cracked A-Arm, rideable?

[trex trx400]

Ok here's the deal my brother wrecked my 400 says he hit a ditch, here's the aftermath. This just happened. I am def. going to buy a new lower a-arm but my friends and I had a ride planned this weekend. Really doubt I'll be able to get one by this weekend so do you guys think this is ok to ride. I ride pretty hard through the trails but rarely jump it. Thanks

I would say even trail riding would be a no go. All it would take is a rock or a stump and that thing is gonna go.

some friends just suggested welding over it. I'm still trying to find a A-arm that's local. Thanks.

for a quick fix i would try and bend it back by pounding it with a hammer just alittle bit and getting it welded by some one that can weld and it should with stand a good trail ride and some miner jumped just dont got jumpen a 40 table and your good. i bent my lonestar lower a arm cut it bent it back and had it welded by a professional and i have been hitten 30 footers and no problem what so ever. the weld job should only cost like 20 or 30 bucks for a quick fix. let me know how it goes.

Bend it back and weld it back together for now. Probably would be fine honestly if you welded it.

that looks about like my 250 after i hit a tree. lol i don't think your brother run off in a ditch. it should be fine after you weld it, and a replacement arm isn't that much off ebay
