Technical Performance
The Traxxas tie bar mount TRX7716 represents precision engineering at its finest in the RC hobby sector. This suspension component is machined to exacting tolerances to ensure that the critical tie bar geometry remains perfectly aligned, which is absolutely essential for maintaining predictable handling behaviour across all driving conditions. The mount serves as the connection point for the tie bar assembly, which controls anti-squat and anti-dive characteristics of the suspension system. In high-performance RC vehicles like the X-Maxx 8S brushless monster truck and the XRT Ultimate, suspension geometry is absolutely critical because these machines are capable of generating enormous cornering forces and experiencing extreme suspension travel. The tie bar mount must maintain its dimensional accuracy under these demanding conditions to prevent premature wear, unpredictable handling changes, or loss of performance. Traxxas has engineered this component to integrate seamlessly with their advanced suspension designs, ensuring that when you install a fresh mount, your RC car UK setup performs exactly as it did when new. Whether you're running LiPo batteries at full 8S voltage, pushing your brushless motor to maximum RPM, or tackling rough terrain at high speed, this mount provides the structural foundation needed for confidence and consistency behind the transmitter.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a tie bar mount and why would I need this replacement part? — The tie bar mount is a suspension component that connects the tie bar to the chassis, controlling how the suspension articulates and maintains chassis alignment. If your RC car is showing unpredictable handling, premature tyre wear, or if your existing mount has cracked or become damaged from impacts, replacing it with this genuine Traxxas part will restore your vehicle to factory performance specifications.
- Which Traxxas models use this tie bar mount? — The TRX7716 is compatible with the X-Maxx range (including Belted variants in all colours), the X-Maxx Ultimate models, the X-Monster chassis, the XRT VXL-8S in all colours, the XRT Ultimate variants, and the Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S sand car, making it essential spares for owners of these premium ready to run RC machines.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spares part designed for owners of advanced Traxxas RC vehicles who already own the base model.
