RPM a arm problem.

[tmaxx3.3 487]

Hey guys.

i broke both of my front right a-arms, so i thought why not upgrade my whole truck? i got RPM a-arms for all around the truck. am i stupid? or is there really no way to mount the stock t-maxx 3.3 shocks to the lower a-arms? there are holes but the stock bolts wont go in. no threads? idk. please help

Thanks!

They go in just fine. Run all of the screws in first to start threads, then mount the shocks.

Actually, your better off using longer bolts and putting a locknut on the back. The RPM nylon is pretty soft and once you screw the shocks on and off a couple times, they all strip anyway.

Here's a shot of mine from many years ago:

It's a real pain to get the nut on there, but with a pair of needle nose, you can get it done. I went up through the bottom of the arm.
