RPM Front A-Arms for Traxxas Rustler Stampede 2WD 1/10 Electric RC Green RPM80244

Overview

The RPM ELEC RUSTLER & STAMPEDE 2WD FRONT ARMS GREEN RPM80244 represent a significant upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their Traxxas electric RC car UK hobby experience. These front A-arms are engineered for the Traxxas Slash 2wd, Nitro Slash, electric Rustler and electric Stampede 2wd vehicles, offering a rare combination of reduced weight and increased durability that transforms how your RC buggy performs on track or in the dirt. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring the world of ready to run RC vehicles or a competitive racer seeking every performance advantage, these green front arms deliver measurable improvements in handling precision and suspension response.

RPM has achieved something remarkable with these A-arms: they are nearly 25% lighter than the original Traxxas stock versions yet backed by RPM's world-renowned breakage warranty. This weight reduction matters significantly in RC racing and recreational driving because it reduces unsprung weight — the mass of components not supported by the suspension — which directly improves how quickly your suspension responds to terrain changes. When paired with matching RPM rear A-arms, total weight savings exceed 24 grams, nearly a full ounce, creating a noticeably nimbler and more responsive RC vehicle without sacrificing the rigidity and durability that serious drivers demand.

These front A-arms are moulded in RPM's ultra-durable nylon blend material and feature the brand's trademark design of angled leading and trailing edges. This innovative geometry reduces frontal edge mass whilst improving the A-arm's ability to ride up and over tall obstacles instead of slamming into them — a crucial advantage whether you're tackling rough track conditions or natural terrain in the garden. The green colour option allows you to customise your RC car's appearance to match your preferred aesthetics, and the arms are sold as a complete pair ready for installation.

Key Features

• Nearly 25% lighter than stock Traxxas A-arms — RPM engineered these front arms to shed substantial weight compared to original equipment, reducing unsprung mass that directly translates to faster suspension response and improved handling characteristics on any RC car UK terrain.
• World-renowned breakage warranty — Despite the weight reduction, RPM backs these A-arms with their recognisable durability guarantee, meaning you can push hard without worrying about catastrophic failures, even during aggressive racing or bashing sessions.
• Increased outer clearance for extended droop travel — RPM enlarged clearance areas in the outer portion of the A-arms, which allows significantly increased droop travel when used with RPM oversized bearing carriers such as RPM #80372 and #80382, expanding your suspension tuning possibilities.
• Angled leading and trailing edge design — The trademark RPM geometry of angled edges reduces frontal edge mass whilst enabling the A-arms to ride smoothly up and over obstacles rather than catching or slamming into them, improving suspension behaviour on rough terrain.
• Extreme rigidity for superior stability — These A-arms are moulded to maintain exceptional stiffness, delivering the rigid chassis feel that competitive racers demand whilst improving overall ride quality and consistency across both smooth and rough track surfaces.
• Available in multiple colour options — The green finish allows you to match or contrast with your vehicle's body colour, though these A-arms are also available in black, blue, red and pink to suit personal preference and team colours.
• Precise engineering reduces suspension slop — On the rear version, RPM's engineering eliminates over 0.03 inches of play at the inner arm mount, reducing the overall suspension slop for more consistent and predictable handling — whilst the front arms deliver equally impressive tolerances.
• Improved shock mount positioning for better tuning — The slightly revised shock mount locations provide more noticeable adjustment changes for fine-tuning, giving drivers enhanced control over suspension geometry and handling characteristics without requiring complete redesigns.

Technical Performance

These RPM front A-arms deliver exceptional engineering that bridges the gap between weight reduction and structural integrity. Built from RPM's ultra-durable nylon blend material, they maintain the rigidity and strength essential for serious RC car UK driving whilst shedding nearly 25% of the weight compared to stock Traxxas equipment. The material composition ensures long-lasting performance through repeated impacts, hard landings and sustained racing use. Unlike budget aftermarket suspension components that sacrifice durability for weight savings, RPM has maintained the stiffness racers demand whilst improving suspension response and overall handling. The angled leading and trailing edge design is more than aesthetic — it represents genuine engineering focused on how the A-arm interacts with obstacles and terrain. This geometry allows the suspension to ride smoothly over tall obstacles instead of catching or jamming, reducing energy loss and improving predictability. When installed as part of a complete suspension upgrade with matching RPM rear A-arms, the cumulative effect is a suspension system that feels noticeably tighter, more responsive and more consistent. The increased clearance in the outer arm portions opens possibilities for extended droop travel when paired with RPM oversized bearing carriers, allowing drivers to fine-tune their suspension geometry for specific track conditions. The tolerances are exceptionally tight, with minimal play at both inner and outer hinge points, creating a more direct connection between driver input and suspension movement. This precision engineering translates to improved consistency, more predictable handling and faster lap times or better bashing performance depending on your RC driving style.
