I revived my first gen nitro hawk but broke a front a arm. Can someone let me know which current arms(rustler ect) work best on the hawk. I really don't wish to spend 25 dollars on an original set of hawk arms. She already has a combanation of white and black parts so black parts are fine.
Are there any current production Traxxas front a arms that work on a first gen Traxxas Nitro Hawk?

The hawk is back in action. I took the 50 mile trip to the HS and compared arms. The closest was the nitro rustler 2531x. They are just a hair longer and a little wider gap were it mounts to the chassis. I bought the longer pins 3739 and used a few small washers as spacers. Works great and I didn't have to pay a premium price for 25 year old, maybe brittle hawk arms.
Bolted on with no modification. I used small washers as spacers and adjusted the wheel settings sence the arms are a smidge longer.
I forgot to mention that I did have to use shorter bolts to mount the shocks to the arms. You could use the longer bolts in a pinch if needed, they would just stick out the fron a but.
Update
The nitro rustler rear arms are a direct fit with no spacers or modifacations needed for the nitro hawk.
Bolted right in.
