DB01 Front Arms

[simoncrabb]

I seem to be an expert in breaking the front arms of the DB01.

I've tried kit, the high traction ones, and have 501X kit ones on the way.

The question is, which ones are the strongest?

And, do bent hinge pins break wishbones more readily?

[Northy]

501X are the strongest. Bent hinge pins make them break easier. I have some 501X ones if yours are coming from Hing Hong and you want them sooner?

I have broke one arm, but that was some serious hit... the DB01 ones are the strongest out there!

nah, the 501X carbon arms are stronger in my experience.

[Fredrik Emilsson]

The original db01 arms are not carbon reinforced. They should allow more flex and therefore be able to take more abuse. I may be wrong.

The high traction ones are also carbon reinforced, but not as much as the TRF501X ones of course.

The kit (DB-01) ones are dirt cheap and hard to break but the screw holes strip easier.
