Mr Terminator Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 At last RPM are about to release some of their unbreakable arms for the 5b,they're protos for testing before production begins.Don't know how long before they're available but should be quite soon,they'll be available in black and dyeable white,below are some pics of Orange and Purple dyed ones.They look like toy and summat you'd see on a babys teething ring but you can bet they're awesome kit,can't wait to get the black jobbies....

BuggsK100RS Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well the orange ones look good will fit with the Colour of some of the SS parts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLad Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I guess we'll have to order these from the States. RPM parts can be difficulty to get hold of here, and expensive Edited August 10, 2008 by HappyLad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terminator Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 With the warranty thet have plus the fact that they're super strong,well worth the money and I doubt they'll be as expensive as most of the alloy arms for the Baja so i'll be investing in some instead of the black alloy I was planning on...

BadRobot Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yuk, dont think i'l be touching the fisher price coloured ones. Would deffo get a set of black arms though, although i'm yet to break the stock baja arms so i'll see what sort of punishment the stock arms will take before i upgrade.

Merlin Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) The ones in the pic are dyed. undyed they will look like this: On the hpibaja forum it says phatdad is currently tesing a set. Hopefully we'll see em soon This is what RPM have to say about the warranty: These A-arms carry our limited lifetime warranty against materials and workmanship defects. However, the HPI Baja 5B is a huge and extremely fast vehicle. Although we have done everything we can to provide you with the best possible solution for extremely strong and durable A-arms, the physics and forces involved during crashes with vehicle are tremendous! If a failure occurs, please take a moment to determine if the part failed because of a problem with the material and/or workmanship of the arm or if what you were doing would be considered unusual in some sense. Please take responsibility for your own actions and we will take care of you on our end. We hope your new RPM A-arms shock and surprise you with their durability and performance!

Iv looked at the RPM Website and thay dont come in them colours. The ones in the pic are the white ones that have been dyed. According the the RPM website thay make parts in standardised colours (thay depend on the part but iv have found Blue, Black, Yellow, Purple, Pink, Dyeable White, Chrome, and Brass ) According to the Site thay are all Dyeable and the Chrome ones make some fantastic effects then dyed. http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/faq/dye.htm http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/faq/dyepg2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any gueses on how much a full set would cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Robot,not sure what price is as they haven't given any ideas but we'll see.I think they'll be cheaper than 60 quid though... ***EDIT*** My bad Buggs, I thought you were quoting something i'd said,i'm getting tired now,only took the meds half an hour ago and my heads going west...
