RE: The Traxxas Truck Thread
i would say get RPM arms but man i am not sure how strong they are. We have broken 2 of them already within 2 runs. But that is 6s brushless abuse lol.

NO WAY! Rpm bumpers are freaking indestructible! I've smacked a curb full throttle and it's done nothing to it! Although, I'm not driving in near sub zero weather that makes plastic nice and brittle like you are

You might be tightening the screws too tight. I tighten them, then back them out about a half turn so the bumper braces can do their job by compressing and absorbing impact.

Thanks for the compliments! It won't be long until that body is all smashed up... cause I suck, and have a ramp, and a big hill. There's lots of rpm, integy, and traxxas hop-ups in there, nothing fancy. I just found a crack in my front-left upper a-arm tonight.. time to spend more money... woot! Talk me out of getting alloy arms please!
