TRAXXAS Rustler VXL Front Upper Arm Aluminium Upgrade RUS054 by GPM  [RUS054]

Front upper arm assembly for Rustler VXL

This aluminium front upper arm is an aftermarket component intended for the TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL platform and carries model RUS054 from GPM. The pair replaces the stock arms while keeping the same mounting points and geometry so it fits with factory hardware.

Installation notes: remove the wheel and steering rod to access the upper arm mounting pins, use the original hex screws and retainers when possible, and verify ball cup alignment before final torque. Basic hand tools and a hex driver are sufficient for installation; check steering sweep and suspension droop afterwards to prevent binding.

Tuning role: moving from plastic to alloy alters stiffness at the upright interface and can affect steering feedback and suspension dynamics. Fit these arms when you need a tougher replacement or when exploring minor steering geometry or stiffness changes; recheck and adjust toe and camber links after installation.

Good choice for replacing worn arms or tuning front-end stiffness; perform standard setup checks after fitting to maintain safe steering and suspension operation.
