They are suppposed to have poor range, but in practise I don't find them that bad. They lack Arbalests, 2 armor upgrades and Thumb Ring (and Handcannoneers), but still get Bracer, Heavy Scorpions with Siege Engineers and Cannons. They also get surprisingly ok Heavy Cavalry Archers, yet quite frail, with Parthian Tactics, both Stable technologies also backed by both Hussars (a classic Mongol/Turk/Magyar combo) and tough-as-nails Elephants, negating their lame armor, with them acting as meatshields.

On top of that, Arambai (in groups) can wreck even units that are meant to counter them, whereas thanks to their free Lumbercamp techs, an early archer-and-spear/militia rush isn't a bad idea..
