King Motors Aluminum A arms?

[midwestguy69]

Was wondering how the king motors aluminum a arms are holding up? I am thinking on buying a set for my baja.

i,d go for the rpm plastic arms ,i think you need a bit of flex in the arms ,

I agree with Pablo. I'm goin for RPM arms soon. They are supposed to be VERY strong from what ive heard.
That said though, the crash which Voos KM suffered on sunday was HUGE and it came down HARD onto the front end, on tarmac, and the front arm took the brunt, and was heavily scuffed but did not break !

Why do people say to only run aftermarket bottom a arms up front?

My front lowers KM Alloys are showing a bit of play in the ball area... and one of them has the ring that holds the ball cracked...

Note: I did have a very hard crash on that side that cracked the chassis, bent the Upper Plate... etc...

Since I have upgraded everything in that area... but Im still waiting for the Lower Front Arm the has a cracked ring to fail... and so far its holding up...

I wil be Upgrading to a Billet Arm soon...

I think the KM arms are Cast not Billet... but Im just guessing here...
