did you notice an improvement with the arms cut?

was thinking of cutting the arms also...but have been holding back.

thanks
Being the first event many of us had been to with the Mi5 that had that level of grip, we were all trying different things; I opted for the super soft flexy setup and worked diligently to make it fast but to no avail.. Tim had more of a mid range setup ( full arms, yok pink and blue, mid motor) and Adams was the most stiff ( full arms, Shuie greens and some pretty thick oil, rear motor) .. the others were in between Tims and Adams. On low to mid traction, I prefer the cut arms. They actually made the car feel quite good on the high grip.. just wasn't fast through the corner..
