Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Composite Material — Manufactured from Traxxas's proprietary composite material, these suspension arms are engineered to withstand extreme loads, hard landings, and continuous high-impact use that would damage standard plastic arms. The material has been specifically formulated to resist breaking even in cold weather conditions, making these arms suitable for year-round RC driving in the UK climate.
- Optimised Flex Engineering — The composite material has been designed with just the right amount of flex to absorb impacts and vibrations while maintaining structural integrity. This balance between rigidity and flexibility helps resist breaking during aggressive driving and provides a more compliant suspension feel that translates to better grip and stability.
- Adjustable Wheelbase Design — The adjustable wheelbase feature allows you to modify your vehicle's handling characteristics by adjusting the suspension geometry. This tuning capability is essential for optimising your RC vehicle's performance on different track surfaces and for fine-tuning your setup to match your driving style and local conditions.
- Left Rear Arm Configuration — These suspension arms are specifically engineered for rear suspension duty, with the left-side arm included. The upper (1pc) and lower (1pc) components work together to provide complete rear suspension articulation and support.
- Brightly Coloured Design — Available in vibrant colours that add both style and substance to your RC vehicle, these arms are easy to identify and distinguish from standard components. The bright finish also helps with visibility when working on your RC car or truck.
- Built for Extreme Punishment — Whether you're bashing off ramps, hitting skate parks, or pushing your RC vehicle to its limits in competitive racing, these arms are engineered to handle extreme punishment and provide reliable performance when you need it most.
