RacerX
 

quick question are the RacerX arms longer than the stock arms?
and if so how much?
i c the setbacks say there 22mm longer are the front arms longer too?

No, they are the same width. The setbacks extend the truck with 23mm, they don't make it any wider.

1 minute.. That's a quick answer...

lol yea real quick

so why are the RacerX so good?

Its because they eliminate the rear upper arms with turnbuckles, look great and are strong. 1 problem with them is pillowballs break easily.

7075 aluminum, unique geometry. and they didn't take the easy route in machining them..

Pretty damn pricy, too. They're worth the money, though.

that's odd, I have never broke a PB, heck im still running my original stock ones from when i got my maxx, back in 2001.....

are they better than the FlexTek arms?

For racing yes, but for bashing the flex of the flextechs are nicer.

They are different. Like apples to grapefruit comparsion. flex tech good basher.

this is how the suspesnions break down in order of quality & performance ( this is my take on it...

Racer X- (best suspension made --widetrac, Racer X)
Gorilla maxx (2nd)
FLM (3rd)
Flextech (4th)
RPM (5th)
Integy (6th)
stock (7th)

rpm isnt even on your list?
but i looking for the best arms for my racebomb i plan on raceing and bashing it what do u guyz think i should go?

If you can afford the UE, id take those out of all of them.

oops, i forgot about them....edited post

definately Racer x.....if you can afford it

My list would be like this ;

1-Racer X
2-Flextech
3-G-maxx
4-FLM
5-RPM
6-Stock
7-Integy

wow stock above integy..lol that is funny

Me personally would take the flm over gmaxx.
It has better price and stronger to.

racer x it is then
what kind of diff should i run now

well , you can do the following...
hybrid bulks with UE 6 or 8 spyder diffs or run the HB diffs inside, or run UE 6 or 8 spyder with UE diff cases, or flm or maximizer diff cups with stock gears in a aluminum diff case....it really depends on how much $ you have to spend or want to spend....also the UE & HB diffs are sealed so you can run diff fluid in them, while the others are not....

IMO integy is pure junk, we both forgot the GPM arms which would be Under integy arms! :005:

very true, actually , we forgot CNC machine, hardcore racing, and im sure there is others, but after you drop down to rpm.....no sense keeping track.....

Yea, anything below RPM is useless, only for show.

or if you dont id get flm

I would put FLM suspension before the Gmaxx suspension unless you are a racer...

Id second what newe said, with my old max i had ALOT of problems with the G3 suspension, should have got FLM.

I didn't so much as have problems, but I found a better alternative to bash with is all. And, I didn't do to bad and getting back some jing when i sold the gmaxx sus. But, I will say, for the weight, the G3 is top notch stuff! And it handles like a dream too!

One thing i didnt like is the shocktowers, they bent like butter.

Interesting, I never had a problem with the towers, but can see how so. I had a problem with the front arms hitting trees! LOL

LOL! I also wasnt a fan of the little hinges which are on the arms which connect the shocks.

yeah, they were weak! I stopped replacing them altogether, it was not worth it! And the set screws that went into the pillow balls, they ruined the threads on the pillow balls and it was PITA to remove those!

Looks like we had similar problems.. the G4 race suspension better have some improvements! :)

If it does cool. I have the Racer X now! LOL

Yea i know that... hey, i have an LSP now! LOL

LOL, now if he would have changed it sooner!

Oh well... hopefully some handful of people get it!

I'm sure he will. Plenty of new guys around that will, that is forsure.

That is, if it is well priced. Even if i were a racer, i think id go with flextech since it is technically indestructable.
