James_m Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I’ve just bought a 1/5 scale petrol buggy from fs racing and had a small crash yesterday and one of the suspension arms has come away from the front end shock tower? This small tiny part has snapped Is this an easy fix if I can get the part? I also have a photo of the damage, any help would be much appreciated ??

Glencmp Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) The Lower wishbone Suspension arm seems quite delicate and easily break, Ive replaced 2 in 2 days might be better to order a couple just in case you should get 2 for around £18 Edited January 7, 2019 by Glencmp Add info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_m Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 It’s not actually the arm itself it’s what the arm attaches to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear0091 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 i roughed up the top of the little nug that kept on cracking then glued on a thin rectangle of aluminium which worked a treat for added strength and flexibility. Sorry i hav no pics to show you as i sold my FS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear0091 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 maybe i was just lucky but i never had to buy any more suspension arms after this small add on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
