rpm is the best
2 of 2 found this helpful I've used RPM arms for years for a reason... they're the best plastic parts available. I've had aluminum (other brand parts) that didn't last one day before bending out of usefullness. And RPM warranties their PLASTIC parts to a higher extent than others in the hobby, which is why every car I own has RPM arms on all 4 corners. Great product, excellent price, and the best alternative to OEM parts more prone to break.

high hopes
3 of 5 found this helpful I had high hopes for this part, but to no avail. Grub screws slip even with Loctite after a small amount of use. After completely disassembling my transmission 3 times to tighten screws, I'd had enough. I went back to a geared setup. This part needs to be one piece, or welded. Granted, I ran a brushless motor but failure is inevitable. It now sits in a box on the shelf.

integy aluminum arms are garbage
I purchased the front and rear sets for my Slash. Taking them out of the package and looking at them was the highlight of my experience with them, and was also the moment Integy stopped backing them. I installed them, drove on them for 5 minutes, took a low speed tumble in the GRASS, and was surprised to see total failure of one of the rear arms. It had bent so out of shape, it had to be forcably removed (vice grips and a cutoff wheel to remove the hinge pins that were completely bent beyond use) and actually caused more damage to the rest of the suspension than the price of the arm itself. I contacted Integy, and got a response...."parts are not warrantied at all, once removed from original packaging, or if damaged while being used". Needless to say, I will never buy another Integy part, and will spread the word that they sell inferior parts, at a huge profit margin, and offer NO support for their product. The Arms I bought are destined to fail by design, offering no bracing at all at the most critical point of the arm, and with a dozen needless holes drilled and threaded into them from both sides (only 3 or 4 holes are actually used in the application) only making it a matter of time before they bend or break at those points. I'll be the first to admit, im hard on my RC vehicles, but this was just a poor quality product, sold by a company that obviously doesn't care about customer satisfaction or repeat business. I have since replaced these parts with RPM plastic ones, and have no issues whatsoever driving alot harder than the day this part failed. I was offered a replacement set by Integy (at a cost of 9.99 plus shipping... more than the original price I paid directly from integy
