Overview
The Traxxas Suspension Arms Upper White (TRX8929A) are premium replacement suspension components designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand durability and performance from their RC car. Whether you're bashing at the local skate park, launching off ramps, or pushing your RC short course truck to its limits, these heavy-duty upper suspension arms are engineered to withstand extreme punishment. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks these genuine spare parts to keep your RC vehicle in peak condition, whether you're a seasoned competitor or discovering the world of RC for the first time.
These suspension arms represent the latest in Traxxas engineering and composite material technology. Each pair fits either the left or right side and can be used at the front or rear of compatible vehicles, offering versatile fitment options for your RC setup. The white colour provides excellent visibility during driving sessions and makes identifying worn components easier during maintenance checks. If you're looking for high-quality replacement suspension parts for your Traxxas Maxx Slash short course truck, these are the genuine OEM components that will restore your vehicle's handling characteristics and suspension geometry to factory specifications.
Traxxas has invested considerable research and development into creating composite materials that balance strength with flexibility. Unlike brittle plastic alternatives that can snap under load, these suspension arms feature the right amount of flex built into the design, allowing them to absorb impacts and landing forces without permanent deformation or failure, even in cold weather conditions when materials become more brittle. This makes them an essential upgrade or replacement for any RC car UK enthusiast who regularly sends their truck big or runs high-energy bashing sessions.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Composite Construction — These suspension arms utilise Traxxas's proprietary composite material specifically engineered for extreme durability and high load capacity, which means they're designed to survive the punishment that comes with serious RC driving without cracking or breaking under stress.
- Cold Weather Resistant Flex — The material has the right amount of flex designed into it to resist breaking even in cold weather, when many plastic components become brittle and fail; this engineering ensures consistent performance throughout the year regardless of seasonal temperature changes.
- Versatile Fitment Options — Each arm fits upper left or right positions and can be used at either the front or rear of your vehicle, providing maximum flexibility in your suspension setup and replacement options without needing multiple different part numbers.
- Extreme Durability Rating — Built specifically for extreme punishment including high-impact landings, ramp launches, and aggressive driving styles, these arms are built to last longer than standard suspension components even under the most demanding conditions.
- OEM Traxxas Quality — As genuine original equipment manufacturer parts, these suspension arms meet Traxxas factory specifications and are recommended for maintaining your RC vehicle's factory-intended handling characteristics and performance.
- Pack of Two — The TRX8929A comes with two suspension arms, allowing you to replace both sides of your vehicle in one purchase and ensure matching wear characteristics across your suspension geometry.
Technical Performance
These heavy-duty upper suspension arms represent Traxxas's commitment to engineering suspension components that can handle the real-world abuse that RC enthusiasts throw at their vehicles. The proprietary composite material has been engineered from the ground up with specific attention to load distribution, impact absorption, and material fatigue resistance. The design incorporates the correct amount of flex to prevent catastrophic failure during high-impact events such as hard landings from jumps, whilst remaining stiff enough to maintain suspension geometry and handling characteristics during normal driving. The white colour finish not only provides excellent visual contrast for easier inspection and identification, but also reflects light better during outdoor driving sessions. The material composition ensures that these arms maintain their structural integrity even when exposed to temperature extremes, making them suitable for year-round use in the UK climate. Whether you're replacing worn components on your existing Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck or upgrading your suspension for more aggressive driving, these arms are engineered to deliver consistent performance and durability that justifies their position as genuine OEM Traxxas parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these suspension arms fit my Traxxas Maxx Slash? — Yes, the TRX8929A suspension arms are designed specifically for Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course trucks in all available colours. However, they are not compatible with Maxx models equipped with WideMaxx suspension, so verify your vehicle's suspension type before purchasing.
- What makes these suspension arms better than cheaper alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas OEM parts manufactured using proprietary composite material that Traxxas designed specifically for high loads and hard landings. The material has the right amount of flex to resist breaking even in cold weather, whereas budget alternatives often use brittle plastics that snap under impact. As genuine parts, they'll restore your vehicle to factory specifications and handling characteristics.
- Can I use these arms at the front and rear of my vehicle? — Yes, the TRX8929A arms fit upper left or right and can be used at either the front or rear position, giving you flexibility in how you configure your suspension replacement. This versatility means you only need to stock one part number for multiple suspension locations.
- How do I know if my suspension arms need replacing? — Inspect your suspension arms for visible cracks, splits, permanent bending, or excessive flex that doesn't return to normal position. If your vehicle's handling feels off, the front end dives excessively during braking, or you notice uneven tyre wear patterns, worn suspension arms could be the cause. Suspension arms that have been subjected to hard impacts or multiple jumps should be inspected regularly.
- Are these suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers? — Yes, these are OEM Traxxas replacement parts suitable for any skill level. Beginners will appreciate the durability and factory-correct performance, whilst experienced bashers and competitors will benefit from the extreme durability rating and the confidence that comes from genuine parts that meet factory specifications.
- How many suspension arms do I need to replace my entire suspension? — Your RC short course truck has multiple suspension arm positions (upper left front, upper right front, upper left rear, upper right rear), so depending on which arms need replacement, you may need multiple TRX8929A packs. The TRX8929A pack contains 2 arms, so you'll need 2 packs to replace all four upper arm positions.
