Watch what you buy. I bought three different sets from three different chop shops on eBay and each set broke on different race days. If you want them for a restoration/shelf queen, then no worries. If you are going to race, just buy a pair of new black ones from Tower or Amain and save yourself the aggravation.
Adding to that, buy dirty ones. Clean with soap and water first. Some choppers clean with fairly aggressive solvents and could be contributing to the breakage. A good boil wouldn't hurt either
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
Anyway, I have ended up with a SC10B from a work mate with a broken front arm. He bought it from our shop a few months ago and proceeded to turn it partially into a canoe after 8 batteries on his front yard...

Update on this: I haven't butchered my RPM parts yet, as the importer here reckons they will have the genuine parts in this week.... We will see.
Hey guys just wondering if the front A arms from the xx-4 are the same for the xx. They seem to have the same part number. I need to re-stock my xx front arms. Plus I am slowly amassing the parts to put to gether a Kinwald XX.
Hi, I'm relatively new here so sorry if my vocab is bad. I recently inherited my uncles old rc10. I don't know anything about the model except that is has an aluminum chassis with an A stamp. I was tryying to get to working aging and fixing throttle...

Like I said, be sure to soak all the nylon to rehydrate it. That will make them less brittle.
The pieces have been drying for 30 years, give them a few days in water.
Warm to hot is better but don't boil them or have them over heat sources....
Does someone have the AE part # for the wider front A-arms (white) or something ese that would work ? I woud like to go alittle wider on the front vs. stock on my gold pan.
Thanks!

Excellent, I just wanted to make sure the 6206 fits. I found the arm mounts, caster blocks and steering blocks all in black too. Can find didly for the rear except for the RPM arms (so far)
Hey now what is the difference in the years of the short white a-arms and the longer white a-arms on gold tubs ? and how can you tell if the car came with the short ones or long, or if the nose plate is changed from one to the other ?

shorty is that your box art rc10?
if so its obviously very nice, but i'd like to know what paints were used.
and i only dye parts if they are stained from the sun or grease. i am a big fan on non-dyed parts but only when the white is REALLY white....
Does any one still make white white front arms for the Team/Worlds cars? I recall seeing some that are still made on the forum but cant find the thread now. Thanks
