The
RPM True-Track Rear A-arm Conversion Kit for the Revo
eliminates some of the biggest headaches associated with toe link rear
ends. Rear toe angles are nearly impossible to set accurately and there
isn't a gauge currently made that can accurately identify whether each
individual wheel’s toe angle is set correctly in relation to the
chassis. The RPM True-Track rear end kit completely
eliminates the rear toe links, locking in the rear toe angle at a solid
1.5 degrees per side for a total rear toe-in angle of 3 degrees. By
getting rid of the rear toe links, we’ve
completely eliminated all rear bump steer! That means the rear toe angle
remains consistent throughout the entire range of suspension travel,
providing superior rear end tracking regardless of the terrain. Identical
to our T/E-Maxx True-Track Kit, the Revo True-Track Kit retains the stock
upper pivot ball in the new, ultra beefy RPM axle carrier to
allow precise camber adjustments while the lower pivot ball has been
eliminated in favor of a rock-solid 4mm diameter hinge pin that locks in
the rear toe angles for race winning consistency (hinge
pin replacement part #80970).
All aspects of the RPM True-Track Conversion Kit have been
beefed up for rugged durability and slop free movement throughout its
range of travel. Additionally, we’ve incorporated our oversized bearings
into the new RPM axle carrier design, providing an
additional 2mm more bearing contact with the axle while doubling the
bearing load rating & tripling the fatigue rating over the stock
bearings. So
does all this come at a cost of added weight? The RPM Revo
True-Track Rear A-arm Conversion Kit actually weighs LESS than the
stock components it replaces! How much less? 16 grams PER SIDE! That’s
a total weight loss of 32 grams or 1-1/8 ounces! That means you get
perfect rear toe angles, added A-arm strength, bearings that are more
durable & longer lasting, an unbeatable breakage warranty and a reduction
in weight! What more can anyone ask for? "Bump Steer" Defined: So what is "bump steer"? Bump steer is a change in the wheel's toe angle caused by the suspension moving up or down. Bump steer is inherent to the geometry of the suspension and steering system, and has nothing to do with turning the steering wheel. The effect of bump steer is for the wheel to toe-in or toe-out when the suspension moves up or down. This toe change or “steering” occurs any time the suspension moves, whether it is from body roll, brake-dive, or hitting a bump in the road. Bump steer is undesirable because the suspension is steering the car instead of the driver. Bump steer is most common on the front end of R/C vehicles due to the unavoidable use of a tie rod to allow the vehicle to steer. Vehicles with a toe link rear end such as the Revo also have a similar amount of bump steer in the rear because the axle carrier isn't locked in a fixed position and constantly being pushed and pulled by the toe link as the suspension moves up and down. This doesn't account for the slop in the rod ends of the toe link which causes even more toe angle changes. See for yourself. Look down at your vehicle from the top and compress the suspension. See what happens to the rear toe angle? Each wheel changes by at least a degree or two which can be quite significant. Now imagine that amount of movement while your suspension arms are moving independently from each other and you'll understand why the True-Track kit is such an effective tool to dramatically improve suspension performance. What’s
Included: Our Revo True-Track Rear End Kit consists of two
upper rear A-arms, two lower rear A-arms, two beefy rear axle carriers,
two outer 6x15mm sealed bearings, two inner 12x21mm sealed bearings, two
aluminum pivot ball setscrews, two delrin pivot ball bushing cups, two
M3x16mm shock mount screws, two 4mm diameter tool steel hinge pins &
enough e-clips to get the job done (4 minimum). RPM Recommendations: The RPM True-Track System is designed to match RPM A-arms (Part #80212 & #80215 - Right Side & #80222 & #80225 - Left Side) & Axle Carriers (#80582 & #80585 - 1 package needed) currently available for the Revo. With the True-Track system mounted at the rear and a set of RPM replacement A-arms & Axle Carriers up front, you are assured the best performing & most indestructible A-arm / Axle Carrier combination possible! To prolong the life of your bearings, RPM recommends the use of our #81170 Bearing Blaster. For accurate camber adjustments, please consider the use of our #70950 Monster Camber Gauge. Tech
Notes: These rear end kits work on all versions of the Traxxas
Revo. One kit will complete the entire rear end of any Revo. These kits will
not work in conjunction with Traxxas (#5356) 120-LT Long Travel
Rockers.
Suggested Retail Price $49.95
What’s
Included: Our rear end kit Recommendations: The RPM True-Track System is designed to match the A-arms (Part #80462 & #80465) & Axle Carriers (#80582 & #80585) we currently produce for the T-Maxx. With the True-Track system mounted at the rear and a set of RPM replacement A-arms & Axle Carriers up front, you are assured the best performing & most durable A-arm combination possible! Tech Notes: This rear end kit works on all T-Maxx 2.5R, T-Maxx 3.3 & E-Maxx 16.8 versions. It can be adapted to work on earlier versions of the T/E-Maxx such as the T-Maxx 1.5, T-Maxx 2.5, S-Maxx & earlier E-Maxx versions simply by upgrading the axles to T-Maxx 3.3 versions. One kit will complete the entire rear end of your truck.

RPM
rear shock towers for the Traxxas Electric Stampede, Electric Rustler
& Bandit are molded in black and are backed by our famous breakage
warranty. These towers are direct replacement parts for ease of
installation. Tech
Note: These rear shock towers can be used on the Traxxas
Bandit. However, there are no provisions for a rear wing built into these
shock towers.

The
RPM rear shock tower has been engineered with a wide,
diamond-shaped opening that easily permits the stock easy-start connector
to move through the shock tower allowing quick and easy removal and
installation of the shock tower without disconnecting any wires. For
those Nitro Stampede owners, we added two body mounting holes in the rear
shock tower so you can use 4 screws instead of 2 to secure the stock body
mounts to the shock tower (additional mounting screws not included).
Suggested Retail - $8.95 ea.

needed structural strength to this vital suspension component. Our design
uses an I-beam structure that adds tremendous levels of strength and
rigidity that is far superior to u-shaped or flat designs. Our front shock
