    My Version of Swing Arm Guards...






    Pm if you need them. I will include everthing to install ( First Pic - Three zip ties and one Screw are included). They are for stock swing arms but I can make them for the RPM True Track as well. Let me know what you guys think

    Hey, kvg20....I'd be careful trying to sell your own stuff on here. My account was suspended last summer for even talking about my own product. As soon as a mod sees this thread, it will most likely be deleted. Sorry, man. Cool product though!

    That bottom screw isnt needed. Push the truck up and down and you will see that it just causes binding. U may need to do a bit more trimming as well.

    Cool idea. I thought about doing something like that... and never got around to it.



    In a way, I think the patina of high mileage is something to be proud of.

    There is no binding what so ever.... That screw insures that the flap stays flush against the bottom a arm. Geometry my dear Watson!



    I Think They worked out just Fine!!!!!!!

    You may not see binding, but i did. The movement happens when you FULLY compress the shock. If u keep your zip ties a little loose and the material isNt rigid.... Then u may not see binding. I used the sides of an oil bottle for my material so...

    This is not the place to advertise the sale of your own parts. You are more than welcome to show off things you make for your Traxxas models though.
