t4 a-arms breaking
Has anybody had a problem with the a-arms on the t4? I keep breaking them on the left front. I even broke one last sunday at dave's on the oval. Put a brand new arm on and did a couple acceleration runs on the oval to dial in the slipper a little bit and the a-arm snapped going straight without hitting anything.
I checked to make sure nothing is binding or anything like that. I can't figure it out, I tried the plastic arms and the stock graphite arms.
Every time it breaks at the outside hingpin on the back side of the wheel next to where the hingpin screw is. I tried it without the screw and with the screw and it breaks in same spot.
I have my endpoints turned down so that it doesn't quite go lock to lock.
I ordered some rpm gt2 arms and if that doesn't work then I have no idea what to do.
Thanks for any help guys

Re: t4 a-arms breaking
Seems as though you remedied your own problem, as I was going to suggest the RPM Gt2 arms. 

Re: t4 a-arms breaking
Have you tried the rpm arms? What all do I need? I ordered the arms, and castor blocks for a gt2.

Re: t4 a-arms breaking
I have them just havent put them on yet, but It seems as though I remember you need longer inner hinge pins.
Re: t4 a-arms breaking
Yeah I got those too. Need the gts inner ones. I also ordered the b4 rear hub carriers and bearings. I hope this fixes the problems or else I will buy aluminum arms or sell it and buy a slash.
