That is a Monster Pirate front end. I like the aluminum bulks, but those A arms look fragile.

DAVID good call going for the OFNA CNC arms and bulkheads. the parts are more pricey than the powerline stuff. but durability is much better. you always get what u pay for. THE ofna alum bulks are very very STRONG especially where the tower mounts. The powerline uses weak metal ears where the tower mounts and they break off easily.
Also good choice on not gettin the upperarms, i dont think they are necessary.. i bought them anyways.. but when i look back on it, ive never broken a single front upper arm on my Monster Pirate.
Unregistered, the arms are actually very beefy. the design is good. And ive been running them for a while now and have not a single problem yet. Im sure if you hit something hardenough they might bend. but so far they are holding up well. its quite thick aluminum.
I think you have a very durable setup now. and aside fron knicks and scratches it should last a long time.
