RPM Mud Guards for ARRMA 6S V5 EXB RC Car Suspension Protection Black RPM81532

Overview

The RPM Mud Guards for ARRMA 6S RR A-Arms are essential protective accessories for anyone serious about extending the lifespan of their RC car's suspension and drivetrain components. Designed exclusively for ARRMA 6S V5 and EXB vehicles equipped with RPM A-arms (part numbers 81722 and 81729), these mud guards represent a smart investment in maintenance and performance longevity. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher, or an RC enthusiast looking to protect your investment, these guards offer practical protection without adding unnecessary weight to your build.

If you run your RC car UK-wide on dusty tracks, muddy courses, or rocky terrain, you'll quickly appreciate how debris accumulates on suspension components, shocks, turnbuckles and driveshafts between cleaning sessions. The RPM Mud Guards solve this problem elegantly by physically blocking rocks and mud from striking your rear suspension and drivetrain, which means your expensive components stay cleaner, run smoother, and ultimately last significantly longer. These are not cosmetic add-ons—they're functional protective equipment that every serious ARRMA 6S owner should consider.

RPM has engineered these guards from their proprietary blend of engineering-grade nylon, a material known for its incredible toughness and reliability in demanding RC environments. Extremely lightweight, the guards won't compromise your vehicle's handling characteristics or acceleration, yet they provide robust protection where it matters most.

Key Features

• Rock and Debris Protection — The primary purpose of these mud guards is to prevent rocks from striking your rear suspension and drivetrain components, which protects expensive parts from impact damage that can occur during aggressive driving on technical terrain.
• Reduces Debris Build-Up — By blocking mud, dirt and small stones from accumulating on rear shocks, turnbuckles and driveshafts, these guards significantly reduce the maintenance burden and help your suspension run smoother between cleaning sessions.
• Extended Component Lifespan — Protection against debris and impact means your suspension components, shocks and drivetrain will experience less wear and tear, ultimately saving you money on replacement parts and repair costs.
• Engineering-Grade Nylon Construction — Moulded from RPM's incredibly tough blend of engineering-grade nylons, these guards deliver reliable performance you can depend on, even in harsh off-road conditions and challenging terrain.
• Lightweight Design — Extremely lightweight construction means the guards add minimal unsprung weight, preserving your RC car's handling balance, acceleration and overall performance characteristics.
• Sold in Pairs — Each purchase includes a complete pair of mud guards, providing full rear-end protection as a matched set.
• Exclusive Compatibility — Engineered to work exclusively with RPM A-arms (parts 81722 and 81729), these guards integrate seamlessly with RPM suspension setups for perfect fitment.

Technical Performance

The RPM Mud Guards represent the pinnacle of protective accessory engineering for high-performance RC vehicles. Constructed from RPM's proprietary blend of engineering-grade nylon, these guards combine exceptional durability with minimal weight penalty. The material selection is critical—engineering-grade nylon offers superior impact resistance compared to standard plastics, meaning these guards can withstand the abuse of serious RC car usage without cracking, breaking or losing their protective properties. The design is optimised for ARRMA 6S V5 and EXB vehicles, specifically engineered to fit alongside RPM A-arms (81722 and 81729). This specialised fitment ensures the guards sit in the optimal position to intercept rocks and debris before they can impact your suspension components. The lightweight profile means they add negligible weight to the rear of the vehicle, preserving the carefully balanced weight distribution that modern RC cars rely on for optimal handling. Whether you're running your ARRMA 6S on rocky UK tracks, through muddy courses, or on technical terrain, these guards provide consistent protection without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these mud guards compatible with my ARRMA 6S RC car? — These guards are compatible exclusively with ARRMA 6S V5 and EXB vehicles equipped with RPM A-arms (part numbers 81722 and 81729). They are NOT compatible with stock ARRMA A-arms or any other aftermarket A-arms. Check your current suspension setup before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
• What benefit do mud guards provide for my RC car? — Mud guards protect your rear suspension and drivetrain from rock impacts and debris accumulation. By blocking dirt, mud and small stones from reaching your shocks, turnbuckles and driveshafts, these guards help your suspension run smoother and last longer between cleanings, ultimately extending component lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.
• Will mud guards affect the performance or handling of my RC car? — No, these guards are extremely lightweight and specifically engineered not to impact performance. Because they add minimal unsprung weight and don't alter the vehicle's balance or weight distribution, your RC car's handling characteristics, acceleration and overall performance will remain unchanged.
• How do I install the RPM Mud Guards? — The guards are designed to integrate with RPM A-arms (81722 and 81729) and mount directly onto these compatible components. Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications to your vehicle or suspension setup.
• Are these guards available in other colours? — The RPM81532 model number refers specifically to the black variant. RPM also manufactures compatible mud guards in other colour options (such as part number 81539), but the black guards shown here come as standard in this product listing.
• Why should I choose mud guards over just cleaning my car more frequently? — While regular cleaning helps maintain your RC car, mud guards prevent debris from reaching vulnerable components in the first place. This proactive approach reduces wear on expensive parts, means less frequent deep cleaning is necessary, and ultimately extends the life of your suspension and drivetrain significantly.
