TRAXXAS Rustler VXL Front Upper Arm Alloy 1 pr RUS054 by GPM  [RUS054]

Alloy front upper arm for Rustler VXL

This aluminium front upper arm is an aftermarket replacement tailored for the TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL, listed under model RUS054 by GPM. The pair is supplied to match factory mounting holes and overall arm geometry so installation uses standard chassis hardware.

Installation notes: remove the wheel and disconnect the steering linkage to reach the upper arm mounting pins, retain and reuse factory hex screws and pins where suitable, and align ball cups before final tightening. Standard hand tools and a hex driver cover the job; check steering arc and suspension droop after installation to prevent interference.

Tuning role: swapping to alloy arms raises stiffness at the upright connection which can subtly change steering feel and front suspension reaction. Use these arms when you want a metal option for longevity or when testing small geometry adjustments; always re-measure toe and camber after fitment.

Perfect for replacing tired plastic arms or for experimenting with front-end stiffness; follow routine setup checks after fitting for predictable handling.
