Broken drop arm
The 3rds arms run a hard bush on the chasis which does not allow for vibrations from bad roads. They crack the ring out of the rail.
And flex i got better with standard arms that the 3rds. If you want more flex pull out the nsf bolt on the diff heaps of flex. but dont drive on road like that rellly kooky

Re: Broken drop arm
I would just put standard arms back in much stronger..muddymav wrote:heya all, i have a swb mav and i cracked a drop arm on a rock right where the castor bush is. i am obviously looking at replacing it and i was looking at a 3" dropped radius arm. i looked at 3rd's 3" droped radius arms

If you want more flex play around with your coils and shock setup.
I've seen these aftermarket arms snap, and if your snapping standard arms these wont last long and it seems such waste of $1500 for a set of arms.

Michael, just so you know, the major dramas 3rds had with crackin the ring outa the chassis was related to their earlier arms, where i believe they were using some sort of solid bearing or something along those lines,
but their current ones are using a nylon bush, which is meant to be haps better, i have no dramas with them in ym comp truck,

2DEXTREME arms are the go, n nothings weaker then a std arm, the only drop arm I know of breaking was an early snake racing arm but as the 2DEXTREME ares are used in alot of comp rigs that have been doin serious comps for years with no brakages I use them in all the trucks I build, also cheaper then snake
