RPM 80702 Front/Rear A-Arms Black Slash/Stampede 4x4 Black

The RPM 80702 Front/Rear A-Arms for the Traxxas Slash and Stampede 4x4 receive a generally positive reception from users, particularly for their improved durability and ease of installation. Customers who frequently engage in intense bashing and off-road activities commend these A-arms for their strength, often noting that they outlast the stock Traxxas parts which tend to break under similar conditions. Installation seems to be a user-friendly process, with many reviewers stating that they fit perfectly with the existing hardware. The quality of the materials used in these A-arms appears to be a notable upgrade over the factory options, with several users mentioning they have had to rely less heavily on replacements since switching to RPM parts. This is particularly beneficial for those who regularly experience breakage. Some customers have acknowledged that the RPM arms are slightly longer than the stock versions, which could impact car handling but also may enhance stability in some setups. However, it's worth noting that there are minor design Constraints; specifically, shock protectors from factory arms may not sit correctly with the RPM A-arms on the Stampede 4x4 model. RPM has clarified that this design decision was made based on the original Slash model's specifications, which did not have those shock guards included. Despite this, many users have reported that the A-arms perform exceptionally well in practice, even during high-impact situations. In summary, the RPM 80702 A-Arms are seen as a robust and favorable alternative to standard Traxxas A-arms, particularly for those looking for reliable performance and easier installation. **
