Yes, as long as the RPM rear bumper mount is used as well.
No, they aren't going to do it. The rustler's wheelie bar set is 80902, but I'm not sure if it's the low-visibility version. I hope this has been of assistance. Have fun
Slash 2WD and Slash 4x4 models are compatible.
Yes, but go with the rc airplane solid rubber wheels, which have been around for 4 years and are still barely worn. Replacement tires for the traxxas wheels cost $12.
Selected User Reviews For RPM Low Visibility Wheelie Bars, Black
Because the wheels do not ride on bearings, they will not spin freely when the screws are tightened. The wheels pass through a metal sleeve, which in turn passes through a screw with a washer on each side. When you tighten the screw, the whole wheel tightens down and won't spin, so I decided to sand down a little of the plastic on the wheel (shown in one of the photos) so the metal sleeve would be longer than the wheel and the screw would tighten on the sleeve and the plastic wheel would rotate around the static sleeve, but the wheel is kinda tight on the sleeve and didn't allow free spinning, so I Instead, I assume you're supposed to back out the screw a little so the wheel and sleeve have a little play and the sleeve can spin freely around the screw, but I'm worried that as you spin the wheels while riding on the wheelie bar, the screw could tighten on one side and loosen on the other. Finally, I gave up and bought the Traxxas upgraded wheels with bearings, which happen to fit perfectly on the RPM wheelie bar as long as you put 3-inch tires on them. 4 washers between the wheels and the wheelie bars (comes with all the necessary hardware to make the wheels fit on these bars). The only problem is that the rubber tires easily come off those wheels, but I'm hoping tire glue will solve that (I'm still waiting for tire glue to arrive in the mail, so I can't confirm). I like the bars, and they did a great job of protecting my RPM bumper. I didn't like how stiff the wheels were, but that could have been due to incorrect setup. In any case, I wish it had bearing-equipped wheels. The rpm wheels are still present in the two photos that show the entire car.
When the throttle is pressed on 3s, it stands up. These wheelie bars are tucked away out of the way, so I can ride around on the racetrack while also having fun on the street. The only thing I'd change are the wheels. They don't have bearings, and the plastic deteriorates over time. A spacer will be required to fit the Traxxas aluminum wheels with rubber tires.
I like how simple the design is and how effective it is.
It sort of works, but it's almost TOO low-profile; it saves my body, but it still backflips on 3S. Even now, I spend half of my time on my roof.
As long as you don't use a Pinion gear with more than 22 teeth, it works great. br>br>Keep in mind that this only works with the RPM bumper; it won't work with the stock one.
These fit perfectly with the RPM Slash 4x4 Rear Bumper Kit. I like how they're unobtrusive, and unlike Traxxas, they don't have any of that adjustable nonsense. I despised having to zapstrap the Traxxas one because it was always falling apart. This is the ideal angle for days of wheelie fun. Much more durable than the stock Traxxas wheelie bar (of which I've broken two).
They aren't far back or low enough, which isn't what I had hoped for. I created my own.
I race dirt oval cars and popped a wheelie on the straightaway with this product, and I would highly recommend it.
