Can't embed YouTube vids for some reason you can still click on the links up there, but check out the pictures of those other guy's Ichiba kits just breaking right in half causing crashes...

As you can see in my videos even when it was time to take them off they wouldn't cooperate, on both sides I literally had to handsaw the spindles off as you can see in my videos, here's a quote from my thread

I think a rule of thumb from now on for me, and it's something I just realized that the typical 1 year warranty is a generic MAde In China one, I will never trust it again and all the products I purchase from now on I will make sure not only to do research on them because everyone will have different experiences, but I'm gonna make sure the company stands behind their product with a multi year or a lifetime warranty. When a company offers that, then you know they really are confident in their product and there's obviously a good reason for that.




BTW check out how I solved the spindle problem, this is the only thing I could do without taking the whole arm off... Had to wedge my handsaw in there cut it so it would have some room to flex, got it unstuck and hammered it back out fairly easily at that point.

I went a little rage mode as you can see cut into the arm a bit, lol, didn't see that.... but anyway no big deal only a minor cut....
