Well, I have been eyeballing these since almost the day I got my Savy.
http://www.flextekrc.com/products/savage/arms-savage.shtml

These things flex more than plastic. Check out the video.

I know I am not the first to bring these up, but I have never seen them on anyone's truck.

Has anyone here used these?

I have taken the plunge and ordered the lower arms for now.

I'll update this thread with pics once I receive them. (shipped today)

Any input? Thanks.

man i cant wait to hear how they work out for u as i've looked at them several times and think they sound and look awsome but wasnt sure about buying them!!
 
The ultimate "if I had unlimited funds" part. Keep us up to date, I'd really love to see if they live up to the hype.
 
My buddy Zflyzone has those on his race Savage and swears by them. If I had the funds they would be on my truck right now.
 
WOW

The price is well......... Ouch!! I guess I better get out on the corner to score the extra funds needed for those.
 
Installed today.

First thing - these things are light. I didn't weigh them, but holding them and the plastic ones in my hand, they feel almost the same. But lighter than my buddies aluminum ones by far.

They have superior quality, and machined very well.

Installation was simple and they were a perfect fit. The pins slid right in.

I plan to take it out bashing this weekend. Not sure how to review "arms". They either bend or break, or they don't. I'll update here.

You crash it full speed into a parked car. If the rest of the truck is broken but the arms or okay than you know they are good. lol
 
LOL! Titanium is a weird metal. I actually own a crowbar that was made by a Titanium plant nearby. It's the only crowbar I'll ever need. It never breaks. It has a bend point, where I've actually seen it bend, but it just flexes back into shape? It's a really odd metal to be honest. I will say though, this crowbar wieghed in at 4lbs lighter than it's steel counterpart!
 
Took it to the BMX track today. Hit some great jumps. Landed some terrible ones. Some cartwheels.
But to no surprise, no damage to the arms.. at all.

Again, it's rather hard to review arms, so I will continue to update this thread with anything interesting I might find and the longtime condition of them.

All and all I highly recommend these arms and Flextek was great from the start. They answered a question I had about them via email within minutes and shipped the same day I ordered.

The price is steep, but it looks like these are 2nd to none. Even though they do not have adjustable upper arms, I will probably go ahead and order those soon too.

I wish they made more parts. Titanium TVP's would be sweet.

(I haven't measured yet, but with the shock options on the lower arms (photo 2), it looks like I can use 5B front shocks now!)
