I've seen mention of machined lower arms by CRC in several places but can't find them on their website.Anybody have a link?

Irs is the one doing them. the only reason for lowering them is 1/12th cars.

Machined UPPER arms, I havent heard of them doing lower ones. I have them...Nice stuff :thumbsup: .

Later, Bret

Guess I misread somewhere.Yeah the uppers look nice.

hyperdrive sells them as well. 5 bucks a pair..

bob the lower machined arms form crc aren't available yet. the crc arms are completly machined not just removing some material form the bottom for ride height.

I have the uppers on my aggressor>>>they are very nice.. I dont know exatly what resin they are using for the parts But its a better coumpound than what the factory associated upper are.. I hope they release the bottoms soon... So far all Ive seen are the uppers and the steering blocks..

I was looking for a piece that was completely machined not just a modification of the poorly molded parts from Associated.

It would seem that people are talking about two or maybe three differnt things....

I know I had read a refferance to a possiblity that CRC was working on a newly designed front end that would have a lower A-Arm that actualy moved...

The IRS machined lower a-arms appear to be simply to get more ride height... You know what I'd like to see along these lines is to have like 3 degrees of caster machined into them... at least for the right side. However I actualy think it would be nice to have about 3 degrees on both sides... then you could shim the uper a-arm to add or take away a couple more on either side, etc... I think puting the caster into the lower a-arm would make for more consistant less dynamic caster then what we currently get with just shimming the top a-arms.

Associated had those 2 degree shims you can put under the A arms.

hope those help, a machined lower a-arm, not machining material off the bottom.

raceway has fully machined lower arms with adjustable length check them out :thumbsup:

Mike that what I was looking for,Are they available anywhere?

BOB i don't think they are. CRC is good at getting parts to the market quickly, so expect them soon. The upper a-arms are vary nice so i expect no less from the lower units.

Speedmerchant sells these machined lower arms for the Associated front ends. I have not tried them though.

Wow those things are nice. I have tried the RaceWay lower arms and did not like them. Never could get the screw to tighten enough to keep it from being sloppy. Maybe it was just me DUH!! :D

FYI the associated 2 degree shims are not very usefull if your already too low to the ground without them... I supose if I had machined arms that were shorter, then I could possibly use the shims then... but still at some point I'm back to wanting to get more clearance... I also supose if I wasn't trying to make a Hyper drive work, then the extra clearance would be less of a issue. (WIth the hyperdirve you've got those little devices that keep the front from moving side to side on their sloted holes)

I've use the Raceway arms now with great success.I would just like the lighter machined arms from CRC.Looking forward to their release.

Dyno Hyperdrive makes a thinner shim in all 4 frontend locator sizes.You shouldn't have a problem with foams and the thicker ones though.I run Murdock foams and the rims are a smaller diameter than BSR,TRC and Jacos.I still have a .100" shim on top of the thick locator with no ride hieght problems.

just a note Frank Calandra's machined lowered arms are not out yet. but he told me soon. they are .060 lower like the Irrgang ones that you can get. CRC also has lowered associated arms by .060 but frank can't stand the associated molding that stinks. you can replace a lower arm and have to change your caster settings to get back to where you were if you use the molded associated ones. that won't be a problem with frank's. Plus Frank as new shims in three sizes like .010 .020 and .030 that are color coded. call them up and tell him that Nash sent ya!

i like the idea of these... i like the aluminum lowers, but the extra weight in front makes the car feel different then i was used to... the delrin looks hot... any word on a price for them yet??

i also had problems with the aluminum ones, as far as screwing the caster blocks on.. they did not fit straight... and the arms are not properly spaced from the screws to the pivot ball.. if you get them make sure you shim inside the lower arm, to remain the same width across..

also i have the aluminum steering blocks.. they are hot.. perfect fit, and no slop.. my 1/8 inline axles fit right in snug.. i got mine in purple, they were 9 bucks instead of the blue ones for 20..i guess purple wasnt a hot seller...

Thanks erock

just you mace but everybody else gets a discount :p actually I am just trying to get some more free stuff from him!!!

Here is a GREAT NEW PRODUCT!! These are MCRC Specialties A.L.S (Adjustable Lower Suspension) Arms. They are machined Aluminum, and are FULLY ADJUSTABLE!!. You can raise and lower your front ride height in a matter of seconds by loosing the 2 "tie-down" bolts, and adjusting the height of the arm with the 2 set screws on the top. Comes with Lunsford turnbuckle and associated eyelet. Check out the photos of the arms and their instructions.

These are in use by nearly a dozen racers in the midwest already. I personally run them on my car, and they are great!! If I want a little more, or less rake in the car, or need a little more ride height, I can change it in just seconds!! No washers to fiddle with!
They are $62.95 a pair, w/Free Shipping!! I accept Pay Pal and Money Orders. If you are interested in a set just give me an email at: dsmsste@aol.com

i got to see the mc/rc arms in monroe this weekend.. they are killer coool

Wow, those look sweet!!

RC

Do they come in any other color than ugly gold?Red or blue would be really nice?

They are at least very interesting... I guess I'd have to try them before I'd say I thought they would work well...

I wonder how easily the eyelet and/or turnbuckle peices would get wacked out of shape in a accedental brush with something... Probably not any worse then a normal uper arm might... but with lowers like that, you'd have two arms with a semi fragial looking design.

trinity has aluminum lower arms they have used for years with the eye let on them.. ive never had a problem with mine.... the color i think is actually more of an orange color... all the mcrc stuff is that color... just get some oven cleaner or drano crystals, and take the anodising off...
