True. Replacing an arm surely beats replacing a bulkhead/gearbox..Looking on the bright side, breaking arms is just saving damage on the rest of the chassis
Wow you've broken all those parts?Oh
I land mine to flat from BMX track berms, so it's probably dropping from 15 feet onto grass. Cartwheels also, and aside from hinge pin, shock eyes, shaft, shock piston, spoiler ripping off, arms have held up fine
Yea I'd rather be a cream puff then break arms every outing hahaThere's a few who have used Arrma Kraton arms on the Kronos. I believe I've seen RPM and Arrma Kraton arms fitted before..
@Wallys Rc World has done this I believe.
I was going to try it myself but, turns out I'm too soft to break arms I guess.. a cream puff I am,LOL
Laughing at the cat comment. Was impressed it didn't run from it!The arms are pretty stiff by RTR standards. This is great from a handling perspective, not so great from a durability perspective. It would be much better if Corally or RPM just make some revised arms for us that are a little more flexible.
Much like @KnowAir - I'm yet to break any of my XTR arms. I don't launch it - I just hoon it around on bumpy grass (for my cat's entertainment) or on speed runs on tarmac. It rarely gets higher than 3 foot off the ground.
Soaking drive belts in WD40 certainly made them more flexible for racing. I guess soaking the arms might do something similar for them.
At times she chases after it - she totally plays with it. She watched me put it together. Ditto for the XT8.

A buddy and I were walking home from another friends house when we were teenagers. Well below freezing outside, on a dark deserted stretch of road. Hey, you hear that he says. What I ask. He takes of running into the woods,snow on the ground..wtf I'm thinking. He comes out of the woods with this little white kitten. Where the heck did that come from? Someone had to have dumped it? He took him home. Had that cat for probably 15 years, grew to be 20lb at least. Huge tom cat, Thomas the cat was his name. He was a badazz too, he'd chase down dogs,squirrels..At times she chases after it - she totally plays with it. She watched me put it together. Ditto for the XT8.
In fairness, she's a rescued feral kitten. Totally off topic, but here she is when I found her, frozen, in the middle of the road at 2am...

..she quickly gained strength and my wife used some fancy ass hair conditioner to get rid of the lice.

She turned into this fine specimen - a miniature panther. And my little shadow.
Thank you - and that's a beautiful dog right there! Look at her little face. Full of warmth.@Horatio thats a good thing you did there saving her, and amazing how shes turned out
My dog was a rescue too from a charity. When we got her she was bitten, cut, full of mites and fleas and scared of everyone/everything a little bit of love and care and she's golden now

How awesome is that? They're like bonus gifts as far as I'm concerned. 
I only used lower arms. But had to use kraton cvds because the kraton arms were a tiny bit longerWow you've broken all those parts?
Yea I'd rather be a cream puff then break arms every outing haha
It must just be me that has these issues. I tried Kraton arms the bottom fit but upper kraton arm's don't fit as they are too long
I love these kinds of stories. God bless you brotherAt times she chases after it - she totally plays with it. She watched me put it together. Ditto for the XT8.

Corally actually told me to boil the arms for 20 mins to soften the plastic. But warned it would reduce handling. Oh my. What part of BASHING do they NOT understand? I had already converted it to the mut it is now. Now i love it
Thank you, fella. Humans as a species can never really make up for all the havoc they've wrought upon the planet, so I believe we should be kind to animals whenever we can.
I agree, but the planet has been through much worse than what we're capable of..Thank you, fella. Humans as a species can never really make up for all the havoc they've wrought upon the planet, so I believe we should be kind to animals whenever we can.
Very true. Every now and then, there's a great reset.
