Why is your left rear upper a arm bent so far back?

[rollinondubz2002]

inotice the drivers side rear arm is tweaked severly.. maybe his uper arm mount is bent like crazy. or if he dont have the uper hing pins in there.........that wouls be crazy to leave em out cuz ull have to remove bumper to titen them up enless u got some flexable screwdrivers

I don't think he's got the big long pin thingies ("hinge pins") in yet :)

If memory serves me correctly, the RC Solutions MGT roll cage uses the two holes at each end of the chassis (initially there to secure the black "chassis end plug" things) to secure the cage. As a result, there is interference between the cage and RPM upper arms. The stock arms will fit just fine, but the RPM upper arms in the rear will require some modification to fit properly. This is not an issue at the front as the front A-arm mounts are angled slightly.

That is a awesome mgt! It's very heavily upgraded! How come the left rear upper a arm is bent far back?

Oh, I didn't saw the hinge pins. Got to look carefully at pictures next time.

Homer is right, the a-arms were not exactly installed yet, Winter is correct in the fact that you have to do a little dremel work on the rpm arms to get them to work with the rc solutions roll cage. To make the integy shock towers, hardcore titanium bumper braces and rc solutions roll cage work together you have to make a quarter inch spacer to fit under the bumper brace so the roll cage screw holes will line up with the spcified holes in the chassis. I am now just debating about if I want to stick with the aluminum steering knuckles, or if I want to change to the rpm blue knuckles. The problem I am having is that the pillow ball capture screws are coming loose on the knuckles. I expect that the rpm knuckles with their pillow ball retainers should hold up pretty well, and not work themselves loose after minor handling of the truck. I want to drive this truck still it is not a shelf queen so I need not only good looks, but functionality also. I have already installed the rr spur gear anad I think there really are not too many more aftermarket parts that I will be able to find and or get. If anyone else knows of some kind of hop-ups that I have not gotten on the truck yet let me know I would like to see what a completely aftermarket MGT drives like.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the aluminum aftermarket "side pans" where the fuel tank, etc mount? These look much cooler then the black plastic stock pieces.
