RPM ProLite 4×4 front A-arms

RPM ProLite 4x4 front A-arms

RPM introduce new optional front arms for the Team Associated ProLite 4×4 truck. They are moulded from the company’s renown nylon compound and are designed to add strength and durability to the highly stressed front end of the vehicle. The design of the arm does away with the need to use tiny hinge pin retaining screws as the suspension pins are now secured in-line. The arms are manufactured to tighter tolerances as well, meaning reduced slop in the hinge pin holes and between the caster block and A-arms. The ProLite 4×4 front A-arms also fit the Thunder Tiger Sparrowhawk and Tomahawk and they are available in black or blue colour.
