so there is less strain on the bearings...
Also the LST Hub is such a great design being able to use 3 bearings! If a half inch is all thats needed, and considering you have proven that the LST Hub attaches to the savage style lower arm... it could be a tempting idea to try!

Lets firstly see if the CEN parts work

Yeah, have enough cen parts on order to do on end of the truck.

I would really like to get a cvd that is solid, and the correct length to run the lst hubs on the savvy arms. That would offer the benefits or larger bearing spaced farther apart (plus the 3rd bearing that can be added), a little extra width, and the new era lst2 hubs can be used on the front (with the fixed lst2 hub on the back) as they are super strong. I have heard that steering throw is not that great on the lst2, but I have never really worried about it, I have large bashing areas, and electic has reverse!
