Overview
The Traxxas Rocker Arm Set Progressive-2 (90-T) with red aluminium spacers is an essential upgrade component for RC enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their vehicle's suspension geometry and performance. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK competitor, a weekend basher, or someone exploring the world of RC modification, this precision-engineered rocker arm set delivers the advanced tuning capability that serious racers demand. Progressive suspension geometry allows you to optimise your RC model's handling characteristics across different driving conditions, making this component invaluable for anyone seeking to extract maximum performance from their Traxxas RC vehicle.
Manufactured by Traxxas, a globally recognised leader in RC technology and innovation, this rocker arm set represents the quality and precision engineering you've come to expect from the brand. The inclusion of eight red aluminium spacers provides you with multiple configuration options, allowing you to adjust your suspension geometry precisely to match your driving style, track conditions, and vehicle setup preferences. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK and beyond, investing in quality suspension components like this rocker arm set can make a measurable difference in cornering grip, overall handling balance, and on-track competitiveness.
The progressive-2 design means this component is engineered to provide variable motion ratios throughout the suspension travel, giving you finer control over how your suspension responds to bumps, acceleration, and braking forces. This level of tunability separates casual RC hobbyists from serious competitors who understand that suspension geometry is just as important as motor power or battery capacity when it comes to achieving consistent lap times and responsive handling on any RC track or terrain.
Key Features
- Progressive-2 Design — The progressive suspension geometry provides variable motion ratios as your suspension compresses and extends, allowing you to dial in the perfect balance between compliance and responsiveness for your specific driving conditions and preference.
- Eight Red Aluminium Spacers Included — This comprehensive set includes eight precision-machined red aluminium spacers that allow you to configure your rocker arms to multiple different geometry specifications, giving you the flexibility to experiment with different setups without purchasing additional components.
- 90-Tooth Configuration — The 90-T specification indicates this rocker arm set is designed to work with specific Traxxas models and drivetrain configurations, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance with your existing vehicle.
- Precision Engineering — Like all genuine Traxxas components, these rocker arms are manufactured to exacting tolerances using quality materials, ensuring consistent performance and durability even under the demanding conditions of competitive racing or aggressive bashing.
- Suspension Tuning Capability — By allowing you to adjust your suspension geometry, this rocker arm set enables you to optimise your vehicle's handling characteristics for different track surfaces, weather conditions, and driving techniques.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality — As an official Traxxas component, you can be confident that this rocker arm set meets the brand's legendary standards for quality, compatibility, and performance reliability.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Rocker Arm Set Progressive-2 (90-T) represents the culmination of decades of suspension design expertise from Traxxas engineers. The progressive geometry concept works by providing variable leverage ratios throughout the suspension's range of motion, which means your suspension responds differently depending on how far it is compressed or extended. This creates a more sophisticated suspension curve compared to linear designs, allowing you to achieve better grip during initial cornering while maintaining compliance over larger bumps. The red aluminium spacers included in this eight-piece set are precision-machined to tight tolerances, ensuring that each configuration delivers consistent and predictable handling characteristics. The aluminium construction provides an excellent balance between rigidity and weight savings, crucial factors in RC car performance. Whether you're setting up a brushless RC buggy for UK racing circuits, a short-course truck for bashing, or any other Traxxas platform, this rocker arm set gives you the suspension tuning tools that competitive drivers rely on to gain that crucial edge over the opposition. The 90-T specification indicates compatibility with specific Traxxas models and drivetrain configurations, ensuring that every spacer arrangement delivers the precise geometry changes you're aiming for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does progressive suspension geometry mean and why should I upgrade to it? — Progressive suspension geometry provides variable motion ratios, meaning your suspension responds differently at various compression points. This allows for more sophisticated tuning compared to linear designs. You benefit from improved grip during cornering while maintaining better bump compliance, making it ideal for competitive RC car racing in the UK where track conditions vary and consistency matters.
- Which Traxxas models are compatible with the TRX5358 rocker arm set? — The 90-T specification indicates this rocker arm set is designed for specific Traxxas models with that drivetrain configuration. You should verify your vehicle's specifications against Traxxas documentation or consult with an RC specialist to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- How do the eight red aluminium spacers allow for different suspension tuning? — The spacers can be arranged in different combinations to adjust the geometry of your rocker arms. By changing spacer configurations, you alter your suspension's motion ratio and leverage characteristics, allowing you to fine-tune how your suspension responds to compression and rebound for different track conditions or driving styles.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This rocker arm set is best suited for intermediate to advanced RC enthusiasts who have experience with suspension tuning and understand how geometry changes affect vehicle handling. Beginners may benefit from learning basic setup principles before investing in advanced suspension components like progressive rocker arms.
- What is the difference between progressive and linear rocker arm designs? — Linear designs provide constant motion ratios throughout suspension travel, while progressive designs vary the motion ratio depending on compression level. Progressive geometry allows more sophisticated handling characteristics and better performance across a wider range of driving conditions, making it preferred by competitive racers.
- Do I need any tools or additional parts to install this rocker arm set? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools and mechanical knowledge. You should consult your vehicle's manual and Traxxas technical documentation for specific installation instructions, as the process may vary depending on which Traxxas model you own.
