This is a set of two rear RPM  rear A-arms for the Traxxas Slash and are  designed specifically for the Slash – they are not multi-platform  A-arms like the stock versions.
 

RPM's first design challenge was to beef up thier version of the  Slash rear A-arms to handle serious abuse. The material around the inner  and outer hinge pins has been increased by a whopping 64%! They then  eliminated all of the unnecessary holes and shock mounts that would be  needed on other vehicles but not on the Slash, which significantly  reduced the weight of the A-arms while improving crash durability. Even  after all of the increased muscle has been factored in, the A-arms still  come in at over 10% lighter than the original arms! The final design  task was to improve the fit and finish and what we came up with will  eliminate most of the slop in the rear suspension system! The Slash  owner can tighten things up to near perfect out back simply by adding in  a set of our #80382 Rear Bearing Carriers currently available. RPM  Slash rear A-arms use stock suspension geometry and include stock rear  toe angles.
 

RPM Slash rear A-arms are not only stronger and more durable than  stock, they are also more rigid and less flexible too, making them the  perfect addition to those race-level Slashes on the track. Additionally,  the new geometry design leaves no place for dirt and rocks to get  caught in the lower A-arm and reduces the chances of rocks and debris  getting stuck between the axle and the arm.
 

RPM Slash rear A-arms are sold in pairs. They are molded in RPM's  nearly indestructible blend of nylons and are sold in either black our  blue. These A-arms are backed by RPM's limited lifetime warranty against  breakage as well for confidence-inspiring durability and performance.
 

Tech Notes: Stock rear axle carriers have an upper and lower hinge  pin hole. RPM Slash Rear A-arms only allow the use of the original,  lower hole location to be used. The upper axle carrier hole (which would  lower the ride height in the back too much) cannot be used. To lower  the rear end of the truck, RPM recommends using the outer shock mount  hole positions in the A-arm.
