Overview
The Traxxas Suspension Screw Pin Set (TRX3640) is an essential maintenance and upgrade component for RC enthusiasts who own Traxxas Bandit, Rustler, or Stampede models. This steel hex-drive suspension pin set is designed to replace worn or damaged suspension pins, ensuring your RC car maintains optimal handling and responsiveness on the track or off-road terrain.

Suspension pins are critical components in any RC car's chassis setup. They connect the suspension arms to the main chassis, and over time with regular use—especially in competitive racing or aggressive bashing—these pins can wear out or become damaged. The Traxxas Screw Pin Set provides a cost-effective way to restore your vehicle's suspension geometry and handling characteristics without having to replace entire suspension assemblies. For RC car owners in the UK looking for genuine Traxxas replacement parts, this suspension screw pin set represents excellent value for maintaining your investment in quality RC equipment.
As a steel construction component with a convenient hex-drive design, this pin set combines durability with ease of installation. The hex-drive feature means you can use standard hex wrenches for quick and straightforward installation, making it an ideal choice for both workshop maintenance and trackside repairs. This is the kind of spare part every responsible RC car owner should have on hand, whether you're running a 1/10 scale stadium truck, short-course racer, or dedicated basher.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Suspension Screw Pin Set is engineered using hardened steel materials selected specifically for their resistance to bending, breaking, and permanent deformation during high-speed running and impact events. The hex-drive design represents the industry standard for RC vehicle suspension pins, offering a secure connection that prevents accidental loosening whilst remaining easy to remove and replace when maintenance is required. The pins are precision-manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy that guarantees proper fitment within your vehicle's suspension geometry. Whether you're running your RC truck on tight technical courses, wide-open bashing areas, or competitive racing venues, these pins maintain their structural integrity through thousands of cycles. The steel construction—rather than cheaper alternatives—means you won't experience the deflection or wear-related handling changes that plague lower-quality suspension components. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who want reliable, OEM-quality replacement parts that won't compromise their vehicle's performance or require replacement again within a few months, the Traxxas TRX3640 is the professional choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models is this suspension pin set compatible with? — This TRX3640 screw pin set is designed for the Traxxas Bandit, Rustler, and Stampede model lines. It's also compatible with multiple variants of the Traxxas Slash, including the Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, Slash VXL 1/10 4x4 RTR Short Course Truck in various colours (green, blue, orange, red), and the Slash HD XL-5 1/10 2WD RTR Short Course Truck. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Why do I need part #2640 alongside this product? — The TRX3640 screw pin set is one component of a complete Traxxas suspension pin system. Part #2640 represents the complementary set, and together they provide all the suspension pins your vehicle requires. Depending on which specific pins have worn or damaged, you may need one or both sets to fully restore your suspension.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Replacing suspension pins is one of the most straightforward maintenance tasks you can perform on an RC car. The hex-drive design means you only need standard hex wrenches to complete the job, and no specialised tools or technical expertise is required. Even beginners who've just purchased their first Traxxas RC car UK model will find pin replacement completely manageable.
- What makes steel pins better than plastic or aluminium alternatives? — Steel offers superior durability and resilience compared to plastic pins, which can crack or shatter under impact. Unlike some aluminium pins that may bend during aggressive driving, hardened steel maintains its shape and structural integrity through thousands of running cycles. For a small additional cost, genuine Traxxas steel pins significantly extend the lifespan of your suspension system and reduce your long-term maintenance costs.
- Will upgrading to these pins improve my RC car's performance? — If your vehicle currently has worn or damaged suspension pins, replacing them with this genuine Traxxas set will restore your vehicle's suspension geometry and handling to factory specifications. This means sharper cornering, improved stability, and more predictable handling characteristics. However, if your pins are already in good condition, this is a preventative maintenance item rather than a performance upgrade.
- Can I use third-party suspension pins instead? — Whilst third-party options exist, genuine Traxxas pins are engineered to exact specifications for your specific model. Using non-OEM pins risks improper fitment, altered suspension geometry, and potential handling issues. For best results and peace of mind, genuine Traxxas components are always recommended.
