RPM Releases Front A-Arms for the Traxxas 1/16th Scale Mini E-Revo
Upon the release of the 1/16th Scale Traxxas Mini E-Revo, we immediately started receiving requests for durability upgrades. What better place to start than the front A-arms? With our guaranteed unbreakable material and a proven A-arm design based off of our larger, 1/10th scale Revo A-arms durability for these little monsters has arrived!
Another problem we have been able to eliminate was slop in the suspension system. In some cases, we found as much as 1/32” of slop in the stock A-arms! That has been remedied with these new RPM versions. Our A-arms eliminate nearly all of the A-arm slop, which allows camber, caster and toe angle settings to be more solidly fixed in position. The result: A smoother, more consistent steering and suspension system with a significantly reduced tendency for the truck to randomly wander while driving. Unique to RPM suspension arms is our angled leading and trailing edges. We incorporate a 30-degree bevel in these areas, which reduces the chance of breaking suspension parts since the A-arm will naturally try to transition over objects instead of bluntly plowing into them.
RPM front A-arms for the Traxxas Mini E-Revo are sold in sets of four – both upper and both lower a-arms. What’s best is these miniature E-Revo A-arms, like all RPM molded products, are backed by our industry-leading breakage warranty. If it breaks (under normal operating conditions), send it in and we’ll replace it!
#80692 Front Upper & Lower A-Arms - Black: Suggested Retail Price $14.95 / Set
#80695 Front Upper & Lower A-Arms - Blue: Suggested Retail Price $14.95 / Set
Coming Soon
We are working away on completing a set of rear A-arms for the Mini E-Revo and expect them to be completed in early January. More details will come as we finalize our molds!
