Granite Why does this pin come out constantly? Typhoon arms on Granite BLX

[zbeckwith00]

Hey everyone,

Ever since I switched to Typhoon arms, this pin will not stay it. Comes out every time. Are there any fixes or installation advice you all might have for me? See image.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but do you have the capture screw installed? If so, it looks like it was split in half?

If not, RPM should have provided some larger diameter screws to screw into that hole to keep the pin in.

The small capture screw is missing/not installed.

Agreed.

Something is wrong with that a arm mine looks like this. And one of us has our shocks on backwards(probably me).

That is weird.the pin should be one that screws in

Looks like the screw portion of the arm sheared off. Grab a new set or get creative with duct tape or epoxy.

No those are terrible. Every vehicle I have had with them they always backed out on one side. Ask the Traxxas 2wd guys how much they suck.

The instructions from RPM clarify that the included pan head screw threads in and keep the hinge pin in place.
