Soft Arms

[bring it on]

I talked to Mike last night and he said he has 50 sets of the new softer arms coming. He hopes to have them within a week.;)
I would like to ask Mike or Mikey if they are going to make these arms for the truggy?

Oh nice. I am wanting to pick up the new arms too. Also the new upper arms and some diggity shock towers. I know you can by all the Diggity parts through Mike, but he only has the one front tower listed on the Caster USA site.:confused:

I told Mike about the one shock tower only showing up. He should be fixing it soon.
How old are you?

That's a relatively old team pic taken back in 2008. Here is a recent pic that I sent to Mike to be an updated team pic.

I def need an updated pic on the team drivers page. I PM'd Mike this updated pic...he just hasn't had time to take care of small jobs.

are these the same no fibre softer arms that were out mid to late last season, or have they revised the product?
If they're last years, then they're great. I ran tham exclusively with no breakages.

[Aggressor08]

yeah they are the ones you are thinking of. they don't come with the ZX-1.5R pro kit

They are the same no fiber arms. I'm testing them on my new 1.5r this weekend.

Thanks Clayton!!! Back when you were selling the team driver shirts I remember you recommending getting a large even though the sizes ran a tad big. You got any new pics of your Caster rides?...new paint schemes?

watch out alot of slop comes out of the softer arms but I personally think they are awesome. i never had a issue with them

lve done 6 race meets with the update arms and all is good, only thing lve noticed is that they flex alot more on a hot day but they were great at the end of last winter

Daniel broke his front lower a-arm 3 times during the same racing day. Same arm, same side. Luckely, we had enough spares to keep him going.

Mike, the amrs you sent me....Are they the new softer arms? If so, he has broke them too. Need to figure out what is going on with his buggy. If not, we need to get some of them in. I told him that his hinge pins are different then mine. He is runng nitro and I am funning electric, but you would think the pins to be the same. His is solid from end to end and mine looks like a Q Tip with larger ends but smaller center. Could this be what is causing a problem on his buggy? Anyone have any ideas or thigs to look at to check what could cause this issue. I think all together he has gone through 4-5 lower arms. Same arm, same side.

[REAPER]

what was the temperature that day???

[cheesecake]

Replace the hinge pins....... if breaking arms is a problem it could be a bent hinge pin

Both me and Johnathon ran all this weekend and didn't break anything. I have the new arms on my buggy and the stock arms on the truggy. Video of the truggy and buggy abuse coming soon.

Maybe try some Proline tires or work on the set-up some more. The car didn't look like it was set-up and handling very well to begin with.
