I boiled some CRT.5 arms as a test...

Awesome, I'll be waiting for the results. I definitely favor durability with some loss in precision versus a precise setup that could break on a hard landing.

To finish first you must first finish!

OK, last night I still wasn't satisfied that I had boiled an arm long enough to the point that it was too flexy. So, I tossed in another spare rear arm for 30 min. Again it got a bit softer than the 20min arm, but was still not overly soft IMO. So, I took all 4 arms off my crt.5 and boiled them for 20min. I'll be doing some test driving at the local backyard track today, but its pretty supercross style with all bowl turns, so any lose in handling probably won't be noticed. Next week I'll get over to the clay track and get some real feedback.

why dont you go big and boil for an hour to see if its good enough for you?

I'm running out of extra arms. I'll see how the 20min arms work out. I can always throw them back in the pot and boil 'em longer.

makes sence.

good luck!

Went to the clay track today. Managed to throw the crt.5 into a huge cartwheel trying to jump the quad (30ft out of a corner). I broke a front C-hub and bearings in the steering knuckle. The front arm survived great. This is only the 2nd time I've broken a C-hub and I've broken at least 6 front arms in that time. So, I think the 20min boil helped save the arm. I did not notice any odd handling issues, but I also did not get to drive it as much as I wanted. Hopefully, I'll test it some more this week.

Any new info about the 20 min. arms? Still holding?
