Re: What other front arms will work for an OLD IS NEW build?
I decided the Dynatech B2 carpet arms I got were better suited on a JG truck build.
Charlie don't surf was right about the shock mounting holes being way further out....more than I had hoped.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
I did try Traxxas Bullet/Sledgehammer arms and they can work on a buggy kick up with B4 front wheels. They're ~5/32" longer than stock wide arms which is only 1/32" shorter than what a GT axle adds per side. They need to be shimmed at the arm mount and caster block and the steering knuckle will hit the arm when turning if some material isn't shaved off the arm.
