I broke two arms already and i have heard it is because i dont have a aluminum pivot block. any information would be nice.
Later T.J.

Actually it's because you ran into things but that's pointing out the obvious. :jest: I don't think an alum pivot block is going to help you with breaking arms, it will just strengthen the pivot block so it won't break. Reduce the running into things and you'll reduce the arm breakage.

Technically i was hit so dont assume things. I dont like to be called a bad driver by other bad drivers.

I race a FT T4, and my truck and someone elses got mixed up and I broke my castor block where the hinge pins go into it. I have had that happen before, but nothing has broken yet. I learned from TC racing that the energy has to go somewhere. If you hit something hard and everything in the suspension doesn't give, then the energy goes into the chasis and usually tweaks it. I feel it it's a solid hit, something should break to avoid doing damage to the chasis. Here's what I do, if you feel the same way about the energy transfer. I run the servo saver a little looser than most guys and have never broken an arm or anything else really. I think the servo saver absorbs a lot of energy when the hit is on the wheels. If the break was caused by being hit on the a-arm directly, I wouldn't think much can help. When parts like that break I'm glad those broke and something else like the chasis didn't. Hope this helps.

Hitting something, or getting hit by something... doesn't nessasarly mean your a bad driver... so your assuming that is what was meant. Seriously people hit things for a varitey of reasons... I think the original point was meant to say that if you get hit hard enough or you hit something hard enough... something's going to break, doesn't nessasarly mean their's a flaw in something, or that using a differnt part would have sovled the problem...

Now you're assuming I'm a bad driver or that's what I get from the post? See, this can go both ways and the :jest: was a way to say I was kidding with you. Whether you were hit or someone hit you, like the others said, the "energy" from the whack has to go somewhere and the arm happened to be the weakest point those particular times. Be lucky that you have only broken arms. We had a guy at our carpet track that got a T4 and seriously he was replacing front bulkheads, arms, caster blocks, and steering spindles on a WEEKLY basis. I had trouble keeping the front bulkheads in stock for awhile! Mind you though, this guy was a newbie on the carpet and not the best of drivers so I can't really blame the truck. Sorry if you thought I assumed things when making my joke.

Dyno raises a good point. If you hit a certain part in just the right area at the right angle it might not matter how hard the impact is. I have a ft t4 and have put it through some ridiculous landings off a triple and have come away clean, and have seen some break in somewhat minor bumps and scrapes.
Point being in offroad everyone is going to break some parts every once in a while. You are perhaps a little unlucky at the moment.
