hellfire issues
 
recently acquired a hellfire for a decent price.. but so far ive gone through 2 front arms without doing any bashing just some bad landings at track.. they always seem to break where the sway bar connects to it. its always some stupid issue too.. like the sway bar poped out got under the drive axle and boom broke arm .. is this an issue with the hellfire? would i be better off selling the roller and getting something newer? what would be a good truggy roller to throw the 4.6 in for around 200? or should i keep it and just get alum arms?

I have a hellfire and have never broken anything on it. I used to race it onroad and have taken some full throttle shots to the wall and nothing broke. Just out of curiosity, what was the temp outside when you were running? I know if it's pretty cold out plastic will get more brittle.

50s.. could it be the lumpy yard i have? did soe testing and my grass is short but patchy.. and it always cracks at the part where sway bar connects to arm.. as if the sway bar is putting to much pressure there but youd think it would just pop out.

50's shouldn't be too bad, but I can't remember running mine in that cool of weather either. The few hard hits mine has taken, the sway bars always popped off, I just pop them back on and keep rollin'. You might try running without the bars and see if it still has the same issue.
