Revo
True-Track Rear A-arm Conversion Kit
The
RPM True-Track Rear A-arm Conversion Kit for the Revo
eliminates some of the biggest headaches associated with toe link rear
ends. Rear toe angles are nearly impossible to set accurately and there
isn't a gauge currently made that can accurately identify whether each
individual wheel’s toe angle is set correctly in relation to the
chassis. The RPM True-Track rear end kit completely
eliminates the rear toe links, locking in the rear toe angle at a solid
1.5 degrees per side for a total rear toe-in angle of 3 degrees. By
getting rid of the rear toe links, we’ve
completely eliminated all rear bump steer! That means the rear toe angle
remains consistent throughout the entire range of suspension travel,
providing superior rear end tracking regardless of the terrain. Identical
to our T/E-Maxx True-Track Kit, the Revo True-Track Kit retains the stock
upper pivot ball in the new, ultra beefy RPM axle carrier to
allow precise camber adjustments while the lower pivot ball has been
eliminated in favor of a rock-solid 4mm diameter hinge pin that locks in
the rear toe angles for race winning consistency (hinge
pin replacement part #80970).
All aspects of the RPM True-Track Conversion Kit have been
beefed up for rugged durability and slop free movement throughout its
range of travel. Additionally, we’ve incorporated our oversized bearings
into the new RPM axle carrier design, providing an
additional 2mm more bearing contact with the axle while doubling the
bearing load rating & tripling the fatigue rating over the stock
bearings.
So
does all this come at a cost of added weight? The RPM Revo
True-Track Rear A-arm Conversion Kit actually weighs LESS than the
stock components it replaces! How much less? 16 grams PER SIDE! That’s
a total weight loss of 32 grams or 1-1/8 ounces! That means you get
perfect rear toe angles, added A-arm strength, bearings that are more
durable & longer lasting, an unbeatable breakage warranty and a reduction
in weight! What more can anyone ask for?
"Bump
Steer" Defined: So what is "bump steer"?
Bump steer is a change in the wheel's toe angle caused by the suspension
moving up or down. Bump steer is inherent to the geometry of the
suspension and steering system, and has nothing to do with turning the
steering wheel. The effect of bump steer is for the wheel to toe-in or
toe-out when the suspension moves up or down. This toe change or
“steering” occurs any time the suspension moves, whether it is from
body roll, brake-dive, or hitting a bump in the road. Bump steer is
undesirable because the suspension is steering the car instead of the
driver.
Bump steer is most common on the
front end of R/C vehicles due to the unavoidable use of a tie rod to allow
the vehicle to steer. Vehicles with a toe link rear end such as the Revo
also have a similar amount of bump steer in the rear because the axle
carrier isn't locked in a fixed position and is constantly being pushed
and pulled by the toe link as the suspension moves up and down. This
doesn't account for the slop in the rod ends of the toe link either which
causes even more toe angle changes. See for yourself. Look down at your
vehicle from the top and compress the suspension. See what happens to the
rear toe angle? Each wheel changes by at least a degree or two which can
be quite significant. Now imagine that amount of movement while your
suspension arms are moving independently from each other and you'll
understand why the True-Track kit is such an effective tool to
dramatically improve suspension performance.
What’s
Included: Our Revo True-Track Rear End Kit consists of two
upper rear A-arms, two lower rear A-arms, two beefy rear axle carriers,
two outer 6x15mm sealed bearings, two inner 12x21mm sealed bearings, two
aluminum pivot ball setscrews, two delrin pivot ball bushing cups, two
M3x16mm shock mount screws, two 4mm diameter tool steel hinge pins &
enough e-clips to get the job done (4 minimum).
RPM
Recommendations: The RPM True-Track System is
designed to match RPM A-arms (Part #80212 & #80215 -
Right Side & #80222 & #80225 - Left Side) & Axle Carriers (#80582
& #80585 - 1 package needed) currently available for the Revo.
With the True-Track system mounted at the rear and a set of RPM
replacement A-arms & Axle Carriers up front, you are assured the best
performing & most indestructible A-arm / Axle Carrier combination possible!
To prolong the life of your bearings, RPM
recommends the use of our #81170
Bearing Blaster. For accurate camber adjustments, please consider
the use of our #70950 Monster
Camber Gauge.
Tech
Notes: These rear end kits work on all versions of the Traxxas
Revo, including the e-Revo and e-Revo brushless but depending upon the
version, may shorten the wheelbase of the truck. One kit will complete the entire rear end of any Revo. These kits will
not work in conjunction with Traxxas (#5356) 120-LT Long Travel
Rockers. Due to the wide lower A-arm hinge pin configuration, some
aftermarket wheels - in particular, 3.2" beadlock wheels, may not
work with RPM True-Track kits. Check with the manufacturer
of your aftermarket wheels before installing this kit.
Replacement Parts: If new bearings are needed, please see the
replacement bearing kit #80570 shown with our Revo axle carriers
below. New setscrews and bushing caps - RPM #80010
can be found on our T-Maxx pages here.

Revo Tubular Front and
Rear Bumpers
(fits
all versions of the Traxxas Revo)
RPM
provides the added protection the Revo needs with unbelievable strength
and durability in our tubular front and rear bumpers. RPM
bumpers for the Traxxas Revo are made from our bulletproof blend of
nylons. RPM nylons are the best material for protecting your
Revo since our materials are lightweight, inexpensive, and tougher than
anything else available! We’ve reengineered the front and rear bumpers
to improve strength, especially around the screw holes, which eliminates
potential weak points, and we’ve designed a
recessed flat where with a little creativity, anyone can add in a
customized, scale license plate. Additionally, our rear bumper has a flat
area perfect for adding a ball stud for a faux ball hitch (see our FAQ
page of our website for more information). Our colors are molded into each
bumper so scratches and nicks won’t cut through to a different color
underneath. In addition, our chrome bumpers are molded over our metallic
silver bumper so scratches won’t show as easily as a stock bumper (where
black is the base color). RPM bumpers carry our lifetime warranty*
against breakage and will hold up to the roughest of punishment.

Head Guard for Traxxas
2.5 & 2.5R Engine Heads
The RPM Head Guard was designed to withstand
the toughest of rollover crashes and beg for more. Our head protector has
an additional 0.100” or almost 1/8” of additional thickness on top to
add extra skid and impact resistance to the fragile cooling fins of the
stock Traxxas 2.5 & 2.5R heads. Additionally, our Head Guard has a positive
locking system that absolutely will not allow the Head Guard to pull
itself free during a crash.
The
RPM Head Guard is designed specifically for the Traxxas 2.5
& 2.5R stock engine head which is currently used in many Traxxas models including
the Revo, Jato, T-Maxx, S-Maxx, SportMaxx, Nitro
4-Tec 2.5, & Nitro Rustler 2.5. The RPM Head
Guard comes with a full set of screws as well as complete
installation instructions. They are available in Black, Blue,
& Dyeable
Silver and are molded in our trademark blend of
bulletproof nylons for strength and durability unmatched by any other
material on the market!
Tech Note: There are many manufacturers producing aftermarket heads that fit
the Traxxas 2.5 & 2.5R engine but the RPM
Head Guard has only been tested and guaranteed to fit stock Traxxas 2.5
& 2.5R heads.
