Has anyone used or seen American Star a-arms? They are sooooooooo cheap, price wise. I am going to order some a-arms and saw the add for these. They are only $520 for the chrome and have heim joints. Any other opions on a-arms would be helpful. I just installed a pair of Kryptons on a 400ex and they seem to be fairly good quality.

Shollz what kind of off set do you have on your wheels? Nice pics by the way. Where did you get your a-arms from?

I've been told that they are junk. Also that they are "last rebel racing" with a new name, so that should tell you something.

I have never dealt with last rebel. I saw that they were .120 mild steel and that concerns me but I think that is also what the Raptors frame is made from but I'm not sure. Any thoughts on which a-arms to use.

I would definately steer clear of this company. OregonMXracer is correct. This company is under the same ownership as the now, out of business "Last Rebel Racing". They are very famous for ripping people off, and making trash parts. Shollz, good luck with your a-arms. I hope you have good luck with them.

The absolute truth of quad riding/racing is "You get what you pay for." If you learn anything else from this post, remember that.
