Overview
The RPM Traxxas 1/16th E-Revo Rear A-Arms in red (RPM80609) represent a significant upgrade for owners of the Traxxas 1/16th Scale Mini E-Revo monster truck. As an RC enthusiast in the UK looking to improve your vehicle's handling and consistency, these replacement suspension arms deliver the precision engineering and durability that serious bashers and racers demand. RPM has engineered these rear A-arms to eliminate the play and slop commonly found in the stock Traxxas setup, allowing you to lock in your camber and toe angle settings with confidence and maintain them through even the most aggressive driving sessions.
Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher who wants their ready to run RC truck to perform at its best, these suspension upgrades make an immediate difference in how your Mini E-Revo handles and responds to terrain. The red colour matches perfectly with certain Traxxas colour schemes, including the striking Grave Digger version, or allows you to create a custom aesthetic that stands out from the crowd. Like all RPM molded products, these A-arms come backed by an industry-leading breakage warranty, giving you peace of mind that you're investing in parts built to withstand the demands of serious RC driving.
Each set includes both the upper and lower rear A-arms (four pieces total), so you have everything needed to transform your Mini E-Revo's rear suspension geometry and responsiveness in one purchase.
Key Features
- Precision-engineered design — RPM's rear A-arms eliminate nearly all of the A-arm slop typically found in stock Mini E-Revo rear A-arms, allowing camber and toe angle settings to be more solidly fixed in position and maintained consistently through your driving sessions.
- 30-degree bevelled leading and trailing edges — By incorporating angled bevels into the design, RPM reduces the chance of breaking suspension parts since the A-arms will naturally transition over obstacles instead of bluntly ploughing into them, improving durability and performance over rough terrain.
- Matched design elements with front A-arms — These rear arms incorporate the same engineering philosophy and design language as RPM's front A-arms, ensuring a cohesive and well-balanced suspension system across your entire truck.
- Smoother, more consistent suspension — The improved A-arm mounting geometry and reduced play result in a significantly smoother ride with dramatically reduced suspension wandering, giving you more predictable handling whether you're racing or bashing.
- Complete rear suspension solution — This set includes both upper and lower A-arms (four pieces total), so you have everything needed to upgrade your Mini E-Revo's entire rear suspension in one purchase.
- Colour-matched red finish — The red colour matches perfectly with Traxxas colour schemes including the Grave Digger version, allowing for a seamless visual blend or the option to create striking contrast with other body colours.
- Industry-leading breakage warranty — Like all RPM molded products, these A-arms are backed by RPM's recognised warranty against breakage under normal operating conditions, meaning if your A-arms break, RPM will replace them, providing genuine worry-free durability.
Technical Performance
The RPM Traxxas 1/16th E-Revo Rear A-Arms are engineered from durable RPM material specifically formulated to withstand the stresses of high-performance RC driving. The suspension arms work in concert with your Mini E-Revo's existing drivetrain and chassis to provide dramatically improved geometry control. The 30-degree bevelled design on the leading and trailing edges represents thoughtful engineering that allows the A-arms to smoothly transition over obstacles rather than catching and breaking, a common failure point in stock plastic suspension components. The precision mounting points ensure that your suspension geometry remains consistent and repeatable, eliminating the frustrating tendency for suspension settings to shift or loosen during aggressive driving. For UK RC enthusiasts running a 1/16th scale brushless electric monster truck, these upgrades deliver the kind of performance consistency you'd expect from purpose-built competition-grade components. The colour-matched red finish integrates seamlessly with Traxxas factory colours, whilst the engineering improvements work with your truck's existing 4x4 drivetrain to provide noticeably better handling, reduced wandering, and more predictable cornering behaviour across all driving conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will RPM Traxxas 1/16th E-Revo rear A-arms fit my Mini E-Revo? — Yes, these A-arms are specifically designed for the Traxxas 1/16th Scale Mini E-Revo and are confirmed compatible with models including the TRX71076-8-PRPL (Purple VXL-3M) and TRX71076-8-BLUEX (Blue X VXL-3M) versions. If you own a 1/16th E-Revo, these will fit correctly.
- What improvement will I notice after installing these A-arms? — The main improvement you'll experience is a much smoother, more consistent suspension that eliminates the wandering tendency common in stock Mini E-Revo rear A-arms. Your camber and toe angle settings will remain locked in position rather than shifting during drives, resulting in more predictable handling and better overall truck control whether you're bashing or racing.
- How many A-arms do I get in this set? — RPM rear suspension arms are sold in sets of four, including both upper and both lower A-arms, so you have a complete rear suspension upgrade with one purchase.
- Are these A-arms durable? — Yes, RPM's A-arms are engineered with a 30-degree bevel on leading and trailing edges that allows them to transition smoothly over obstacles rather than breaking bluntly into them. Durability is further backed by RPM's industry-leading breakage warranty—if your A-arms break under normal operating conditions, RPM will replace them.
- Can I use just the upper or lower A-arms alone? — Whilst you technically could, RPM recommends upgrading both the upper and lower A-arms together to achieve the full suspension geometry benefits and the most consistent performance improvement.
- Do these A-arms work with other Traxxas 1/16th models? — These A-arms are specifically designed for the 1/16th E-Revo. For compatibility with other 1/16th Traxxas models, you should check with RPM or the retailer.
- How do RPM A-arms compare to stock Traxxas suspension? — The primary difference is that RPM A-arms eliminate nearly all of the A-arm slop found in stock Mini E-Revo parts, meaning your suspension geometry stays locked in place rather than shifting during driving. The bevelled design also makes them more impact-resistant, and the comprehensive warranty provides protection against breakage.
