I heared about true trek doesn't rpm make those ? So you guys say I should go with rpm ? And how do you fix it ? How do I put the new ARM on ? My maxx is model number is 4907
 
There's not much to it. You need to remove the shocks, take off the steering knuckles, take off the tie rods, and then take off the arm pins if I'm not mistaken. For the best way to learn how to do it, there's always YouTube.
 
I'm about to try and fix my upper a ARM wish me good luck LOL I just take out the long pine that goes thro the ARM and then the shocks and then twist the ARM in tell it comes off right ?? I don't have to take off the knuckle or wheele hub and the blue seal over the pillow ball and all that stuff do I ? I can just unscrew the arm right when will it be faster ?
 
Just a suggestion but instead of asking the same question several different ways how about you go to the Traxxas website, download the Tmaxx file for your rig, open it to the suspension setup page, and install it per the instructions? Its actually a very easy job to do if you slow down and research the info you need to do the job. Try Youtube as well. theres probably 10+ vids on how to replace rc suspension arms. You will have 10 replies on here telling you to do the same job 10 different ways

Unfortunately, no it's not, but that's the reason they prefer to keep them covered in a burka.

How ironic that Phin's armpit avatar is being discussed in a thread titled, "Help with a arm".
Went from a arm to AN arm.

I will give a little more information if you have broken a front suspension arm you will also need to replace the pins along with it because they got bent in the process of hitting stuff.

I always have used the stock pins http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSP42&P=ML

I cannot remember how many times I have broken these parts on my 4910 TMaxx but have bought extra sets when I broke them. Came in handy years later.
