This is an option for the Rear A-frame The Traxxas (electronic stampede and rustler) electric suspension arms. The hubs mount directly to the bulkhead, and these attach to the bulkhead.
The Traxxas Rustler is the only vehicle that requires this.
There is indeed a stampede and a rustler
Selected User Reviews For RPM 80182 Rear A-Arms Black E-Monster Jam, Rustler, Stampede Black
I like the RPM arms that I can purchase in different colors, but each of the ones I have purchased required a fair bit of sanding before they can properly fit hop-ups. Gear boxes at the top. The hop-up controller should work without any problems, except those Traxxas control arms don't fit the hop-up controller We all know how hard it is to sand a gear box. It would have been a good idea for RPM to do the same thing. It may take a bit of sanding to get the fit you need, but I'm still satisfied with the results.
Taking the factory arms off of a Traxxas RC and replacing them with RPM parts should be the first thing you do. It will be difficult to abuse the factory arms. We have yet to break one and we have all of them on our RCs. In order to take care of our needs, RPM developed a product exactly to fill that need, and then marketed it at a very fair price. Isn't that exactly what we're looking for in anything.
It is very cost effective, and they seem to be quite well made. Time will tell since this is still plastic, but it does seem a small bit If I need metal ones in the future, I might buy them. I just couldn't resist these bargains!.
I can't fit my STOCK Traxxas stampede vxl with this part. Only one side fit after a lot of force and removing material, and the left side wouldn't fit near the wheel where it attaches. Screw would not go through second hole no matter what I tried. By the time I finish this, my hands hurt and I just can't stand it anymore. A Traxxas part has been ordered.
The pin holes for the rear a arms do not line up with Rustler. To get it to fit, it would need to be heavily sanded.
Then after 3 months, I noticed that my rear was a little achy As a result of bending, arms appeared to "arch" and the rating was reduced to three stars. In the future, I might go with metal.
So far they are holding up fine after a week of use, but we're not sure how long they will last.
A- grade for a good piece of work The arms are RPM parts as usual. To make them fit my Rustler VXL, I had to trim them. The stock is a better option.
