me neither knez!!!! :))

the arms are 45mm longer than stock so its quite a big difference :)
Don't know what material to use yet, especially the thickness because in this thickness (8mm) longer means more/to much flex...
For me it doesnt matter if they will weigh a ton, they must be as tough as the standard ones or even tougher. Most people don't have to much problems with the standard arms so i think its a good reference for toughness.
Don't want them to be unbreakable also otherwise other stuff will break but i think it will be around 16mm thickness so they will be thick but considering the length it will be in proportion.

considering the dogbones, i'm still waiting for an answer from 2 people... It's just a thing of a looong breath (don't know if that's the right expression also in english lol) but winter is coming so perfect time to work on stuff that takes alot of time :)

I'm still waiting on some crucial parts to get the build up and running again...
Still need those 2 FLM XL bulkheads with the correct outdrives and then the mood will be better to start coz now its only bits and parts and not that much courage to start coz it wont be able to run so... :s

Recieved the shocks! and they are MASSIVE lol! never thought they were goin to be that big but they'll fit it perfectly , more scale! :)))

45mm longer is a lot. Just cant wait for you to finish this :)
Well i do agree, arms need to be at least strong as stock.
I agree, they should not be unbreakable as other parts will suffer.
How will you make them 16mm thick, probally not all the way but like thicker in middle?
Did you thought about using wider braces for a-arms, maybe than you could make shorter a-arms if this got any sence at all. As while you are making A-arms why not make them the lenght you want :)
But maybe something in between these 2 mods would be an option.
What about KD, to buy there DB only and make you arms lenght to fit those dogbones.

I gues you will update us how and what.
Waiting for goodies just sucks. Better part is when you receive them ;)
I am waching those FLM bulks for some time now, just cant say i know wich one should i order and why do one come with diff. output cups?

The shocks yes, so what you think of them..will you be ordering softer springs?
I received today kit for them, wich i draw lol.
