RPM has built a reputation for exceptional quality in the RC car UK community, and these front right A-arms exemplify why they are the preferred choice for RC enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on reliability or performance.

RPM's bulletproof blend of nylons has been refined over years of real-world testing in the harshest conditions imaginable.

Key Features
- Bulletproof Nylon Construction — Moulded from RPM's proprietary blend of nylons, these A-arms deliver incredible durability under the toughest of conditions whilst maintaining nearly identical weight to stock components, ensuring your vehicle's handling characteristics remain predictable and responsive.
- Exceptional Durability — Completely redesigned to withstand extreme stress and impact, these A-arms are more wear-resistant than any other material available on the market, meaning you'll spend less time repairing and more time driving your ready to run RC model.
- Eliminated Endplay — Excess A-arm endplay has been completely eliminated through precise engineering, providing more accurate caster and toe angle settings that result in superior handling stability, cornering grip, and predictable steering response.
- Improved Ground Clearance — The design features no low-hanging cross-braces or shock mounting areas, giving your RC car UK model better ground clearance over obstacles and rough terrain, critical for both racing and bashing applications.
- Advanced Shock Rod Mounting — Massive shock rod mounting areas provide significantly improved rigidity throughout the suspension system, reducing flex and delivering more consistent performance lap after lap.
- Self-Cleaning Design — Angled leading and trailing edges eliminate dirt build-up that would otherwise accumulate during aggressive driving, ensuring consistent performance and reducing cleaning time between sessions.
- Multiple Colour Options — Available in black, blue, and dyeable white, allowing you to match your vehicle's colour scheme or customise to your preference, with the blue version featured here complementing most modern RC car designs.
- World-Renowned Warranty — Backed by RPM's breakage warranty, you can drive with confidence knowing that if these components fail under normal use, RPM stands behind their product with genuine customer care.
- Outstanding Value — Priced at less than half the cost of aluminium A-arms, these components deliver performance and reliability that usually commands a premium price, making premium suspension upgrades accessible to all RC enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The RPM Summit/Revo Front Right Upper/Lower A-Arms represent a significant engineering achievement in suspension component design. Constructed from RPM's bulletproof blend of nylons rather than traditional plastic or metal alternatives, these arms deliver a perfect balance of weight, durability, and performance. The material composition ensures that weight remains nearly identical to stock A-arms, preventing any negative impact on vehicle dynamics or handling characteristics whilst providing substantially improved wear resistance and impact durability. The elimination of excess endplay through precision moulding means that your caster and toe angle settings will remain consistent and accurate throughout extended driving sessions, translating directly to more predictable cornering speeds and improved steering response during competitive racing or weekend bashing. The angled leading and trailing edges work to shed dirt and mud naturally, maintaining consistent performance in muddy or dusty conditions where dirt accumulation on traditional A-arms would cause binding and unpredictable handling. The massive shock rod mounting areas provide substantial rigidity improvements throughout the front suspension geometry, reducing flex under cornering loads and delivering the crisp, responsive handling that serious RC car UK drivers demand. These components are engineered as a complete upper and lower A-arm set for the right front position, making installation straightforward and ensuring proper geometric alignment.
