If you own a Polaris AXYS RMK you have heard of, or experienced a-arm failure from impacts that are less than what you would have expected with the the Pro-Ride chassis.
You have only 3 choices with this knowledge'
First live with it and do your best to avoid hidden rocks buried just below the snow level and you can be pro-active and run non-carbide ski skags to reduce chances of damage. Then replace a-arms when they fail. The problem with this is it can wreck your weekend and parts are often back-ordered and expensive.
Secondly you can immediately remove the stock arms and replace with after market arms. This will cost at least $400 US or $600 CDN.
Thirdly you can install our new Arm Candy, a-arm braces that protect the most vulnerable part of the lower a-arms. The stock arms are great but they do narrow down drastically at the rear of the lower arm close to where they mount and most of the failures we have seen are at this point.
We did not design our braces to stop damage from severe crashes but these sleds should take hits at least as well as the Pro-ride chassis does.
$199 CDN for the kit, that is about $145 USD.
The first picture is the typical failure the braces are designed to stop.
The second picture is a front on tree crash which the arm fails in the front and the braces are not designed to stop. This is due to loss of control and not unseen rocks below the snow surface
I will get some better pictures soon.
