Technical Performance
The RPM Front or Rear A-Arms are precision-engineered suspension components designed to replace the standard LaTrax parts (stock number 7630) that come fitted to the Prerunner, Teton and SST models. These A-arms are manufactured from durable materials selected specifically to provide maximum strength and rigidity whilst maintaining a lightweight profile. The engineering focuses on maintaining precise suspension geometry, which directly translates to improved handling accuracy and more predictable driving characteristics across different terrain and conditions. The reduction in suspension slop is particularly important for RC enthusiasts who demand responsive, accurate control from their vehicles. Unlike stock parts that can develop play over time through normal use, these aftermarket A-arms maintain their dimensional accuracy, ensuring your truck handles consistently lap after lap. The lightweight construction means there's no penalty in terms of rotational mass or inertia, so your truck's suspension can respond more quickly to inputs and terrain variations. The limited lifetime warranty backing means these components are built to last through extended use, from casual weekend drives to more demanding competitive sessions.
