I own 2 Traxxas Stampedes. One has a set of aluminum arms and the other has rpm ones.
Generally some flex points make sense . So far nothing weird happening with the Stampede with the Golden Horizons solid aluminum arms. However... That is with 3S use. Not sure what might happen when I upgrade my motor and esc and start to try 4S and up usage.
Yes, really. You boil them for 10 minutes and then some people spray them with WD-40 and let them soak for 24 hours and then wipe off the excess. It makes them more flexible and less likely to break. I am 50/50 on the WD-40 depending on the time I have.Boil them? Really?
I agree. RPM are much beefier than stock parts and yes they do carry a lifetime warranty. Hard to beat it.Huh, boil them, soak them in wd-40? I would just get RPM arms and call it good. RPM has superior plastics. I believe they have a lifetime warranty too
I have definitely sprayed them with WD but what does the boiling do?Yes, really.

I honestly don't know. I have just seen both of those things done to a arms on other forums. I don't know what they do exactly or if they do anything at all. I haven't done any testing to know for sure if they make an impact or not.I have definitely sprayed them with WD but what does the boiling do?

For the Talion, Kraton and Outcast, yes, I would definitely go RPM. Unfortunately for my Senton and Typhon there aren't any other options.I think it makes it more flexible but I am not positive. But why bother when there is this company called RPM, haha
Right! I am running rpmI think it makes it more flexible but I am not positive. But why bother when there is this company called RPM, haha
