I'll let you know what they look like in a couple days. I have the new ones on the way.

And Im sure dremeling would void their ''unbreakable'' waranty.

New RPM Arms got here. They are the just like the old ones with a dent on one side. No bulg on the other side. I guess you could just dremel it out on the old arms. Anyway. New ones are going on. Can't wait to test this thing out w/ the 3.3 setup.

Now with the arms I basically will have brought the whole truck from the diffs out to the wheels up to 3.3 specs.

Let us know how it works out. I may be interested in doing a conversion on one.

Yeah, the new maxx arms are like that too. Notched on both sides.

You could as well just use the normal revo shafts and use a drill and a dremel to take of some plastic from the piece that goes onto the diff.

Well I installed the rpm arms for the 3.3 and they work perfecty. On the tallest bashing suspension setting, its really close clearance between the 3.3 driveshafts and the arms with the suspension completetly extended, but it clears and I cant make the axels rub the arms even if I force the suspension to over travel down by hand. Looks like it should be really solid.

I like this conversion.

Where did you get the turn buckles from?
I like them. It looks good. I think the pics turned out nice.
It looks wider now. Let me know how it handles since the improvement.
I piced up another emaxx for a conversion like this. :D
I couldn't afford it but had something brother wanted for it.

Very nice! Coolhand, I believe there from JD Carbon.

jhautz 08.08.2006 11:15 AM

Yes. JD Carbon Turnbuckles. I also have JD Carbon Hinge Pins in it. Really tough stuff. And LIGHT!!! Really Light. Makes Titanium look like lead.

You can kinda see them in the top picture.
