This is a pack of two optional RPM Offset-Compensating Front A-Arms, in Black color. If you’re anything like we are, keeping track of which offset wheel you have lying around for your Traxxas Slash 2wd or Nitro Slash and whether or not the wheel / tire has a front or rear offset can be a bit annoying. This is especially noticeable in the heat of the moment when you’re between race heats and need to slap something on the truck fast. The RPM solution is a simple one, the lengthened the front A-arms just enough to compensate for the difference between front and rear wheel offsets. Now you simply mount up all of your favorite tires on rear offset Traxxas (or RPM) wheels and never worry about different offsets again!
Alternately, you can remount rear tires on front wheels and use front offsets all the way around for a little extra width. The extra gain would be roughly 3mm (per side) in both the front and rear (see “Tech Notes” below) and adds stability to the truck. It may not be legal for racing, but who cares when you’re out having fun everywhere else? When you’re on the edge, every bit of stability counts!
RPM A-arms are based off of their already proven design for RPM80242, RPM80244 and RPM80245 Slash front A-arms so you know they’re tough. RPM Offset-Compensating Front A-arms for the Slash 2wd and Nitro Slash are built from RPM world-renowned blend of engineering grade nylons and backed by their limited lifetime manufacturer warranty against breakage for worry-free fun anytime, anywhere!
Tech Notes: RPM Offset-Compensating Front A-arms for the Slash 2wd & Nitro Slash requires rear offset Traxxas wheels (or RPM82332 – black or RPM82333 – chrome Revolver wheels) for the front. Using standard 2wd front offset wheels will widen the stance but may cause rubbing on the body, requiring additional wheel clearance in the wheel wells.

Dan Bogardo Verified Owner Sunday, Apr 20 2025 (5 months ago) RPM Offset-Compensating Front A-Arm for Traxxas Slash/Nitro Slash (Black) These A arms are awesome. I like them a lot. However people need to know a few things. If you own a Slash BL-2s truck with stock steering knuckles, you will need to grind down some of the bulk that makes these arms thicker. Also if you want to run the Traxxas GTR shocks, well a lot more modifications are required. The space where the shock mounts isn’t wide enough to accommodate the ball end of the shock. I had to use my Dremel to make the area wider, which then lead to stripping the screw holes out because a lot less plastic was available for the screws to bite into. I have no idea what front A arms accommodate the GTR shocks. In the end, I mounted the shocks forward of the arm and used a screw with a nut to hold the shocks in place.

All you need are these arms and another pair of front offset wheels to put on the rear and Boom! Your trucks wider! Fit and finish is perfect just like all the other RPM products I’ve used. They are more flexible than the stock arms, but not too much so the truck doesn’t feel sloppy. Great upgrade! View all reviews
