Has anyone done this? Comments will be appreciated.
I've got the HPI 87245 suspension upgrade kit and HPI A712 shocks currently fitted to my X. I'm currently investigating upgrading the lower and upper arms to alloy. Is this beneficial? Has anyone done this or does anyone know if the Integy arms will fit with the HPI suspension upgrade kit?

I would say they shoud fit, but not sure why you would alloy arms? I think if you are racing you would want to stick with the plastic/nylon to save on weight, another thing to remember is that alloy will bend where the plastic/nylon flexes and returns back to orginal shape usually.
Back to your question, I would have to think that those parts should fit that suspension upgrade. It gives you the shortened upper arm turnbuckles, and that is the only thing that gets changed on the orginal arms(I beleive) in that suspension setup.

:microsm: :microsm: I Had To Buy A Set Of New Upper A-arms (smacked A Tree). I Bought The Adjustable Ones From Integy, So Far So Good. If The Site Says It's For The X It Will Fit. Peace.
