    Warning tarantula 4x4, dangerous product

    i bought them brand new. yeh it does look rusty, but i reckon that the weld wasnt a complete seal and water has got in. i deep clean the underneath twice a month and the arms have only been used on 2 pay and plays and about 4 green lane trips so they haven had a hard life

    anyone running alternative fuel
