Andy's arms compared to Dynotech Klein

I recently bought a parts car that has Andy's arms on it. How does the length of these particular Andy's arms compare to the Dynotech Klein arms that folks use on the WOIN builds ? I believe these to be the middle of the three lengths of Andy's arms but I'm still confused as to how that compares to the other arms out there. Yes, I know the car is kind of a turd, but I gave the seller a surprisingly lower offer than he was asking so it's going to be the base of my build.

Sorry for the poor pictures, they are from the seller.

Thank you. I had read that thread a couple of times. It's hard for a rookie to fully grasp the whole thing with some of the naming nuances. Like the RPM Worlds arms actually being longer than the AE Worlds arms. Mainly my goal is to merge B4 parts with gold pan parts and I'm trying to determine where the Andy's arms will fit into that. A lot of the WOIN info on this board (and I have read every single thread with WOIN in it) doesn't seem pertinent anymore. For instance a lot of the builds were done before the re-releases were put out so parts availability was different. A lot of the threads were done before the B4 stuff became so common too.

Can someone check my conclusion here ?...........The Klein arms are longer than all of the common early era arms so therefore the truck front noseplate and bulkhead are needed. My Andy's arms are inline with normal lengths so I can use the buggy setup on the front rather than truck pieces and just modify later B4 series outer parts to change my wheel fitment ?

The reason I ask is that I have this coming

I paid 50 dollars delivered for that chassis. My plan was to use the tasty FT parts on my 4.1 RTR basher and then harvest the rest of the parts I can use for my gold pan build.

those rpm arms are already on a standard buggy nose in your picture :wink:

yes, use those arms with a standard buggy nose. if you want to use b4 wheels on the front, you should use this kit:
