RPM X-Maxx upper & lower A-arms

RPM have introduced a set of upper and lower A-arms for the Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck. The redesigned items do away with breaking issues associated with the original parts. Starting with the upper A-arm, RPM used their proven A-arm designs from past builds to create an upper support structure sure to handle even massive abuse while the lower A-arm has better ground clearance than the stock arms and it also features a cross section based off of the company’s proven 1/5th scale HPI Baja A-arms. A double support beam on the lower arms spread impact energy over a larger area, meaning hard hits won’t lead to breakages. Being of an universal fit the arms, moulded from RPM’s own nylon blend, fit on any corner of the truck and four sets are needed to equip one full vehicle.
