RPM arms for hyperspeed

[Gummybear13]

So I looked on RPM's site and couldnt find a listing for my buggy...no surprise there right?
Well I eye balled a bunch of pictures and think that I found arms that look darn close from traxxas bandit. So I E-mailed RPM, this what I got back:

WE don't have anything to fit that vehicle that we know of sorry.
RPM

does someone know of a rig that I can barrow from? I have heard that
HPI MT2 has the same front hub carrier and that the bandit wheels will work for my vehicle, but nothing on better arms. I will provide a pic so everyone will know what I am looking for.

Your best bet is to take the arms into a hobby shop and see if they can help you find some RPM arms.

yeah I figured that would be best, but unfortunately I work pretty much the same hours they are open...sad day right? LOL.
I was just hoping maybe there was one of those new fangled Rc guru's that could help.

Thanks ham.

Unfortunately, there are not many guys on here running off brand rigs, which is why we are having trouble helping you out. Sorry

yeah I hear ya, I can't drop the kinda money some of these guys have to be in this hobby though, so before I buy a top notch rig I wanted to learn from and tear up a cheapy before committing to such an expensive rig.

anyways its nothing I can't figure out on my own I guess.

We try to help when we can, but we can't always do it.

 

[Gummybear13]

its no biggie hamz, I understand.

 

[Gummybear13]

Well I went to our only hobbyshop today to match A arms and got the same warm reception I got here when I said what brand I am using...and after looking through a half dozen arms I went home empty handed.

 

[hamz9561]

Sorry about that, dude. Get some stock arms for it and beat it like a redheaded step child. When it's dead get yourself a better one like stated earlier.

 

[Gummybear13]

Oh as soon as I get a hang of everything I plan on putting it through its paces and doing a full review of my "intro" into the RC hobby with this car.

I just have to find a good spot to bash it because our local track DEWEY'S closed this winter...it is a shame too, I dont think they lasted more than a year.

 

[Gummybear13]

ok kids, I have been looking at A arms for a few hours and these are what I came up with...
here is what comes on the buggy now: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-14197398381157_2148_73374010

here is what I think might work:

and:
http://www.rcplanet.com/Cen_Front_Suspension_Arms_p/CEGMX009.htm


Let me know if you guys see any problems with trying one of these.

 

[hamz9561]

Don't get the Integy arms. Integy has the prettiest but least durable aluminum parts on the planet. The only thing worse than their materials is their quality control and customer service. I have painful first hand experience with them.

 

[Gummybear13]

Integy being PAINFUL to deal with aint no lie, I ordered an air filter a month ago almost and I just got a tracking number from them a week ago and it still hasn't "left" California yet...

I looked through HPI, losi, associate, traxxas, mugen and those are arms are the only ones i found to even look close...I dont plan on dealing with Integy, I was just using there site to look at pics.

Is there any other sites or brands I can check??? I know HSP makes redcat, himoto, and exceed more or less...but I am looking for better quality.

THanka again hamz.
