Now I have another issue - I need a ball end with a bigger thread to fit the RPM arm so I can connect the front sway bar. Any solutions?

remove the two screws holding the sway bar on, and remove sway bar. no more issue.

Went to my LHS and actually found a ball link with a thread big enough to fit. Oddly enough, it was an AE part and its even gold coloured

Now I just need to find the other part.

RPM front A Arms and shocks question

First post

While rebuilding my original Worlds, I decided to swap the arms on the front and back for RPM arms. Unfortunately the ball ends of the shock do not fit in the arm. The ball is too deep for the arm.

Can I use any ball end on the shock that'll fit?

Last post

Great thanks.

I actually found those while looking and almost hit the buy button but hesitated.

Installed a set of RPM B4 arms on my B4.1. Haven't had a chance to run them, but def beefy compared to the stock front arms!

The rpm arms were great on a loose loamy track. No problems whatsoever. On a hard packed Clay I just didn't like the way the truck drove and the rtr arms were even worse. It was a shame cuase the truck was unstoppable with the FT arms until they...

Maybe a rookie question, but did RPM make the team/widetrack front arms in white? Not the RPM worlds conversion type, standard wide track.

Last post

I am trying to find a set of rear Andy's arms in white but that full set of RPM arms would work. If you don't move on them Bob, please pass me the info.

Thanks

Hi team,

I'm looking for a little help on this. I want to put some latest generation shocks on my RPM Worlds arms runner. It looks however, that most of the front shocks are going to be too short. The RPM kit (7077/7079) uses 1.02 shocks in the...

Last post

Short course or stadium truck shocks should be fine. As far as I know, most are approximately the same length as earlier truck shocks.

If there is a place of concern, it'd be the rear shocks. Some of the newer rear shocks are a little longer,...

ok, I borrowed the pic from 59burst but these are the same bell-cranks I'm trying to install on my DS.

I tried using the standard flat top screws, but they are too short. So I used two short Truck nose plate screws but there is a lot...

Last post

I've had several sets of these and am not impressed. RPM made a better set up later on that accomodates bearings. I think the best you can do on these is to make sure they are oiled/greased.

Well I got them on the DS I just finished and I Kinda...

So I'm trying to put lunsford turnbuckles on my zx5 but I have ran into a snag. The RPM ball caps don't seem to be the right size(to small). Is this correct or am I just being a tard? can I only use the stock black ball caps that came on the ZX5?

Last post

Kyosho is 3mm & Losi is 4-40...I dont recommend putting 4-40 into a 3mm used hole. But if the parts were new, no issues.
