RPM Rock Rey front lower arms

RPM have announced the release of new front lower arms for the popular Losi Rock Rey vehicle. The Rock Rey is known to be a monster of a performer and the RPM front arms promise a much needed increase in strength. While RPM A-arms are stronger than stock, they’ve also been designed with added bellcrank clearance to protect that hard-to-get bellcrank from heavy, full compression suspension slams. Added protection means fewer trips to the pits and more time on the rocks. The new arms are also extremely light, weighing in at 11 grams per pair lighter than stock and less unsprung weight means faster acceleration and braking as well as better suspension performance. The arms are sold in pairs and replace stock Losi #LOS234011.

The set includes two battery hold downs, two LiPo battery supports and 6 shooter thumb fasteners along all needed mounting hardware.
