RPM Revo 2.0 front arms

Coming from RPM and made for the Traxxas Revo 2.0 truck are left and right front arm sets. Traxxas has upgraded the arms for the 2.0 version of the popular truck, however when the goings gets hard, the arms can still become a weak point of the truck. While offering greater durability thanks to RPM’s renown nylon comping, the design of the arms with angled leading and trailing edges not only cut through the air cleaner and more efficiently, those same edges allow the A-arms to slip up and over tall objects with less chance of a direct impact stopping creating harm. While offering more durability than the standard arms, RPM’s variants also scrub about 10g of weight a pair, improving suspension efficiency. The front A-arms are moulded from RPM’s indestructible blend of engineering grade nylons and sold as one upper and one lower A-arm, as sets for the left or right hand side of the truck and in black or blue colour.

RPM Revo 2.0 body savers

Coming from RPM and made for the Traxxas Revo 2.0 is a set of body savers. The set is a simple yet clever solution to prevent the lid from cracking around the body mount holes. RPM disguise the body savers in two separate ways. Out front, they look like moulded hood vents while in the rear, they look like exposed sections of a roll cage. It’s a perfect way to camouflage their intended purpose and yet still keep the body firmly attached. The way they work is straightforward; there are two pairs of screws holding the sub-frame of the body mounting system to the body in both the front and rear of the truck. The body savers tie two pairs of screws together, dispersing the pressure of holding the body to the sub-frame over a wide area of the body. Even if the bottom of the mounting holes in the body are completely ripped out from prior crashes, the system still works. The reinforcements are moulded in black from RPM’s ultra strong, engineering grade nylons for performance and are sold with four body savers in each kit.

Yeah Racing TRX-4 flippable aluminium servo horn

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the popular Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck is an aluminium servo horn. The symmetrical axis arm is of a 2-sided design, incorporating both 23T and 25T servo splines for greater versatility by simply flipping the servo horn around. The arm keeps the TRX-4’s standard steering geometry, however it offers improved rigidity and durability. The clamping design arm will stay in place even after having lost the main servo arm screw and the heavy duty design ensures great steering emphasis especially with today’s high-torque brushless servos.

Pro-Line Raid 2.8” removable hex wheels

Pro-Line have introduced their new Raid 2.8” removable hex wheels for the monster trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede and Rustler. The design allows to easily change the offset of the wheel to fit different applications by simply changing out the hex. Owners can go from the included 12mm narrow offset for the 2WD Stampede/Rustler rear to the included 12mm wide offset hexes for the 2WD Stampede/Rustler front and 4×4 Stampede/Rustler front and rear offsets quickly and easily. They also allow to replace a damaged wheel hex without needing to replace the glued tyres or even upgrading wheels to the separately sold 17mm wheel hexes for extreme use!. The wheels accomplish all of this and more by using Pro-Line’s unique 6×30 interlocking hex design that is secured to the wheel by six M3 screws that are spaced 30mm across. The Raid wheels feature a detailed 10-spoke design that recreates the latest in high performance full-size forged racing wheels with the strength and durability to match the bold look. Moulded-in bead-loc detail adds to the realism.
