RPM Trailing Arms for Traxxas UDR (Black) (2)
About this part
This is a pack of two optional RPM Trailing Arms for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer. The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer is a scale work of art with performance to match. However, RPM customers have reported the stock trailing arms are a weak link. If you’re tired of bending and breaking stock trailing arms, RPM has the answer!
What makes RPM versions so tough? They started by increasing the wall thicknesses by roughly 40% in the damage-prone areas around the shocks. They then added more material around the pivot balls by roughly 12%, using up all of the available room at the axle mount. They also squared off the bottoms of the Trailing Arms, giving them room to build their unique, reversible Trailing Arm Skid Plates (RPM81362 – sold separately). Adding RPM Trailing Arm Skid Plates to a set of our Trailing Arms will provide some of the best and toughest protection your ride deserves.
RPM Trailing Arms are manufactured in the USA and are molded from their engineering grade nylons, factory backed with a limited lifetime manufacturer breakage warranty. Bolt on a set today and never worry about fragile trailing arms again!
Features:
- Increased wall thicknesses by roughly 40% around the shock mounts
- Roughly 12% more material around the pivot balls
- Squared off body is less prone to bend
- Optional TRA81362 Skid Plates also available (sold separately)
- Replaces stock Traxxas TRA8544
Tech Notes: RPM Trailing Arms for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer replace stock Traxxas TRA8544 and are sold in pairs. RPM81362 Trailing Arm Skid Plates are sold separately.

Very strong and sturdy trailing arms! I think this better works without the skid plates. The skid plates do not sit flush and stick out resulting in getting caught in rocks and being ripped off. Beefier and better looking than the stock trailing arms.
Must have product, not only do they look better then stock but also much stronger
Perfect fit. Feel like better quality than the stock arms.
All three reviewers are verified owners who rate these black RPM trailing arms for the Traxxas UDR 5/5. They agree the arms look better than stock and feel stronger and of higher quality, and one reviewer says the fit is perfect. One reviewer reports that the skid plates used with these arms do not sit flush, stick out, and can catch on rocks and be torn off, and suggests running the arms without the skid plates. No disagreement appears across the reviews, but the sample is small.
