Overview
The RPM BLACK FRONT RIGHT A-ARMS FOR E-REVO BRUSHLESS RPM81462 are premium suspension components designed specifically for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0, one of the most popular brushless RC monster trucks available in the UK market. These front right A-arms represent a significant upgrade over the standard Traxxas parts, offering superior durability, reduced weight, and optimised geometry that transforms your RC car's handling and off-road capability. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or enthusiast looking to enhance your E-Revo 2.0 performance, these RPM A-arms deliver the engineering excellence and reliability that serious RC hobbyists demand.
RPM has engineered these A-arms from an indestructible blend of engineering-grade nylon, resulting in components that are stronger and lighter than the original Traxxas equipment whilst maintaining perfect compatibility with your existing setup. As an authorised RPM retailer, RC Model Shop stocks these genuine components to help you build and maintain the ultimate E-Revo 2.0 brushless RC monster truck. The A-arms are manufactured in the USA to exacting quality standards and backed by RPM's limited lifetime warranty against breakage, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
Available exclusively from RC Model Shop, these suspension upgrades are perfect for anyone running a brushless E-Revo 2.0 looking to reduce chassis weight, increase suspension durability, and improve ground clearance over obstacles. The angled leading and trailing edge design is a testament to RPM's commitment to performance engineering, creating A-arms that cut through the air more efficiently whilst allowing your RC truck to glide over terrain features with greater ease and reduced risk of catastrophic impact damage.
Key Features
- 5 grams lighter per side than stock — Each A-arm weighs 5 grams less than the standard Traxxas equivalent, delivering a total weight saving of 10 grams per pair, which improves acceleration, deceleration, and overall chassis responsiveness on your brushless RC monster truck.
- Significantly stronger than OEM parts — RPM's engineering-grade nylon blend provides superior impact resistance and longevity compared to standard Traxxas A-arms, meaning fewer breakages during aggressive bashing and competitive racing with your E-Revo 2.0.
- Optimised angled geometry design — The carefully engineered leading and trailing edge angles reduce air resistance for smoother aerodynamic flow whilst allowing the A-arms to slip over tall obstacles and terrain features with less chance of direct impact stopping your RC truck dead in its tracks.
- Upper and lower A-arm set — This package includes both the upper and lower front right A-arm, providing complete front-right suspension geometry replacement for your E-Revo 2.0 brushless platform.
- Direct stock replacement — These A-arms directly replace the OEM Traxxas part number 8631, making installation straightforward with no modification required to your existing E-Revo 2.0 chassis or suspension components.
- USA manufacturing with lifetime warranty — Manufactured in the United States to strict quality control standards, these A-arms are backed by RPM's limited lifetime warranty against breakage, protecting your investment in premium RC suspension components.
- Deeper pivot ball hole design — RPM's proprietary pivot ball hole is engineered deeper than stock to prevent the pivot ball from bottoming out, ensuring proper installation and maintaining suspension integrity throughout the lifespan of your brushless RC car.
- Professional-grade engineering — Every aspect of these A-arms has been optimised for performance, from the material composition to the pivot ball hole depth, reflecting RPM's reputation as a recognised leader in high-performance RC suspension upgrades.
Technical Performance
The RPM BLACK FRONT RIGHT A-ARMS RPM81462 represent the pinnacle of modern RC suspension engineering for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 brushless platform. Manufactured from an indestructible blend of engineering-grade nylons, these components deliver the strength and durability required for serious RC enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance from their brushless RC monster trucks. The material composition has been scientifically formulated to withstand the extreme stresses and impacts inherent in high-speed RC bashing and competitive racing, whilst the 5-gram weight reduction per side contributes meaningfully to improved chassis dynamics and handling characteristics. The deeper pivot ball hole design is a critical engineering feature that prevents the pivot ball threads from bottoming out in the A-arm, which would otherwise create stress concentrations and void your RPM warranty. When installing these suspension components, the pivot ball must be threaded into the A-arm until the pivot ball threads end exactly at the end of the A-arm opening — this precise installation method ensures optimal suspension geometry and component longevity. The angled leading and trailing edges have been aerodynamically optimised to reduce air resistance whilst simultaneously improving ground clearance over obstacles encountered during aggressive off-road driving. These A-arms will not function with long travel (LT) style rockers, and the upper A-arms must not be installed in the lower roll-centre hinge pin hole as this will cause contact with the outdrive of the axle. For optimal performance after installation, RPM recommends using an RPM Camber Gauge to accurately check camber angles on each wheel, with proper camber angles varying between 0° to -3° depending on personal driving preference and terrain type, whilst ensuring front wheels are identical to each other and rear wheels match as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are RPM A-arms compatible with my standard Traxxas E-Revo 2.0? — Yes, the RPM81462 A-arms directly replace the stock Traxxas part number 8631 and are specifically engineered for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 brushless platform. Installation is straightforward with no modifications required to your existing chassis.
- How much weight do these A-arms save compared to standard Traxxas parts? — Each RPM A-arm weighs 5 grams less than the OEM equivalent, resulting in a total weight saving of 10 grams per pair. This reduction improves acceleration, handling responsiveness, and overall performance characteristics of your brushless RC monster truck.
- What is the RPM limited lifetime warranty coverage for these A-arms? — RPM A-arms carry a limited lifetime warranty against breakage under normal use, protecting you from manufacturing defects and material failure. This warranty demonstrates RPM's confidence in their engineering and provides peace of mind for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Can I use these A-arms with long travel rockers on my E-Revo 2.0? — No, RPM E-Revo 2.0 A-arms will not work with long travel (LT) style rockers, so you must use the standard rockers that came with your vehicle for proper fitment and suspension geometry.
- Is there a specific installation procedure for the pivot balls? — Yes, the pivot ball must be threaded into the A-arm until the pivot ball threads end exactly at the end of the A-arm opening. Do not bottom the pivot ball threads in the hole as this will stress the A-arms and void your warranty.
- What camber angles should I set after installing new A-arms? — Proper camber angles vary according to personal preference between 0° and -3°, but it is critical that the front wheels are identical to each other and the rear wheels match each other. RPM recommends using an RPM Camber Gauge for accurate measurement after installation.
- Are these A-arms suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — These A-arms are engineered for both competitive racing and aggressive bashing, with superior durability and strength compared to standard parts. The weight savings and optimised geometry make them ideal for serious RC enthusiasts seeking performance advantages.
- Can I use the upper A-arm in the lower roll-centre hinge pin hole? — No, the upper A-arms will not work in the lower roll-centre hinge pin hole as the A-arm will contact the outdrive of the axle. Upper and lower A-arms must be installed in their correct positions.
