RPM SC10 4×4 A-arms

RPM have produced An A-arm design for the Associated SC10 4×4 that can handle the roughest and toughest abuse and still come back for more. Since strength and durability were primary design considerations, they focused on common breakage areas for strength upgrades. Hinge pin and cross holes such as shock mounts and anti-sway bar holes have been beefed up for some much-needed muscle. The structure of the A-arms is also dramatically different than the stock design, which not only helps with the strength and sturdiness of the overall design, it also helps contribute to a stronger, less flexible design than the stock A-arms. All this strength and at a weight that is virtually identical to stock Associated A-arms.

RPM Associated shock shaft guards

RPM have released their shock shaft guards for Associated 1/10th scale shocks. A simple design, they replace your stock shock spring cup with one that has a thin but tough shield rising up to the base of the shock body, completely blocking debris from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which prevents debris from building inside the guard as well. The kit comes with replacement oversized shock rod ends, improving durability and consistency on the shock pivot ball. Additionally, we redesigned the top of the rod end so it is square. That square end keys the shock shaft guard for directional control. The front shield of the guard covers over 100 degrees of frontal exposure. Available in black and blue, they work with the SC10, T4, B4, GT2 but not with the SC10 4×4 shocks.
