RPM Nero parts?

[smithgpz]

does anyone know if rpm plans to make parts for nero? like suspention arma,hubs,bumpers etc.

Nothing has been announced yet @smithgpz. Your best bet is to email RPM and let them know you'd like parts made - the more people do this the likely they are to make them.

Thanks WoodiE, I'll do that.

I actually called them at one point and asked if there are plans to make any rpm parts. The short story was no. He basically told me that if enough people are wanting a certain part, say lower a-arms, then they will. I am still very surprised some of the hits that my nero has taken. I don't really see a need in rpm stuff tbh.

 

[smithgpz]

good info. thanks.

If you are looking for aluminum suspension arms, GPM does make them for the Nero now. I am not sure what type of aluminum they use though.

You probably already know, but Hot-Racing and GKA Custom also make aluminum hubs and rockers for the Nero. GPM is the only place that I have found the arms though.

I have to completely disagree on the GPM parts. Maybe buy their magnetic body mounts, but leave the other pretty crap alone. I fell into their trap and stock Arrma and Hot Racing aluminum parts are way better quality of aluminum. I recently got their 7 rod custom Nero set and rocker arms. If your worried that stock Arrma ends are gonna brake youre damn straight the weak ends they put on their M4 threaded rods are going to. Not only that, but the hollow balls in all of the rod ends are 5.8 with scrawny flanges and hardly the range of motion of the stock 6.8 balls like all the major suspension rods in the neros have, minus the drag link. The arms feel if my 9 year old squeezed them too hard they would snap. I'm a newbie to the R/C world but no newbie to good strong aluminum parts. As a retired Army combat veteran that carried forged aluminum Colt M4s and M16s in combat and have ground up built and milled multiple AR15 and AR10/LR308 platforms from forged, machined billet 7075, and machined billet 6061, I have kinda learned to feel the difference between what I'd trust to make it through tours of combat and what I'd place pretty on a benchrest at a sit still competition. So, if you're going to a car show or displaying your rc on the mantle, use the GPM pretty crap. If you're taking that fu#$er to combat.... Bullet proof that bi#$h best you can, drive it like you stole it and hope something breaks or you had no fun.

These should work just fine. In my search for replacement rod ends, I seen people were using traxxas 5347 rod ends. So I just searched for RPM 5347 rod end replacements and these popped up. I bought a set of their LONG ones to increase my ride height and they are way longer than stock however they look like they will work. I'm sure the short ones will work just fine as stock replacements. The only catch is you may need to buy a set of traxxas rod ends for the hollow balls. I'm not sure if the ARRMA balls will fit in the traxxas style rod ends.

 

[smithgpz]

the arrma balls will not fit traxxas ball ends.
