Are you looking to add some serious stability to your electric Rustler or Stampede 2wd? Look no further! RPM has a new set of wide front A-arms that will push your front wheels out there almost 1-1/4” (31.8mm) of total width for some serious stability-adding performance. Our Wide Front A-arms extend the front width by exactly the difference in offset between the front and rear wheels. All you need to do is get a second set of “front” wheels and bolt them to the rear to align the front and rear tires and you’re good to go! No expensive prefabricated widening kits or time-consuming conversions. It’s as easy as replacing your stock A-arms with RPM wide A-arms, swap the turnbuckles and camber links for longer versions (not included see “Tech Notes” below) and bolt on a new set of rear wheels! It couldn’t be easier.

You already know RPM A-arms are the toughest molded a-arms in the R/C industry (gram for gram, stronger than aluminum as well)! Each RPM A-arm is molded from our trademark blend of nearly indestructible nylons and backed by our world-renowned limited lifetime warranty against breakage. RPM durability combined with RPM affordability; there’s no way you can go wrong!
