Axial Alum. steering arm busted

[irok]

Have many others broke one yet?
Funny thing was there was no stress on it or much before it happened.
The aluminum looks kinda soft,guess i'll go back to the 'good old' Golden Horizon arms,they had just as much steering throw anyway,for less money also:roll:

Congrats, I havent seen that before "thumbsup":lol:
It is always good to put a screw with a counternut in unused holes...

Ah maybe you can tell me, is there a bigger steering angle with the aluminium ones that with the stock plastic knuckles?

They are the same as stock plastic for steering angle,but the plastic ones are a little wider in the arm casting.
I'll upload a pic

Dude, thats sic! What were you doing? were you bound up? I would contact the store you bought them from or axial, that doesn't seem like it should happen except under extreme conditions. They should replace it I would think.

Here's a pic of the same line it broke on.
This pic has my spare G.H. arms on and back in action!

Here's a few bonus pix i took while testing out some foam mods.
