they are rpm 'teamcar' arms, which when used with a rc10t front kickup match the buggy front track width.

Oh... I'm not sure I understand Does this mean that these arms are longer than the buggy "long" arms but shorter than the truck arms?

OR

is it the same as using long front arms to match the width of the original "short armed" buggy...

nope they (RPM front arms) are longer than the long ones wich are longer than the short ones

In short, the long ones are too short to to use as long ones with a shorter RC10T front plate to have same width as rear...

HUH?

heres a picture, 10t, rpm, and buggy.



heres one of a rpm widearm front end compared to a stock buggy wide front end. see how the overall width is the same?



i freaking DIG the rpm front end...

and just to confuse some more, the rpm rc10 truck arms (not the 10t arms), the truck arms, are shorter than the worlds arms, but wider the the stock wide arms.

Umm... the 10T is a truck. Or am I just not catching a joke? haha

Nah, scr8p is right. It just sounded confusing. RPM made rc10 "truck conversion" arms for the buggy. They don't fit the truck bulkhead and are shorter than rc10t and world's arms (or equal length to world's arms?), but longer than standard associated buggy arms. Hard to find and not very popular.

Ok I thought the world's arm were the same as the buggy long arms... They are actually longer? Is there such thing as wrold "stock" arms? I mean made by Associated an not aftermarket... I like the T front plate on a buggy and I have many of thos laying around...

Associated never released a kit with a-arms as long as the RPM ones (I mean for the buggy), most probably because they were already working on the B2 at that time... Good old time when RPM was still working hard, now they're just happy with producing plastic bollocks for your backstreet bascher...

I agree that those "bollocks" are pretty dumb, but RPM still makes some good parts. I have all the RPM parts on my GT race truck, they work great.

Of course RPM still does produce some good parts, but on my B4 I only use one, a gear cover... Not so long ago you could find tons of tricky RPM things for your RC10. It's just a fact...

Asso-man, RPM dirty danglers are available in blue to fit your RC10b4 FT.

Yeah, I guess they don't do much for buggies anymore do they.
