I have NIP XXTCR and XXXTCR rear arms. They both have the same part number.

so non xxtcr arms are longer??
so on a xxt how does a longer arm get get used if the drive axles are the same? hub carriers????

If possible. 1 Staple holding a package together is prob easy to repackage. I'm sure someone on here has the right parts....

The change from the original to the CR version was the inner mounting point of the arm. On the original, the arm mounts were part of the T-plate, like the current Duratrax set up. The CR version has a pivot support mounted onto the plate, making the hinge points a tad wider, thus shorter arms.
