Questions?? TLR 22 Front Arms Solution?

Hello everyone - hoping you can help me. I have a TLR 22 5.0 DC Elite and broke one of ym front arms. Horizon said they are discontinued and there is not a single set yo be found on ebay or any other board I have searched.

I was told that there are 2 options that could work with a little dremel work and some shims for the hinge.
1: Associated B6.4 front arms
2. Mugen MSB1 arms

has anyone had any success with these? or is there another solution? i head 22S arms but would lose the use of the sway bar...

Try to find a cheap 3.0 or 4.0 parts car or use the 22s arms and figure out a different way to mount swaybar. If you are running on a surface suitable for a front swaybar you would probably be better off upgrading to the 22x..Think the b6 arms would require the rest of the parts to get the track width correct. I have both cars, I can measure them if you need..

That said arms are cheap I'd buy the mugen arms and see if you can make it work..

From Andrew Wilder on FB:

Losi 22 5.0 Mugen front arm mod

I recently broke my last left front A arm and parts are getting hard to find. I read on Facebook someone did this mod so for $16 I gave it a shot. The arms appear to be very similar dimensions and geometry. Hinge pins in relation to shock locations are virtually identical! You will lose a shock hole adjustment and a VLA settings, are the only downsides.

Drilled out inner hinges with an 9/64 bit. Outer hinge with a 3.5mm. add shims to space the shocks away from turn buckles. Suspension moves nice and free once adjusted.
