First of all, I have never heard of Bateman a-arms, so thats why they could of broke, I always buy from a well known company such as lonstar or laegers. Next, I have worked with GT Thunder a lot and they will probably fix what is broken since you have had them for only a few days. E-mail GT Thunder and ask them what they can do!

Do +3 a-arms feel too wide or do they seem perfect, I bet they look pretty good on your 400.

Yea Nate at gt thunder said they sell a lot of them and i asked about a warranty and everything like that, he didnt give me anything in writing, but he said that both gt thunder and bateman take care of their customers and if i ever had any problems to send them back and they would fix the problem.

For the one ride I did have I liked them a lot. They give the quad a really wide stand and let me corner so much faster.

My quad is almost wider than it is long. +12" on the rear and +6" on the front.

Its great, except in the really tight stuff, sometimes i have to go on different trails than my other riding buddies because i cant fit, but i would rather be really wide, then tippy.

+4 axles are not +4 per side, they are +4 total.

Duh re-read my statement. +4" axel, +2" tires (times two for two tires) and 2" offset rims (times two for two rims)

So it would be 4+2+2+2+2=12"

I don't want to fight, but you are wrong DerekHonda, you can't count the tires and the wheels at the same time, the tires don't make that kind of difference, they are +2 from the stock one's, but remember that this two are: one on the inside and one on the outside of the wheel, so you have only +1 outside of both sides.
So 4+4+2=10.
But, you are the first that I hear that count's the tire, most of the people only count the axle and the wheels.
