They look like bent walsh arms. A little skimpy looking.

They are a prototype gibson. Pat brown has been running them all year. They are not sure if they are gonna make them. And if they do they will still offer the old style too!

Considering the rider, I would say if it has a Gibson sticker on them, its Gibson A-arms.
If they wernt Gibson, dont you think the real maker of the a arms would be raising hell if he ran another brand sticker on them?

Yes they are the new designed gibson a-arms. They still have some flaws to work out. I believe they will continue to run these over the gull wing design in the future races. We'll see

Farr CANNOT run Maxxis tires, I'm quite sure he's under contract with his sponsors.

Riiiiiggghhhhtttt......so....when the wheel was invented, and it obviously worked well.......other people should have come out with the "square" or the "triangle" just to be different? Because someone obviously already had dibs on the "circle" idea........Come on.....most a-arms are similar designs to another a-arm......some work, some don't. Why go with one that doesn't work if you can go with one that does?

If I didn't know u better....and I don't....It almost sounds like your trying to spread around some rumors..... I'm guessing you really don't know alot about Gibson LT A- arms the thoery behind the design or how there made??Not to mention the countless hours of testing and retesting that went into the production of the first generation of arms! If you did I'm sure you would not have made such an dumb statement..... Maybe some people will understand and NOT think your being a bully!

Popo, they aren't trying to "copy" ARS-FX. ARS-FX is a great front end to run, don't get me wrong, but these Gibsons are more along the lines of the Laeger, JB, and Viper style a-arms. Notice, straight a-arm all around without the bend at the end. They look nicely built.

If anything.... They look more along the lines of walsh race craft pieces. They look alot like my Gen2s(the first a arms sold by walsh) instead of the newer design. The second pic is of Farr anyway not Natalie. Farr runs walsh a arms too. I simply heard that Brown went to gibson and told him that the gullwings were chit. He then set out to make the new gibson a arms. This may or may not be true. They are definately the damn axis whatever the hell the call it catostrophie. To me, it looks like a mix of the new LSR and older Walsh.

About the tires on farr..

Alot of the pros run grooved and non grooved turf tamers in the rear too at high point and I belive redbud, buddscreek, soo I'm sure as long as he has the fronts he is fine?
