trickedcarbine Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 It's just an upper arm. But pretty cool for fellas cutting weight. I wouldn't try a lower arm though. https://www.pct.edu/academics/icet/automated/CarbonFiber.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

registered user Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I read some stuff on cf top/bottom a-arms and they sound pretty damn strong but the tests and design was carried out by engineers at a university not some kids in the backyard. as with any part, regardless of material, it has to be designed correctly for the application. theres plenty of other varaibles as well like the dude doing the welding or type of glue holding the carbon parts together, just to name a couple things. I wouldn't recommend any lamen make their own cf parts for a structural application new gt350 has cf wheels. dang near half the weight of aluminum http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/news/a26046/fords-carbon-fiber-gt350r-wheels-use-nasa-technology/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Let me ask anyone here on BHQ dis...why is CF even something you want to use on a Banshee with suspension?There are sled guys out here that have been beating the hell out of them for years. F1 guys have ran them for years. Drag cars have ran them for years. It's all a matter of who's doing it and how. That said, I'd never build my own arms, but I know a handful of fellas I would have no problem paying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Anyone seen the +2 I-shock long travel a-arms. They have a alloy upper arm's and they are well built, I cant see myself ever braking them. I have a set on my TRX they are cool because they are crazy light and are more adjustable than some of the other aftermarket arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
