Aha, nearly ! they look a bit like Rich's (Rockwatts) on Zero, but theyre not, they are just the same as any normal arm, the axle cant rotate as you may guess it can. They have been for sale on that site for years but not seen any over here yet.

just figured it out ...... I think 
see Monkey's post on pulling his bolt :blink:
gives more off-road flex I guess by uncoupling at the pivot point
Can't see any other reason for this setup :dry:

Looking at the design of these arms I cannot understand how they would work without allowing the axle to twist under drive... :huh:
Looks wrong to me... and the front arms look like they have exactly the same mistake as we made with our first gen of arms...
