bentvalve Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 well i have looked at both of those. i also looked at moose products,does anyone know if they are worth a shit? their kit comes with everything except shocks for around $850. don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they are fairly inexpensively made. They are probably alright f you just ride in the sand and don't do any jumping. What was wrong with the Janssenn and Quicksand arms?

letsgetthisdone Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 As for abuse....heim joints will put up with a whole fuckin lot of it. And on the size of the arms, if you ride in the woods, get +2+1, if you ride open trails and dunes where the "trail" never gets narrow, get +3+1.

ClimbAnyHill Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 You guys heard of Wicked? I saw these on ebay but don't know about them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WICKED-PROD...108112470QQrdZ1 Also saw these chrome Magnum's: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Magnum-Chro...100920586QQrdZ1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Quicksand, Wicked, and Janssenn are all great a-arms to consider. Honestly i would say Quicksand is the best of the bunch from everything iv read and has awesome customer service. Id love to recommend LSR, Laeger, or Rolldesign but plain and simple you cant even touch them for that kinda money. even a used set is 350-400ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentvalve Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 well i have it figured for $400 but it don't matter cause im sure i will end up with ones that are more expensive.loli think im getting my elkas from washburn.the a arms are up in the air right now.. don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 You know I can help you out with the A-Arms. Like I said the LSR Racng A-Arms will handle all of the abuse you give them then some. I can do you better than that 8 something price and thats with Lonestar breaklines and shipping for the racing A-Arms. I think you could get away with LSR Rec Arms, but if your getting the Elkas and top of the line everything else well like I said about strength. Laeger makes a great product but they dont offer them in the +1 forward anymore. I called I asked they simply dont press them that way for the Banshee anymore. One thing I dident mention, we got around it somehow, Roll Design sure do make nice products but that is for the unlimited budget. As for the 400 and under A-Arms I cant recomend you because I have never personaly ran them. If you do end up buying a set make sure they are +2+1 and chromoly dont settle for anything less. Heim Joints, caster and camber, and grease fittings are all good things to look for in A-Arms also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of their stuff is ok from what I hear, though I have never used any of it. I would steer clear of those Magnum a-arms. I am guessing they are fairly low quality.

2strokinit Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 im going to second that opinion! stay away from Magnum anything....I'm not sure about the arms...but i am on my 3rd axle carrier from them...everytime... the welds that hold the sprocket hub to the carrier and the brake rotor hub to the carrier have cracked 3 times now.....i paid 180.00 for it brand new....sent it back..new wone they broke...sent it back...new one broke...now i just paid my local shop to go overboard on the welding and permanantly fix the problem... the wicked ones look better quality wise.... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
