There is very little that can be as frustrating on an R/C vehicle as slop in the suspension system. In the case of the 1/16th scale E-Revo, Slash & Rally, there is absolutely no slop adjustment for the suspension pivot balls. Once the axle carriers begin to wear at those balls, the camber, toe and caster angles don’t stay true, causing the vehicle to wander, making it very difficult to control. That is where RPM steps in. Our new 1/16th scale Axle Carriers have a unique pivot ball retention system that locks the pivot ball in place, yet still allows for adjustment due to wear. Our system is based on a cap design, held in place with a pair of small screws. Simply slip the caps in place, tighten the flathead screws until the free play of the pivot ball is eliminated and you’re ready to go! RPM Axle Carriers have been completely redesigned for added durability and crash-survivability. RPM engineers found that the stock pivot ball opening could be reduced in size to help support the pivot ball better, meaning a significantly lower chance of pulling the ball through the hole. The redesigned overall shape and superior materials that go into our version make them the best alternative at the lowest price available! And to top it off, RPM axle carriers are marginally lighter than the stock versions! RPM Axle Carriers for the 1/16th scale Traxxas E-Revo, Slash & Rally are molded in three color options – black, blue and red, perfectly matching our already well-known and respected set of mini E-Revo A-arms. Designed, manufactured and molded right here in our facility in sunny Southern California! At RPM, we bring pride to the expression “Made in the USA”!

Besides the frustration of the screws RPM provided stripping out I liked these at first. They removed most of the slop, weren’t hard to install and after replacing the screws had adjustable pivot ball covers. However after about 3 months the pivot balls started popping out of the backside of the carrier. No big deal as it was a quick rebuild and back to new. Yeah right! The issue became so bad that I couldn’t run a whole battery without the pivot balls coming out of the carrier. Called in a warranty and was denied as RPM feels that the pivot ball popping out isn’t a product defect. I was directed to soak them in boiling water for a minute as this would help “reshape” the hole. This held for about a week before it began popping again. I switched to aluminum carriers and haven’t had an issue since. This by far has to be the worst product produced by RPM. I’d stay clear of this one.

Good fit. Requires pivot balls to be adjusted further out to get full steering throw.

Great and durable RPM part. Its not an arm so you don't have to worry about it flexing in the summer heat. Works great!

These are a PERFECT replacement to the stock axle carriers on my 1/16 e-revo. The caps that popped in to hold the pivot balls loosened up way too much and I found these as a cheap and easy replacement. I saw that the pivot ball caps on these screw instead of popping in. And let me tell you I'm extremely impressed. The pivot balls stay in place no matter how hard I drive my merv. These were incredibly easy to install and they fit perfect. No alterations needed to be done at all. I recommend to any one with a traxxas 1/16 vehicle. Even if you haven't had issues with yours before. Cause trust me, you will

These RPM carriers are tough. I have a 3 (almost 4 year old) and he runs his 1/16 hard and these can take the hard hits, jumps, etc. Highly recommended if you need a sturdy rig for a punishing child or adult.

These are indestructible. I have them on my traxxas slash 1/16 with gpm wheel extenders and they work great. Stock carriers broke immediately so I ordered these and have not regretted it. Actually my aftermarket wheels have broken several times (super glue) and yet these are like brand new. Best thing is that they are adjustable so when slop starts occurring just tighten and your good to go.

These carriers seem like nice but they dont hold the control arm ball joints in well enough. If you run into anything at a relatively slow speed (2s geared for long run times) then both upper and lower control arm will pop off.I regret not going with the aluminum axle carriers.
