RPM Front A-Arms for Traxxas Rustler/Stampede/Slash (Black) (2)
About this part
This is an optional RPM Front A-Arm Set, for the Traxxas Slash 2wd, Nitro Slash, e-Rustler & e-Stampede 2wd. These arms are built to withstand abuse. Plus, they shave some unwanted unsprung weight as well! RPM Front A-arms are nearly 25% lighter than stock versions of the same A-arms, and are backed by RPM's world-renowned breakage warranty. Additionally, RPM has increased clearance areas in the outer portion of the A-arms to allow increased droop travel when used in conjunction with RPM oversized bearing carriers (RPM80372 & RPM80382).
RPM front A-arms for the Electric versions of the Traxxas Slash, Rustler & Stampede are sold in pairs and are available in black, green, blue and red. These A-arms are molded with what is fast becoming an RPM trademark design of angled leading and trailing edges to reduce frontal edge mass and improve the a-arm’s ability to ride up and over tall obstacles instead of slamming into them. RPM A-arms are extremely rigid for superior ride and stability over the roughest tracks and terrain.
Features:
- Nearly 25% lighter than stock
- Stronger material resists flexing and breaking
- Increased clearance in outer area of arms

Nice fit and finish. They go on in minutes using all the original hardware and none of the geometry changes so you don't have to retune your steering and suspension
They feel sturdy, the fit and finish is really nice, they have open slots compared to the stock all filled in ones. They are 4 grams Lighter then stock. No mold lines, bolt right up no custom fitting.
Ok here is the truth: RPM Front A-arms are the perfect combination of strength and durability, with just a touch of flexibility to save you when all other parts would have exploded like a parked smart car vs. a speeding 80,000lbs. semi truck. Yes they can break, but in a hammer like way: well used or a completely random fluke. I've never had any issues and they fit better then Mechanics Gloves. Take it from someone who bashes his over-weight, over-powered slash almost daily. R. Rugged P. Performance M. Masterpiece
Reviewers consistently rate these black front A-arms highly for fit and finish, describing them as sturdy and easy to install. One reviewer reports fitting them in minutes using the original hardware, with no change to steering or suspension geometry. Another notes they bolt up without custom fitting, have no mold lines, and feature open slots rather than the stock solid design, saving about 4 grams. A long-time basher says they hold up well to frequent hard use, though parts can still break under heavy impacts. All three reviews are positive; none report a serious problem, and the sample is small.
