yes the gt2 arms are what you want.another thing to try is the regular gt2 arms they are alot stronger then the regular t4/sc10 arms.i havent broke one since i swap over to them.i realy dont like the rpm arms they make the truck feal weird.i think they flex to much for my liking.my self i would just go with the gt2 arms and castor blocks.

Those are the correct arms and bulkhead for the GT2, T4, and SC10. However, the rear arms are NOT a direct replacement.

and no the the rear arms dont fit,unless you use the gt2 rear hubs.the gt2 arms are shorter and the hubs are wider.

yeah for bashing you will be ok.but i would still consider the gt2 front arms.i dont know why but these are way stronger then the stock arms.i have beat the tar outa my sc10 and have broke a single part after the swap.first time i jump the truck with the stock arms,i broke a arm.castor block,and a shock shaft.

Huh...... thats funny. I put some on my slash and it stiffened things up quite a bit. I Would highly recommend the RPM products. They are very strong and will last you forever.

If you use the GT2 front arms do you need to change anything else or are they a direct replacement? Not the RPM front arms but the GT2 arms from associated. Thanks

they will bolt right up.but the shock mounts to them differently instead of haven two stand offs for the shock to set in,these only have one.but everything else is the same.

How do you bolt the shocks in then. Do you bold them tight to the one spot? And is this strong enough so that the bolt doesn't move around? Thanks

well im sure anything is stronger then traxxass parts.comparen a slash to a t4 is like comparing a corvette to a chevette.totaly different and different quality parts.
