A Arms

[Driver127]

Hi guys,
My rear A arms went off due to a small accident

The problem is I want to know how to put it back on.

I think that the part I have a problem to put back on is the suspension shaft (that part that connects the arm to the body) its hard to force it in...

Thanks in advance.

Its possible you may have bent the shaft which may make it hard to put back together. I have assembled some that were "snug" but never had to use much force to get it in. The tighter the fit the tighter your suspension may become. If you roll the shaft on a table can you see any light unerneath?

The shaft seems to be too long.
Ok, let's say I want to replace my plastic arms with the RPM ones, how do I take out those I have and rebuild the RPM?

You see, the shaft goes into the arm, but than what? How do I contact it to the body?

I know nothing about this. Do I have to take the engine off?

The shaft goes into the arm, but how do I force it into the fame?

There is any manual of how to do these things?

The only assembly you could utilize would be the exploded view of your rig that you got with the truck. Typically there is a recessed hole that the end of the pin goes into and once assembled the other end will either have a c-clip or a screw that goes into the arm to hold it in place. It is possible that during your breakage that you may have broken more than the arm. How are the bulkheads and the recessed hole for the end of the pin to drop into? Are they still there?

Yes, they are still there.
Thanks, I looked at the book that came with the RC, and I think I will have an access to it, if I will take the battery box(located at the back).

Now I will have to order some tools.

Thanks, I will let you know if I made it....

Yea man, I just looked at the IPB and it looks like you will have to pull the battery box because the rear pin retainer is under it. I don't see how the pin could've come out without either the front or rear retainer not breaking, I'd double check them and make sure that they're not stretched out or broken.

Man, I don't now how it went out without breaking the retainer.
I just know, that the stupid batteries that came with the car was dying, and my rear wheel hit a wheel of a parking car

Failsafe or a low voltage detector will solve that problem........At least hitting the parking cars. They dont make anything for hitting curbs, houses, trees, telephone poles, people.........

I'd also try to mount a throttle return spring, a fail safe is only good if you still have power. I've landed a jump wrong and cut my rx power wire, I was lucky that the truck landed upside down but a failsafe wouldn't have helped.
