I'll be picking those up to try them out when they are released

. Tower has them listed as early january.

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · (#3 (**permalink**))

cheaper than an extended chassis !!

UE-Maxx · (#4 (**permalink**))

Yeah and if you put both the extended chassis and setback arms that would be even better.

snakebite46 · (#5 (**permalink**))

It would be like a Revo Limo !!!! LOL

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · (#6 (**permalink**))

Rimo???

Those arms were in the Feb '06 issue of XRC (why do they print these mags so far ahead??). It will probably be Feb before you can get your hands on a set.

UE-Maxx · (#7 (**permalink**))

They print it ahead because if you don't subscribe, you can buy the magazine in February and thats when it will be out.

Michowski · (#8 (**permalink**))

no they'll be out in 2 weeks. The guys from traxxas are saying that so we can take there word for it since there employees

JOE · (#9 (**permalink**))

there is another company that already has a set of arms that does the same thing, i will have to look around, plus the arms being shaped like that would affect bumpsteer i think but im not sure guess we will see next month

Qoncepts has 7075 grade aluminum knuckles that add wheelbase to the revo

Unlimited Engineering has setback suspension arms for the Racer X suspension kit (maxxs only)

Rob, does that affect the cvd at all because it's on an angle like that?

Does it affect the CVD when the suspension arms travel up and down?

UE-Maxx · (#13 (**permalink**))

No, but wouldn't it like be on twice as much as an angle when the suspension goes up or down?

Due to the angle, I would THINK the CVD would fall out due to over extending easier, but no one has mentioned anything about that, and they have been around for almost 3 months now, so we would have heard about it if people were having any sort of CVD related problems when running setback arms.

Yeah, just like with a stock setup, as long as you inspect your truck before running it, you shouldn't have a problem.
