home built +3 a-arms

[Fred]

what do you think

[Fred]

lets try again

[Fred]

top veiw i dont have the shock mount on them yet.
my uppers are only half done.

[JTRtrx250r]

Are you making them? I saw a guy w/ hm +3's at the arenacross, they looked kinda crude but were holding up to the track, Im thinking I'd be slightly iffy unless I knew they were proven, but thats just me;) :D

[Fred]

This is my second set . they should hold up pretty good. the part that holds the ball join is 1/4 inch thick

[dirtmomma]

I like mine :D:D:D they are +3's also & have held up WAY better than stock, have taken some HARD hits on the track & done damage to others thouh :devil: :macho

[dirtmomma]

The uppers are ALL newly made but the bottoms are partial stockers ;) the guy that did them is awesome he builds buggies/sandrails for racers in Az

[Fred]

yeah cool thats how i did my first set last season and in my first race ever i hit a guy on a yfz who spun out in front off me.
All i broke was a tie rod. on his i bent broke both arms and bent his shock.
luckly no one was injured and the guy was rather nice about it.
the only down side to those arms is that you can not replace the balljoints.

Yeah the ball joint thing is true but we are working on that :) think we are going to have him fix that issue. As for tie rods, mine are DOUBLE stregnth LOL, he took the stockers & cut them in 1/2 then added tubing in between & over the top of the old ones, they are HUGE LOL don't know if you can see them in the pic or not!

Yea I took our a Banshee last season went right up onto her left side just about right in her lap :eek: busted up her a arm ect good, then she's yelling AT ME to get my quad off of hers like I WANTEDD to be there(she's the one that spun out in front of me) LOL, broke her wedding ring too from driving up her hand :( ooppss thats why I don't wear jewlery racing :huh

Fred...I kinda like that design of the bottems, do you catch decent air w/ them? I gotta say Im impressed.. but also curious..

[Fred]

LOL I knew someone would ask that ;) actually for flattrack they are fine & for what I do BUT I would like to have some aftermarket ones but THAT'LL BE THE DAY :rolleyes: I do have a set of 400 stockers w/ some 400 arms I might try the shocks on it here soon, my friendly welder has returned from Az :D
I also may just take them off for the trails & just go w/ the 400 front end, yeah yeah yeah I know thats a bad idea TOO!! But it sucks on the trails trying to squeeze thru trees :o


Thanks JTRtrx ;) I thought he did a nice job when I first got them on people just had a fit about them being homeade yada yada but they are holding up GREAT & OUCH on the ring(Kate) :( dang see thats why i don't wear them ever pretty much!
