RX3 Tornado Pivot Arm Design Review

[@henryquinones1912]

this just made my my upgrade list.... Many options out there but 3x3 with pivoting arms 🔥🔥 Need it for my garage gym

[@GetRxd]

So glad we could make it onto your upgrade list :) We think it's gonna be a game-changer for garage gyms!

[@sagerkoheel3068]

Cant wait until they are available

[@GetRxd]

currently they are available either as a rack bundle: www.getrxd.com/rx3-tornado-rack.html (Pre-order), or the Tornado arm set: www.getrxd.com/tornado-pivot-arm-set.html

[@GetRxd]

They are available on our site: www.getrxd.com/tornado-pivot-arm-set.html

[@sagerkoheel3068]

@GetRxd I went to go purchase but it no longer has the option to but the Tornado arms separately. How do I do that?

[@GetRxd]

​@@sagerkoheel3068 We're currently only offering as a set with the weight stack, pulley assemblies, etc together, see here: www.getrxd.com/tornado-pivot-arm-set.html Do you already have a rack, weight stacks, pulleys, and cables. What brand are you using?

[@sagerkoheel3068]

@GetRxd yes I do, no specific brand. When I first saw the Tornado arms, I went on got custom pieces welded for it. I have the weight stacks, pulleys and cables as well. And am using titan fitness uprights currently, 75mmx75mm with 26mm holes. When will I be able to purchase a pair of the Tornado arms?

This is very innovative 💡. Almost perfect, rollers on trolleys would be better than just plastic. Is there a plate loaded version?

[@GetRxd]

We will have plate loaded options for our tornado configurations roughly February/March 2025. We decided not to use rollers on the trolley and opted for just plastic sleeves inside the clasp because we wanted it to be bomb-proof and as durable as possible. We saw some people had problems with rollers hitting their rack's crossbars or barbells and the rollers breaking. We felt it was best to offer something as durable as possible even if it sacrifices a bit of convenience without rollers. Since our uprights are chrome, the surface is smoother than powdercoat too, so the trolleys will slide better on chrome uprights as compared to powder coated uprights.

[@BANDANA___USMC]

So the Black is Powder Coat?​@@GetRxd

[@GetRxd]

@@BANDANA___USMC That's correct, black is powder coated uprights which is normally the industry standard. Our chrome uprights are one step above in that they're smoother

[@BANDANA___USMC]

@GetRxd ah man. I wish I had known that. I might have grabbed the Chrome ones for that reason. I only went with the black because I preferred the color 😆 🤣 My wife struggles with lifting the trolley from the ground with these.

[@GetRxd]

@@BANDANA___USMC We do sell the chrome uprights separately as well for those looking to upgrade the look and feel (www.getrxd.com/rx3-chrome-92-upright.html) 🙂 On the trolley lifting off the ground - will suggest to place one hand on the knurled handle and another on the bottom over-sized pop pin for a balanced glide up the upright. (may take time to get used to it - since its different from normal FT trolleys out there). Besides that, have you guys enjoyed the experience working out on these tornado arms? Would love to hear some feedback👍

[@aekara1000]

Can I use only one pivot arm for low row lat pull down and belt squat??

[@GetRxd]

@aekara1000, Yes you can - which you utilize one side of the weight stack.

[@ooijie9032]

can this arm handle a 310lbs weight stack?

[@GetRxd]

Yes, it can handle excess of 450+LBs

[@balboa0621]

Can you put the tornado arms on existing racks? It seems like you should, as long as you get the correct cable length, right?

[@GetRxd]

We sell the tornado arms as a set with weight stack, pulleys, pulley frame, and cables here: www.getrxd.com/tornado-pivot-arm-set.html

[@GetRxd]

We can’t guarantee compatibility with other brands’ racks, as this is designed for our RX3 uprights (92" tall, 75x75mm, 1" holes). If your rack’s dimensions and crossbars align closely, it should work, but we recommend double-checking! www.getrxd.com/tornado-pivot-arm-set.html

[@balboa0621]

​@@GetRxd I have a 75mm rack. How many inches does this add to the required cable length?

[@balboa0621]

​@@GetRxdthank you for your reply. I think there is definitely a market for this item for people who already have rack mounted cable systems. Even if they haven't bought from you guys before, you can bring in new customers with this a la carte.

[@GetRxd]

@@balboa0621 What brand rack and integrated functional trainer system do you have?

[@kevin-dv7jt]

I just brought the rep ares 2.0 i wish i saw this earlier, can the arm somehow fit in the ares?

[@GetRxd]

It's possible but please also check on the compatibility details here: www.getrxd.com/tornado-pivot-arm-set.html
