RPM Front A-Arms for Traxxas Rustler/Stampede/Slash (Blue) (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

Perfect fitment with the RPM front bearing carriers on the Stampede 2wd. Time will tell if these A-Arms hold up, but RPM’s reputation is legendary, so I’m not concerned with durability issues.
DOESN'T FIT WITH RPM BEARING CARRIERS. RPM looks and feels good. But they have lousy dimentional engineering. The hinge pin nub is wider than the stock arm which is great. But pair it with the RPM bearing carrier and the extra dimention of that part along with this one makes the two bind when the front wheels are turned left/right. Had to replace the bearing carriers with stock parts in order to clear the extra thickness of the hinge pin.
RPM is always an awesome upgrade ............................................................
RPM excelente articulo, buen servicio de amain hobbies
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 generally rate these RPM front A-arms highly, with most praising their look, feel and reputation for strength; one reviewer reports they handle hard bashing well and fit better than some alternatives, though breakage is acknowledged as possible. One verified owner on a Stampede 2WD reports good fitment with RPM bearing carriers and is withholding judgement on long-term durability. The main disagreement concerns fitment: a 2/5 verified reviewer found the wider hinge pin nub binds against RPM bearing carriers when steering, forcing a switch back to stock carriers. Several reviews are very brief or unrelated to fit, so the evidence base is limited.
