RPM axle carriers and turnbuckle

[fix14wd]

So on the traxxas carrier for tmaxx, the turnbuckle/hollow ball.. it mounts between a couple "ledges". The rpm carrier only has one mounting ledge. Does the turnbuckle mount directly to it or what?

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Another question on the rpm carriers.. The stock yoke fits into the stock carrier no problem, but it doesn't seat far enough with the rpm carrier/bearings, I can't use the axle pin for the wheel hex. Am I missing some rpm components that should have purchased from the lhs??

I know its old, but I searched it. I have the same problem, exactly....any help?

Sounds like you are trying to use the old style axle carriers with the new wheel shafts.
The RPM carriers needed for the 3.3 spec wheel shafts look like this.

Thats it snook man...they gave me the wrong ones...Was hoping to have it all fixed and running today....Clippe a rock in the cold, and tore my arms and 2 shocks up on the left side. Bought rpm arms, carriers, and 8 big bore shocks...Thanks again

I hate it when those rocks jump in front of my rig! They act as if my rig is disturbing thier peace. lol

Rak...I think the rock is still laughing...

yup If looking on tower i think for some reason they say those old ones fit the new 3.3 but they dont. I had the same issues. But also remember if you switch to a true track rear kit in the t maxx it doesn't use the turnbuckles anymore, so don't be confused if you do that to the rear and see that the carriers have no "ledges".
