Agreed! Seems like the arms are hit or miss with fitment. On my 2wd I didn’t have to file them, but on my 4x4 slash I had to remove a decent amount of material to get them to fit right. They were seizing up my suspension lol.
RPM also makes offset compensating arms for the 2WD Stampede and Rustler. Although, for those you can also simply swap in Slash 2wd rear arms. They are shorter than the stock ones and will also accomplish a square stance. Shortening the rears to match the existing front instead of lengthening the front to match the rears. If you run FRONT offset wheels at all four, it will be incrementally wider. Same trick also applies with a square setup Slash. The neat thing about Slash arms on a Rustler/Stampede is, you get some toe in out back where they are basically at zero with the stock ones. I could NEVER keep my 2wd Rustler VXL pointed forward under acceleration as "stock" with a 3S battery. With the Slash arms, its extremely stable, a very fast and fun setup.
Man I learned a lot from your comment! Hadn’t even considered swapping arms from a slash to a rustler or stampede, but you’re right. I could totally see how that would help.
@@FAST_RC I am sure others have done what I do with the 2wd Rustler/Stampede but I remember getting comments of “oh, the extra stability from the wider front arms is so much more worth it.” Without that toe in out back, you’re spinning out not going fast. I suppose in the end if you run the RPM transmission housing, which allows you to add toe in, you can then run the wide fronts and have the best of everything… … but that’s a lot more expensive than just rear arms and that transmission is still not as good as a Magnum upgrade.
RPMA arms - strong yet flexible-bought them for my MT10 - had to file them to fit- they are way better than brittle stock arms

Thank you! Currently working on my next video!
slash is awesome 👌 love mine,great tips to watch out for also ,and great upgrades 👍😀subscribed 😀👍👍👍
Thanks a lot! I Appreciate it!
Thx - low center of gravity LCG kit- $39 amzone
I think at some point I might switch to LCG. For now I look the body roll from HCG lol.
@@FAST_RCit’s the best upgrade- definitely worth the $
its a bummer that i spent an extra 300 on my slash 4x4 and finished my build for it and now this came out
I know the feeling man. I just spent a bunch of money on another stampede before the announcement lol.
You want proline trenches.. you should of just got the vxl to start the with
Tires are backwards
Great catch! Was wondering when somebody would call me out on that lol 🤦♂️
👍
