Outcast Front suspension arm design change

[PittsburghJason]

Did anyone notice the design change on the front suspension arms which now have the steering tie rod bump stopping on it. The original arms that come with the truck have an arch to allow the tie rod to extend more.

New style on the left and original on the right.

Get the dremel.

Indeed. Noticed this as well. My Kraton 4s 2.5 factory arms were with the cut out. I had to replace one and it was without the cut out. Used Dremel to shave off some plastic. Not pretty, but efficient

I think it's the opposite. The one with the cutout is the new one. My v2 doesn't have the cut out but the v2.5 have. The replacement arms you have got are probably old ones.

Quite possibly so.

I agree. I probably got an old one right out of the package. So how do we get the new ones, maybe we have to order directly from arrma or just get a pulled set from ebay, I am guessing. Dremel for now.
