Key Features
- Hardened Steel Construction — These suspension pins are manufactured from hardened steel, which provides exceptional strength and durability to withstand the intense stresses generated during aggressive driving, high-speed jumps, and rapid cornering without bending or deforming under load.
- Precision Engineering — Manufactured to Traxxas' exacting specifications, these pins ensure a perfect fit with your existing suspension components, delivering reliable performance and eliminating any compatibility issues or loose tolerances that could compromise handling.
- Complete Pin Set — The set includes four individual pins in two different sizes to accommodate various suspension mounting positions, providing comprehensive coverage for front and rear suspension systems depending on your specific RC model.
- OEM Specification — These are genuine Traxxas original equipment manufacturer replacement parts, ensuring they match the exact specifications of the components originally fitted to your RC vehicle during factory assembly.
- Essential Maintenance Part — Suspension pins are wear items that require periodic replacement as part of routine RC car maintenance, making this set an affordable way to maintain optimal suspension performance and handling characteristics.
- Genuine Spare Part — Choosing genuine Traxxas spares means avoiding cheap counterfeit alternatives that may fail prematurely and compromise the safety and performance of your RC investment.
Technical Performance
This suspension pin set represents the pinnacle of precision engineering for RC suspension systems. The hardened steel material has been specifically selected to provide maximum tensile strength whilst maintaining the precise dimensional tolerances required for smooth operation within suspension mounts. The 4x25mm pins and 4x38mm pins in this set are engineered to distribute loads evenly across the suspension geometry, preventing stress concentration that could lead to premature failure. The hardened steel composition resists deformation under the extreme forces generated during acceleration, deceleration, and cornering, ensuring your suspension geometry remains consistent lap after lap or bashing session after bashing session. For RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliable performance from their RC cars, these pins provide the engineering quality and durability that Traxxas is recognised for globally. The precision manufacturing ensures that pins slide smoothly into suspension mounts without play or wobble, maintaining the structural integrity of your suspension system and delivering predictable handling characteristics that serious racers and bashers depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why would I need replacement suspension pins for my RC car? — Suspension pins are stress components that experience constant loading during driving. Over time and with aggressive use, they can bend, crack, or wear, compromising your suspension geometry and handling. Keeping genuine replacement pins on hand ensures you can quickly restore your RC car to peak performance or get back on the track if a pin fails during a bashing session.
- Are these pins compatible with my Traxxas RC model? — This is a genuine Traxxas OEM spare part manufactured to original equipment specifications. Compatibility depends on your specific model, so we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our experienced team at RC Model Shop to confirm these pins are suitable for your particular Traxxas RC car.
- What's the difference between the 4x25mm and 4x38mm pins? — The two different sizes accommodate different suspension mounting positions on your RC vehicle. The 4x25mm pins are typically used in certain locations whilst the 4x38mm pins are used in others, depending on your specific model's suspension design. Both sizes are included in this set to provide comprehensive spare coverage.
- How often should I replace my suspension pins? — Suspension pins are wear items, and replacement frequency depends on your driving intensity and style. Casual bashers might replace them annually, whilst competitive racers or aggressive drivers may need replacements more frequently. Inspect them regularly for bending or damage, and replace them immediately if you notice any deformation.
- Why should I choose genuine Traxxas suspension pins over cheap alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas spares are engineered to the exact specifications of your vehicle and manufactured with quality control standards that cheap counterfeit parts cannot match. Genuine pins ensure perfect fit, reliable performance, and compatibility with your suspension mounts, preventing issues like loose tolerances or premature failure that could damage other suspension components.
