Slightly softer material to my feelings. Still need to test and try them out.

I have just received 2pairs of medium fronts this morning and feel like they have more flex than the standard ones,
But same as above need to try them out really

I tried them front and rear. Too early to tell but I suppose it's meant generate more grip. They have more flex definitely, they've probably reduced the glass content of the plastic.

i have been racing with bmax4 rear arms and hubs for 8months on my bmax2mr. They are much softer. and i use 1.4mm stab @ rear for astro an indoor carpet. great car! Also 2x1.6 and 30 rear en 35 front oil. orange bmax4 front spring and long blue rear.

Little off topic but...

I agree, when I took them out of the package and mounted them up they are indeed more flexy . Measuring arms when they are still sealed isn't that smart

Reo, why are you using B-Max4 rear arms? Just because of the flex?

Anyone else tried the new "medium" arms? Do they generate more grip in low grip conditions??

I ran these last night and was happy with them,
Gave a nice bite on the front,
had a bit more flex for my offs which would have broken normal arms,
