Hi,

Have you tried the RMP arms for the B44 series.
Supposed to be stronger.

What Mick said, The RPM arms are amazing and unbreakable. I have them on my Azarashi (B44.1 conversion) and my son has them on his B44.3. Both have had immense crashes with cars and track markers and we have never broken one.

Used to budget at least 1 arm per days racing and on my worst day broke 4! Changing to RPM arms also does not seem to break anything else more frequently. It has also stopped breaking shock caps and shock shafts so all is good!

I never broke a front arm only shock shafts. Having a small amount of play in the front arms might help. The weakest part is the turnbuckles, they were always falling off. On the b5m they a mega hard to get off so its from one extreme to the other.

Rpm arms are good, didnt break one even after some serious crashes (when i was still learnong to turn at all) . Mine was a little tight to fit for some reason, a little messing aroundit was still tight but worked.

as you say ... dont crach helps . but I can say yes the front arms are weak and have always been like that . so go the RPM way you will not complain about them lol even I have not broken them so they are bulet proof so far
