Just put RPM A-arms on I got with a truck I bought on here. Problem is the cup on the hub comes in contact with the arm. The hub will not even go straight because of this. It doesn't look I can do anything with what I got. I checked all the parts and they are correct. Here are a couple pics. Anyone seen this? Thanks.

That is weird. Both my son's RTR (with bog bones) and I (FT CVD) have RPM a-arms and neither one had a problem. :confused:

brush-less is a lot less maintenance and smoother running. i would go brushless if you could

Those hub carriers don't look right to me, they only have 2 holes. Maybe the previous owner was doing some experimenting. It looks like the stub axle is sticking out farther than it should.

+1, they look like they might be from a T3 or something?

The "mesh" I use is adhesive drywall tape. you can get it at the hardware store. For 2wd I don't mesh/goo the whole body due to the extra top-heavy weight, but just do around the body posts, rear fenders, and wheels wells. If you've already gone though one body it's easy to tell where you need to re-enforce.
One thing to watch out for though, is that i've had the mesh/goo pull the paint away from the body. If you catch it soon enough you can use a little CA around the edges to keep it from getting worse. I agree, its such a pain when my shoe-goo pulls my freaking paint off my body, and then if you put a little too much CA glue underneath it kind of "melt" the paint a little. I actually use a glue sealant (used to adhere images to the inside of Lexan bodies) and brush it over the whole inside of the body once it is painted to kind of seal it a bit. Seems to work better then just leaving the paint exposed on the inside :) |
Although they are nice you don't need CVD's. There is something else wrong here, are you sure those are the correct arms for the SC10? If so I would try to compare the axle with another truck at the track as it has to be either the arm or the axle

Attached picture is of RPM arms, kit dog bones, kit hub, axle and everything.
Your truck has a wrong hub, if the axle is the correct SC10 one. |

I got them from the LHS and they are the same as my old ones minus one hole. The position it holds the out drive in is the same as I checked that. I just didn't budget on having to put cvd's in with these arms and read no where that I would need them to run these. Really frustrated right now as I got this to affordably try my hand at racing and its turning into a friggin money pit. :mad:

Is it possible that the arms are on the wrong side or upside down? I accidentally did that when assembling my FT and it was a head scratcher for a few minutes..... |
