Has he flushed out his fuel tank? If I remember correctly, there was a notice about there being plastic filings in some of the fuel tanks that clogged up the filter. I'd take the tank off the truck, but about 1/4 tank of fuel in it, shake the crap out of it and empty it. Then check the fuel lines to see if there's something stuck somewhere. Also, replace the o-ring kit on the tank lid itself. Out of the box, it was prone to having issues as well.
I broke an RPM arm a couple weeks ago... but man, it took a beating up until it broke. The only problem I've had with the RPM arms is that they flex so much that they are breaking my axles on really bad impacts. Like when you case a jump at 3/4 to WOT. The arms bend so far that the axle just snaps at the joint. I bought a full set (including centers) off ebay for $23, so I have spares. But it's something to think about.
It definitly isn't a big enough problem for me to stop running RPM. I'm guessing the same thing would happen with stock arms, except the arms would snap as well. I'd be affraid of running steel cvd's with them though. You will end up bending them.
This is after casing a triple at WOT at a bmx park:

I wrecked about 100 other times that day... that one was the clincher at WOT. I was racing a couple savages with big dog engines in them. They didn't clear the jump either...
