Have RPM miss printed their packaging resulting in me getting the wrong rear arms.....

[Andrew Brown]

Hi all, scratching my head here. So noticed I've got a broken rear arm on my vorteks. No problem, I've got some RPM arms in as spares ready. Changed the fronts last week to RPM so I'll do the rears. Got the car in bits, offer up the new arms, errrr, they don't fit. Checked the packaging, says fits vorteks. They don't fit. Had a look at a video of someone else fitting RPM arms to a vorteks, theirs look different......ffs! Last photo is a screen shot of the video of someone else fitting them that look different / wider to the ones I've got. Can someone point me in the direction of the correct RPM rear arms for the vorteks please, thank you! Now no rc car over Easter, grrrrrr, thanks RPM!

I think you got the arms for the 2wd Vorteks.

RPM is pretty good at emailing you back if there’s issues. Still got the stock arms around for the time being?

Didn't know there was a 2nd vorteks, hmmm. Think I need rear arms that also fit the granit?

I think you need rear arms that fit a Vorteks 4x4.

Yeah but one is broken so just going to leave the car in bits until new arms that fit arrive

Like @razorrc said you got the RPM arms for the Old 2WD lineup.

You need these for the Vorteks 4x4 : https://www.amainhobbies.com/rpm-arrma-4x4-rear-suspension-arm-set-black-rpm81502/p943944

I see, I didnt even realise there was a 2wd vorteks hence thinking it was an RPM miss print! No problem, least now i understand what's caused the problem. thanks all! Just orderd some that look the same (and say vorteks 4x4) from my local shop in the UK, cheers!

Also, if you look at the part numbers for the RPM arms you have in the first picture and the ones in the last picture, the part numbers are different. That should have told you that you have the wrong ones.

Good point thanks, will bear that in mind re part numbers but gathered that from the fact they look very different. Didnt even occurs to me when I orderd them a while ago because I didn't realise there was a previous 2wd vorteks so just looked for vorteks. Learned something new. New ones orderd. If anyone wants these 2wd vorteks arms they can have them for the postage, cheers all
