|  Issue with the RPM arms
So I just installed the RPM arms on the Yeti and noticed the stock hinge pins (3x35mm button head) were not long enough to secure it so I went with the 3x40mm cap head screws based on another thread on this forum. With this setup the wheel tends to get stuck on the nut or cap head when turning. Any downsides to using a longer hub upfront? I have an extra set of Axial stock hubs. |

Stock wheels, it's getting stuck on the 3x40mm screw and nut where the caster block connects to the arms.

Ahh I see. Those wheels don't have a lot of clearance with those big rings. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk |

Use the stock screw, I've never put a nut on the end of mine with the RPM's. Put a dab of CA glue in the arm where the threads of the screw thread into if you want extra security. |

I just grabbed a really long screw I had put the nut on the back and cut the excess of the screw off. Works fine but I'm not using stock wheels. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk |

I used the stock screw without glue or anything. Is working great in the last 6 months. |

Mine were coming loose. Which is why I got a longer screw.

Mine would come loose all the time so I replaced them with 3mm rod held in with a set screw from the bottom   |
