Lower Suspension?

I'd bet that redcat have removed the shock mount aka diff mount part becourse it gives a lot more space for mounting the shochs, and there fore you have alot more shocks to chose from, ex. hpi shocks. and normally when you upgrade one arm to alloy you upgrade them both, that's why they come in packages of 2. also the grupscrew in your lower arm stops it from getting any lower, the anjustment of either set grupscrew in each arm is used to adjust the maximum clerance.

Your not seeing the problem,I have both aluminum arms and would have put both on but to show the difference in ground clearance and the fact it is not a simple bolt on for stock replacement.I may in the future buy different shocks but for now I choose not to.I just wanted to upgrade the suspension parts a bit at a time.

Honestly, aluminum suspension arms aren't really worth it. The plastic arms are cheaper to replace, and you want some flexibility in that area. I'd rather have a cheap, plastic suspension arm take the brunt of the impact, because it'll absorb most of it. Aluminum will probably bend and take out the diff housing. Just my opinion.

I must have confused the crap out of the Redcat people cause still no response on this issue.RC DAD have you heard anything?It is not such an issue rite now working on the tires but I would either like a fix or return them and get the money back for some other mod.

I went in and talked to them. I showed them the difference between the parts. They are looking to the manufacture to see if the tab is an additional part they need, or if there is an arm that has the tab. I will be down there tomorrow again and I will see if they were able to get it resolved.
