Maxx A Arms? - 01.24.2007, 02:14 AM

Time to upgrage my A Arms on the emaxx basher.
I currently have rpms up front and stock rears.

I am thinking about going alloy arms all round.

What is better for bashing, rpm of alloy?

Also can anyone vouch for GPM aluminum arms?

Well, aluminum will be heavier and will not flex, just bend. RPM arms will be very flexable and a lot lighter. I would go with RPM mainly because you have a lifetime warrenty, but thats just me. I am not too sure about GPM, however I would suggest Fast Lane Machine or Unlimited Engineering a-arms if you go with the alloy ones.

The RPM arms are fine.

DO NOT go with GPM, their arms are molded and bend like theres no tomorrow.
If you want aluminum get FLM or if you have a pretty strong budget the Flextech arms are VERY strong.


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

FlM arms would be nice for no flex and bashing.

I agree. Sylvester's got it nailed.

RPM is perfect for the basher. Fastlane for the basher who maybe races or just wants more precision (and a great warrantee). The Unlimited arms are best for racers & light bashing.

It seems to happen like that if you edit the quote.
