I feel like they're super snug in all arms. Regardless of manufacturer or model

Perfect...thank you.

Broken hinge pin and arm is all worn out anyway looks like it's either stock replacement or the FLM extended kit...$225 isn't actually that bad of a price even after conversion from Canadian...suppose those IRP links on my truck aren't going to fit with the extended arm kit??? Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Replacing arms either way they are original and pretty sloppy and beat up....I just can't have that.

don't waste the money on the flm extended arms. They are the same length as the mtxl arms.

The stock mtxl arms?? So I would also need the mtxl dogbones cvd's and links to make them work on my dbxl? The fast lane machine kit is all 4 arms the cvd's and links

The tunbuckles is what I meant in place of links.

Yeah I knew what you meant. Was just saying I believe the stock stuff will be cheaper. And I'm fairly sure you'll just need the dog bones and arms. You'll need the turn buckles either one you choose.
I'll offer an alternative option #2 keep running stock length arms and get a set of dgi v2 axle extenders. I think this will be the cheapest option and give you the performance your after. Aslo then you can run the heavier axles as flm doesn't offer them in the extended length.

 

[Ron Young]

This is current setup.. forgive me for being a noob but aren't those axle extenders on it already? Think I'll stick with the stock arms for now...ordered a new set with hinge pins the caps and a new hitec ds955 steer servo. Love that chassis skin man they never had poop like this 15yrs ago when I was building Tmaxx's and Savages.

 

[Seandonato73]

No that's the std adapter. The axle extenders replace that and push the wheels out a but farther.

Just finished installing RPM arms and axle carriers on my merv and they aren't super snug....not even tight lol.

Broken rod end... can't seem to locate just the rod ends for these. Do I really have to buy a whole new set?? Any suggestions are always appreciated.

This is the steer servo I pulled out. Was functional but the new one will be much better.
