Before You Begin: Installing RPM A-arms is as simple as removing your stock A-
arms and replacing them with your new RPM versions and attaching your shock
mount rods using the included 2.5mm diameter, 12mm long button head screws.
Please note; the shock mount screw will thread in both sides of the shock mount,
not one, like your stock shock mount holes. Each A-arm is labeled on top of the
pivot ball boss with an "L" - left or "R" - right, for easy identification. The letters
and RPM logo will face up when installed.
Pivot Ball Installation: RPM A-arms have a deeper pivot ball hole to prevent the
pivot ball from bottoming out in the hole. Thread the pillow ball into the A-arm
until the threads end exactly at the end of the A-arm. At this point, turn the pivot
ball in a number of turns based on whether it is an upper or lower pivot ball:
· For an upper front pivot ball, turn it in four full turns.
· For a lower front pivot ball, turn it in five full turns.
· For an upper or lower rear pivot ball, turn it in four and a half turns.
These setting will most closely replicate your original, stock A-arms. Do not
bottom the pivot ball threads in the hole - you will stress the a-arms and void
your RPM warranty.
Toe Angle: Toe-In should be checked prior to setting your camber with an RPM
Toe-In Gauge (RPM #70492). Toe is the most critical setting when using fixed-
length tie rods (front) and toe rods (rear). Set the toe angle to read approximately
-½ to -1 degree of toe in. Turn both upper and lower pivot balls equally until
proper toe has been found then check your camber angles. Do not turn the pivot
balls in any further than the settings listed above.
Camber Angles: Use your RPM Camber Gauge (RPM #70992) to accurately
check your camber angles at each wheel. Proper camber angles vary according to
personal preference (from zero to -3 degrees, never use positive camber). If you
have fixed-length tie (toe) rods, you'll need to make equal changes to both the
upper and lower pivot balls to adjust your camber so it won't affect your toe
angle setting (i.e. for ½ turn clockwise of the upper ball, you'll need to turn the
lower ball ½ turn counterclockwise or vice versa - never turning them in further
than the settings mentioned above). Use Caution: With fixed-length tie (toe)
rods, your camber adjustment is limited!
What to Check: First, do you still have full steering movement? Second, do you
still have full suspension movement? Lastly and most importantly, is the pivot
ball threaded in further than the RPM recommendations above? Correct any
issues before running your Mini E-Revo with your new RPM A-arms installed.
