man i got these rpm a-arms,bulkhead,and bumper right. and i installed new bulkhead my other snapped and it worked out finr, then i got over the the rear arms, and when i put them on their so different than stock, like the shape and how they attach to chassis its so wierd i put em on and the wheels are way out of alighnment

anyone no how do fix this?? i mean i tried adjusting turnbuckles but it just wouldnt work the leaning in all sorts of ways anybodY?

buy the way i have an rc10 gt rtr thing dammit i dont no why its gay i swear they gave me the wrong ones later

Do you happen to have a pic of what you are talking about?

 

[spanko123]

sorry man this is best i could do,(poor)

their tiled in and leaning ni if ya no what i mean whole lotta caster camber toe in and out and all that good stuff ya no?

Hmm... If I can interprit that drawing right, you're saying the tires are tilted way in at the top? That means tons of camber. Are they straight from front to back? Sounds to me like they may have sent the wrong ones. Because if you installed them correctly and your camber is that far off, the arms may be longer than the stock ones. If you hold one of the RPM arms up to an original, is there a length difference? Also check the distance from the hinge pin mount to the point where the rear hub carrier mounts. Make sure they are the same.

Are you putting them on upside down or backward?
Also look to see if your blocks are installed properly and on the proper side.

When I installed my RPM front A-arms I had the a same problem they are about 1-1.5mm longre than stock. What I did was lengthen all the turn buckles to compensate and I came out fine. I used the measurements in the manual and added 1.5mm and went from there

 

[FastEddy]

I believe you put the caster blocks on backwards. If I remember correctly I did the same thing when I installed mine for the first time.

caster block?? not exactly sure what that is......like the rear hub thing? it spins that wheel i dont no what it is ok thanks ill try that stuff

 

[Candyman]

The rear caster block is the piece of plastic that's screwed to the chassis that the arm links to. If I read your post right, you didn't have to remove them did you? If you did, you could have put them on backward like Eddy said. That would throw the suspension geometry off a lot.
Hey, if you can, post the part # that RPM sent you so we can look it up and see what it is. That might help a little.

thanks guyys, man you so good. i got rpm stuff, the front arms went on beautiful cept the shock mounts??? that connect on the bottom theres 2 lil mounts instead of one but no problem and the rear arms everthingy all fouled up but i adjusted sum turnbukles with sum ol' trial an errer and its prett much set leans in towards body(horzontlly) but i look at other ppls and no problem there just when i took of stock rear arms there was this lil spacer thing on the wheel end and the rpm ones didnt have enough room for it so i just put it on. so i thibnk i got it fit. and i tihnk i no why adjusments are a little funky cuz it sais rpm arms(10t/gt/t2) so they fit em all so i guess its not perfect but good enough for me! they are blue too. and numbers......

rear arms rpm 70305
front arms rpm 70405
ok later
