Akela and I decided to head out to a local Sand pit on Friday and test out some new items, 1 of which were Rock Concept Rear lower A arms. Made from 7075 Aluminium these things are beefy and strong.
Once at the pit we had the loader operator to build us some jumps (not like he had anything else to do, it was a slow day and it just so happens he owns the pit)
While he was doing this I got stupid and tried to launch my buggy into orbit..This is another story but for the purpose of this review the arms were awesome!!!!
Then once the jumps were ready we proceeded to play lets see who can wreck their buggies first. In the end neither one of us had to go home early and we sure appreciated the RC A arms.. Heavy hitting and some serious cartwheels usually means new shock shafts at the end of the day... not friday, I came home with straight shafts.. A great day is making it home with straight shafts.
These arms are beefy and although 2 times heavier than stock it has been my contention all along that the buggy could use a little extra weight in the rear and the way this thing was flying I was not disappointed in my guess..
The arms took a beating, no signs of wear on the hinge pins, helps eliminate wheel rub and as best as I can tell really aids in keeping shock shafts straight.
10.5 out of 10 for the Rock Concepts A Arms.
One more thing to add. RC arms have mounting holes for HPI Sway Bar kit #HPI86618
You can pick them up at any of our advertisers or your LHS for $129.00 (or less) which is a great price for a 7075 product.
