RE: RPM: true track rear arm conversion t and e maxx
Yeah I agree I was really looking forward to seeing what new thing they were coming out with for the Maxx and now I'm disappointed. [sm=frown.gif]
I really don't see the point in this, I like having it adjustable with the stock setup and it's really not hard to do.

RE: RPM: true track rear arm conversion t and e maxx
RPM bulkheads would be bad for many reasons. Their parts flex, this would cause the diff case to flex, shortening the life of your gears and driveshafts.
I think the new arms are cool, but I already have the RPM arms, so there's no point in upgrading if you have to buy the arms again.
Plus I like to have a little more tuning options which the original set-up has.

the rpm stuff doesnt flex as much as the stock stuff,, and if they made bulkheads thats were beefed up they could probably pull off a near "no flex" bulkhead.
so anyway,
no one makes titianuim im guessing?
maybe ill have to make my own, i've been researching aluminum ones and while they look cheesy and like they'd bend easy,, i beleave i could make some far stronger.

RE: RPM: true track rear arm conversion t and e maxx
I like the idea of what they did and I know RPM's stuff is dang near indestructable but that lower control arm looks like it could use a little more crossbracing imo.Just looks to me like a spot begging to break albeit its RPM's plastic.

flextech rc makes some titanium arms, but they are uber expensive.
Check out fastlane machine for some good aluminum products. They have an awesome warranty and make some of the toughest products.

RPM stuff does flex more than the stock stuff, that's why their parts are so durable, because they flex instead of break. Why do you think that professional racers don't run RPM arms? I'll tell you why, it's because the arms flex and turn their set-ups into whack. Their nylon plastic flexes more than regular plastic, and that reassures that the bulkheads would in fact flex more than the stock ones. I'm not saying that they wouldn't be less durable than the stock ones, just that they'd flex more.

im not talking about the arms,, im talking about bulkheads
and yes they do,,
you grab a stock t maxx arm and then an rpm arm and try to flex it,, the stocker is muh easyer to flex then the rpm.
im not saying they "dont" flex,, just not as much.
im not saying all this because i "heard it's what racers say" or "i know a freind wo has a freind who one time at bandcamp"
this is personal finds only.

RE: RPM: true track rear arm conversion t and e maxx
BOOOOOOO!!!all though the new setup is cool looking,its totally useless for someone who already has full sets of their "old"arms and carriers on both his maxxs.........what are the chances they would take the old stuff in on trade?,just a wise marketing move on thier part,there will be many maxx owners that have the old sets,that will run out and buy the new setup.pointless from a consumers point of view
