Broken A-Arm Again!

[Meli]

Again, I am having no luck with the rear a arms. These are the Firehammer rear arms and they snapped just as easy as the stock parts! Do I need to go with FG parts?

Here are some pics. As u can see it didn't break, it pulled out the threads.

the buggy hit just right on the ends..lot of weight,,,good that it pulled loose...
not real damage to the rest of the buggy......That is 1 reason I still use plastic arms..
as to have very little damage done........Best to you and enjoy your buggy...Slawhammer

Try FG arms

We were going to when we ordered $50. worth of Duratrax parts. If they would've been FG it would have been more like $150. I guess u get what u pay for. We took the cheap way out and now I'm paying for it.

I will order FG parts, thanks Crazy Beetle!

i thougt Duratrax had a seriosu warranty.

Are you sure the bolt is big enough in diameter? You may want to try a bigger bolt, cut it off to the size you need, and try that to see if it bites into the plastic better. Is the bolt the same size on both sides?
