Arm sweep is when your FF is wider than your FR. Consensus on RCTech and a few local experienced guys I've asked seems to be that it will give you more mid corner and exit steering. Although one person has said it gives more steering everywhere. So it might depend on how you do it.
My understanding and limited experience says that a wider front track width will give less agressive steering, and narrower front track width makes the car more aggressive. So I'd suspect that going with a wider FF (wider overall front width) will probably give you more middle and exit steering, without making the car much more aggressive, but going with a narrow FR (narrower overall front width) might give more middle and exit steering, combined with a more aggressive feel. That's pure speculation, though, as I've never personally tried arm sweep.
