RPM Front or Rear A-arms for Traxxas Slash/Stampede 4x4 (Black) (2)
About this part
They’re here! RPM A-arms for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 are everything you’ve come to expect from RPM and more!
Features:
They eliminated the slop in the suspension system, tightening the tolerances around the hinge pins, reduced the fore and aft movement of the A-arms at both the inner hinge pin and at the axle carriers by better than 90% and improved the durability dramatically (they’re made by RPM, enough said). As a bonus, they cut 6.5 grams of weight off of each A-arm! That’s a total loss of just under one ounce of weight simply by replacing your stock A-arms with the RPM versions!
We can’t forget about how much better aesthetically the RPM versions look either. RPM A-arms carry over the RPM traditional look with our 30 degree leading and trailing edges, and huge bosses for the shock and sway bar mounts. Additionally, you now have the option of a bit of color with either blue or black to choose from.
RPM A-arms are molded in RPM trademark blend of incredibly durable nylons and are backed by an industry leading warranty. We proudly stand behind our products! Designed, manufactured and produced right here in southern California in the USA!
Notes:
RPM A-arms for the Traxxas Slash are sold in sets of 1 – left and 1 – right A-arm in each package. Two packages will be needed to complete one truck. The upper hinge pin hole of the rear axle carriers cannot be used (not a stock location for the Slash 4x4) due to strengthening designs that reduce the clearance around the rear axle.

These A-arms for the slash 4x4 i put on my Stampede 4x4 and i took it to my local skate park and i jumped it about 12 to 14ft in the air and come down on the right front a-arm and nothing broke but if i didn't have the big bores i would have bent a shock shaft.
Installed nicely and haven't broken them yet, they have a really close tolerance on the slash ultimate's "extreme" duty plastic driveshafts but haven't caused any problems yet.
Awesome Product. They will eventually bend with enough abuse. But hands down the best addition to my Slash 4x4
These things are Quality,and they aren't bluffing. Strong, dependable, and with a superior, and better disign out doing the stock arms. They will always be ready to take on most abuse.
After a trip to the local skate park and literally a few jumps later I broke a front control arm. I ordered 2 sets and now i have the stocks as spares. These seem like they are as brittle.
Reviewers generally rate these RPM A-arms highly, with most reporting they held up to hard bashing and jumps, including one owner who landed a 12–14 ft jump without breakage. Several note the arms fit well and are durable, though one reviewer reports breaking a front control arm after only a few jumps, describing the arms as brittle. Another says they will eventually bend under enough abuse. One reviewer reports close tolerance with the Slash Ultimate's extreme-duty plastic driveshafts without issues. Some reviews refer to a 2WD Slash and a friend's experience, which may not apply to the 4x4 variant listed. Overall sentiment is positive, but durability reports are mixed.
