T MAXX BLUE ALUMINUM UPPER/LOWER A-ARMS SET
I found a set of T MAXX BLUE ALUMINUM UPPER/LOWER A-ARMS SET on e-bay and someone
ask the seller a question. Will they work with the 3.3 T-Max, and the seller said no they are
for the 2.5. I thought that the A-Arms were the same on the 3.3 and 2.5 am I wrong?
I just want to make sure they will work on the 3.3 T-Max before I buy them.
Thanks

Yes they would work,but if you are going to use the truck for anything more than a shelf queen I would not get them.
Unless you get UE or some other brand of 70/75 aluminum arms you will trash them.RPM for bashers or stock for racers,as the RPMs are heavier and they flex too much for some racers.

no, the driveshafts on the 3.3 tmaxx are from the revo, and are larger than the 2.5 driveshafts, the 3.3 arms will work with 2.5 UV's but the 2.5 arms will not work with 3.3 UV's. and aluminum bends pretty easily unless it is 7075, like the above poster said. and if you are bashing RPM arms are the only way to go. and RPM arms are not heavier than the stock arms, in most cases they are lighter. and they only flex under alot of preassure, so they won't effect the handling of the truck, and work fine for racing.

Why do you want aluminum arms? The RPM ones are sooo much better...they come with a lifetime warranty, wayyyy cheaper, won't bend or break...especially if you are hardcore like you say you are RPM is the way to go...aluminum will bend, and they are super expensive to replace as well...
