Overview

The Traxxas Suspension arms, upper, Black (left or right, Front or Rear) (2 pcs) TRX8929 are premium replacement upper suspension arms designed specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 scale 4WD short course truck. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to upgrade your suspension setup, or you need replacement parts after aggressive bashing, these heavy-duty upper arms deliver exceptional durability and performance. Built from Traxxas' proprietary composite material, these arms are engineered to withstand extreme punishment whilst maintaining the critical flex characteristics needed to resist breaking, even in cold weather conditions.

The Maxx Slash is a formidable 1/8 scale short course truck that demands suspension components capable of handling high-speed runs, massive jumps, and relentless off-road abuse.

The black anodised finish not only looks fantastic but also provides a professional appearance that complements any colour scheme you choose for your RC car.

RC car enthusiasts and weekend bashers alike will appreciate the versatility of these arms—they fit left or right, and work on both the front and rear of your Maxx Slash, giving you maximum flexibility when upgrading or repairing your suspension. If you've damaged your stock arms during aggressive use, or you're building the ultimate performance setup for your brushless 6S RC truck, these Traxxas genuine parts are the answer you've been searching for.

Key Features

• Fits Upper Left or Right Position — These suspension arms are designed to fit the upper left or right mounting location on your Maxx Slash, providing flexibility in your upgrade strategy and making replacements straightforward when needed.

• Heavy-Duty Performance Design — These are the best suspension arms you can fit to the Maxx Slash short course truck, engineered specifically for extreme punishment including skate park runs, ramp launches, and hard off-road bashing that demands suspension components built to last.
• Professional Black Anodised Finish — The black anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, ensuring your suspension arms maintain their appearance through countless runs and varying weather conditions throughout the UK.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Suspension arms, upper, Black TRX8929 represent the pinnacle of suspension component engineering for 1/8 scale brushless RC trucks in the UK market. Manufactured from Traxxas' proprietary composite material specifically formulated for high-load applications, these arms have been engineered to provide the structural rigidity needed to handle the enormous forces generated by a brushless 6S powered Maxx Slash whilst maintaining enough controlled flex to prevent catastrophic breakage. The composite material is temperature-resistant, performing reliably even during cold weather sessions where standard plastic suspension arms become brittle and prone to snapping. The black anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic—it provides a protective layer that resists oxidation and corrosion from exposure to moisture, dirt, and the harsh UK climate. Installation is remarkably simple, with the arms fitting directly onto your existing hinge pins and shock mounting points using standard button-head screws, making these an ideal upgrade for both experienced builders and those new to suspension tuning. The arms' geometry is precisely engineered to maintain the correct suspension geometry whether installed on the front or rear axles, ensuring your Maxx Slash maintains predictable handling and maximum grip whether you're blasting across a local skate park or tackling challenging off-road terrain. These components have been proven in Traxxas' official 3-Phase project builds and are used by enthusiasts worldwide who demand nothing but the ultimate in suspension durability.
