    Mine arrives tomo - not many left out there! I'm going to WD40 soak the front arms overnight which makes them much more resilient to snapping. I also have seen tightening the servo saver is a must as I've seen allot of comments online from customers think the servo has failed. You can superglue the thread of the top of the saver which holds it just enough so it doesn't slack off but can be cracked off if need. I also will be reducing the brakes via a hack from Razor RC on YouTube to reduced lawn darting the truck as I've seen happen alot out of the box due to brakes being set too high from the factory.  The Helion Avenge front arms are out of stock everywhere at present in the UK (Nov '20)  so we will see how she holds up to rest of our RC family. I'm loving everything about it so far and will post up a small vid or pics very soon !

     

    My personal experience is value for money is great but back up for spares is very bad. Depending on what you're going to be doing with it, it's always in the back of your mind that if something goes wrong it's a nightmare to repair. 

    I've done the razor rc brake mod as it was much needed, had no bother with servo saver or suspension arms(yet) but I haven't done any serious bashing with mine, the body has taken a lbit of damage due to being on its roof/spoiler a lot but that could be bad driving I guess.

    Yes I am, it was $28 (just over £21) so not cheap but they seem to be the only place with any stock and as I said it was here in four days from despatch from California

    Ah OK thanks for the info, at least I know where I can get some if needs be.

    I ordered two sets of arms direct from associated, it was $28 delivery from California but it arrived in 4 days so pretty good really! Went for a 2 hour bash with the new arms today and so far so good! I've emailed RPM and they are looking to make aluminium versions in the next few months.

    Are you UK if so what we're shipping costs like, they seem to be the only place with any stock?
