If any updated arms come through, please post. If the Caster arms are a direct fit, I may try them.
The arms you have now, Without boiling them are they very stiff? I supposedly got the most recent batch of truggy arms this week and was told they are supposed to be fine. I was not to receive them unless they were. I was told the reason the old arms were very stiff was that they had some carbon fiber mixed in them. True..??? I do not know but the ones I have in stock are now are flexible. If you want to try a set of Caster K8T arms along with the OCM ones let me know. The Casters are pretty cheap too but you have to buy 2 sets as each set comes with a front and rear lower together, not like the OCM that has them separated. I will try and make sure myself on my truggy that the caster ones fit this weekend and will know 100% only thing I can see might be different is the casters has e-clips on the rear upright lower hole and the OCM is captured so the hole might be a different size. Will update later on when I find out.
