My dear oracles...
Are there any alternative arms (from other manufacturers) that fit these cars? My spare arms are a couple of years old, mostly graphite, and seem to break very easily. Are all new B4.1 and B44.1 arms now plastic only? (more flex / stronger) And especially for the front arms, they always break by the inner hinge pin - did AE by any chance add more material there at any time? Thx for all input! ![]() TESTED: Team Durango > does not fit (none of them) You cannot swap front arms B4 vs B44, they are different (rears are equal)

The new arms for the B4 / b44 are more flexible then the carbon arms.
From softest to hardest. Stock B4.1 arm Stock B44.1 arm Carbon arm The B4.1 should be less prone to breakage, but there is a major chance when used in a B44(.1) the arm can flex and drive shaft pop out. MiCk B. :-)

What about Durango arms? Pretty sure they will fit with some modding

Thx a lot! So new arms came with the .1 cars? New part numbers from the old cars?
Rear arms are equal B4 vs B44, but front as well???

I think that the part numbers stayed the same
B4 & B44 front arms are different |

I remember using the Tamiya 501x front wishbones on my bj4. Pretty sure they will fit the b44. You need to dremel the slot wider where it fits over the bulkhead though.

Sorry, this is not an option. I tried yesterday. Shame, as the Durango ones have a lot more material around the inner hinge pin (where the AE front arms are prone to break).
-The geometry is different, especially in the rear -The hinge pin diameter is different -You'd need to do a lot of dremeling, for instance the AE ones are "open" vs. "closed" D ones. I'll try the new AE arms. But if there's any other brand with very strong/soft arms that are a direct fit that certainly would be worth a try. There's just too little material around the inner hinge pin in the front. Cheers
