RPM arms
 
Anybody familiar with these?

Would they be stronger or weaker then the standard arms?

No, but as soon as tower hobbies has them in stock I will be very familiar with them. I hate the stock rear toe link, and have bent many of them, so this is what i have been waiting for. I have used rpm arms on many vehicles and have been very happy with the quality and performance and am sure that these will be just as good!

I currently have RPM arms on a FLM chassis and FLM Hybrid bulk E-maxx. I am anticipating my next "weak link" which will probably be the arms or axle crriers at the pillow balls. I am hoping these will help.

RPM makes good stuff. I would recommend them.

They are flexible as heck. with 3.3 shafts you should be fine.

rpm stuff is great and i will get those for my emaxx when i get some money thats for sure:yes:

I think they are a great idea. I always hated the rear turnbuckle. that was always the part I broke in a cartwheel. I think this is a slick idea. It would be better if they did it without the e-clips on the hingepins. E-clips suck and should be banished from RC:slap:

I've run the stock type rpm stuff on a lightweight (Slayden type) Tmaxx and they've taken everything I could dish out. Only thing - if the nylon formula hasn't changed, they're very flexible, especially on a hot day. Precision type cvds (UE) will get bent with this kind of setup.

I agree though, a 3.3 setup shouldn't have any probs. Only thing I hate worse than e-clips are those phillips headed wood screw things they call screws.

It's about time they made these, just like the rear on the LST2's and Muggy's.

The idea is not new - the same thing was tried out a few years ago, but they never caught on and they disappeared. At least with rpm behind them, they'll be around for a while.
