TRAXXAS Rustler VXL Front Upper Arm Alloy Replacement RUS054 by GPM  [RUS054]

Front upper arm upgrade for Rustler VXL

This alloy front upper arm is an aftermarket replacement made for the TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL chassis and carries the model RUS054 from GPM. Supplied as one pair, the arms match the factory mounting points and basic geometry so they install using the original chassis hardware.

Installation notes: remove the wheel and steering link to access the upper arm mounting pins, reuse the original hex screws and retainers where applicable, and check ball cup alignment before final tightening. Basic hand tools and a hex driver are enough for fitment; verify full steering sweep and suspension droop after installation to avoid binding.

Tuning role: replacing plastic upper arms with alloy parts increases stiffness at the upright junction and can shift steering feedback and front suspension response. Choose these arms when you want a metal replacement for maintenance or when trialing small steering geometry or stiffness changes; recheck toe and camber and adjust tie rods after fitting.

Use these arms to replace worn upper arms or to test small changes to front-end stiffness; perform routine setup checks after installation to ensure safe steering and suspension function.
