Now granted I did not read all of them but I did read the majority of them, and there's really no ill affects of using them. Now that's also open to interpretation, people over tighten when installing them, or use thread locker that's not made for a plastic, these things can obviously cause problems either right away or down the road.
There's another side to that Chris. U don't install them and don't get any cracks, until your out of warranty, then u get cracks. Unhappy days. I mean who really knows if strong-arms prevent cracks, but I sure have seen a lot of threads about cracks around the motors. From what I've read on this forum is that having them on doesn't hurt anything, and I'm pretty sure I have only read one thread where the pilot said that he developed cracks after installing strong-arms.

Wouldn't that make them loose then and a chance of coming out?Another thing you might consider is backing out the wing screws an eighth of a turn
I just sent mine back after flying it close to 150 miles... Developed a couple of hairline cracks and sent it back. I sent it out on a Monday got it back on the following Monday .... Fly your bird. I even think they replaced a motor and gimbal is perfectly straignt now. If you have a problem send it in.They were incredibly responsive. i received an RMA the following day and it took about 7 days total to get it back.Cracks are pretty much a thing of the past since DJI made changes to the shell. Personally, I wouldn't install them since DJI covers the issue under their warranty. Installing them won't hurt anything though.

Also, if you still get cracks with them on, take them off and put original screws back in. Send in for warranty and happy days. My bird is now out of warranty so doesn't really matter anymore. I have had mine on since the strong arms came out and still no cracks. So I guess they don't cause cracks. Mine is a first run P3 Pro that is a year old this month.I wouldn't bother
2 options, 2 outcomes each
1) you install them
1a) you don't get cracks - happy days
1b) you get cracks, you may have caused them from the extra weight, extra length, tightening too much. May or may not covered under warranty as you've altered it
2) you don't install them
2a) you don't get cracks - happy days
2b) you get cracks, may have been avoided by adding strong arms. It's replaced under warranty - happy days
I only see one bad outcome and it happens when you install them.
