If you stick the screw through the washer deal then apply red loctite to just the end of the screw they work well. You definitely don't need any loctite on the cap . Occasionally the little caps still come loose but the screws don't. IMO the only thing that loosens screws faster than my Wraith is a Harley. I never leave home w/o some tools. | |

got mine today and installed, very tight clearences. ihave the shock/lowering kit and had to move the rear shock forward a notch. the quality is good on these and the pic doesn't do justice. i dont think i need the sway bar in back as it is realy stiff with the softest bar. still gotta tune some more but over all good product i believe. |

Got them too. Took a week from BizarreHobbies in Cali to the Netherlands. Funniest bit? It took only 1day from BizarreHobbies to the UPS terminal... Took 3days from UPS to LAX Yet, it took only two days from the moment the flight lifted off, and to my front door.. Go figure..( tracking can be fun sometimes) The sway-bars are a very VERY good fit. They look gorgeous! The edges of the arms are chamfered nicely. The finish is beautiful (rc4wd can learn something there). The whole works like a charm combined with my g-made shocks (3 holes, 350 wt) I used the connection on the longest end of the arm, and, despite the stiff feeling, they provide the much-needed stability at speed. The Wraith really feels like a rock-racer now. I also ordered a locker. The Stainless steel is also finished very nice. It was Almost a shame to put it in the pumpkin.. For the price, ( $9.88 ) they are a steal, and quite a bit sturdier than the " heavy-duty" - *snerk* pffft.. I broke the front one with only a stock 550 on 2cells.. Heavy-duty?? My furry behind..- Axial ones. The diff-covers they have...hmmm... Very thin&flimsy, and the fit and finish is so-so. Poisons are muuuuch nicer. Last edited by Jay-Em; 11-16-2011 at 07:17 AM. |

Nah.. The only problem is that scratching it in public gets me some strange looks.. Last edited by Jay-Em; 11-16-2011 at 08:24 AM. |

So far the sway bar ARMS have held up . Had 2 ballcup's break on the fake bar 15 minutes into a trail run LOL - something probably reached up and grabbed em'. Put some rod ends on it - Looks more realistic and should eliminate the "Ballnuts" . Bottom up for a look at how the arm's are secured. http://www.desertrides.com/features/...s/DSC01859.jpg Last edited by DiEzel; 11-16-2011 at 09:19 AM. |

Ooohh.. Nice. I gather the blue thingy is to be able to dis-connect the sway bar in the middle? If so..genius.. Oh..wait.. Read over the " fake"- bit.. Hmm..still.. *brain-cogs churning away* Last edited by Jay-Em; 11-16-2011 at 09:35 AM. |
