Overview
The Traxxas Suspension arms, upper, Green (left or right, Front or Rear) (2 pcs) TRX8929G are heavy-duty replacement upper suspension arms engineered for maximum durability and performance on the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 scale short course truck. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your suspension for extreme bashing or a competitor seeking reliable replacement parts, these green anodised arms deliver the quality and strength that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the UK RC community. These suspension arms are constructed using Traxxas' latest proprietary composite material, specifically formulated to handle the punishing impacts and high loads generated by high-speed driving, whether you're attacking the skate park, launching off ramps, or pushing your RC short course truck to its limits on rough terrain.
Designed as a direct replacement for the factory upper arms on compatible Traxxas Maxx Slash models, these green suspension arms allow you to refresh your truck's suspension with matching colour coordination if you're running a green-themed build or customisation project. The vibrant green anodised finish matches perfectly with other green Traxxas accessories, including green hub carriers, axle nuts, and shock bodies, making it simple to create a coordinated, professional-looking RC vehicle. For those building or maintaining a Traxxas short course truck in the UK, having quality suspension spare parts on hand ensures you can get back on the track or field quickly after any damage, without compromising on performance or reliability.
These are not standard plastic arms – they represent Traxxas' commitment to engineering suspension components that can withstand extreme punishment even in cold weather conditions common throughout the UK. The proprietary composite material strikes the perfect balance between rigidity and flex, ensuring the arms absorb impacts without cracking or breaking, even during aggressive driving or hard landings that would destroy lesser components.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Proprietary Composite Material — Traxxas designed this exclusive composite specifically for high loads and hard landings with just the right amount of flex to resist breaking, even in cold weather conditions, making them significantly more durable than standard plastic arms found on entry-level RC trucks.
- Extreme Durability and Impact Resistance — Whether you're sending it at the skate park, launching off a ramp, or bashing over rough terrain, these arms are built for extreme punishment and will maintain their integrity through countless hard impacts that would damage factory-spec components.
- Universal Fitment Flexibility — These upper arms fit left, right, front, and rear positions on compatible Traxxas Maxx Slash models, giving you maximum flexibility in how you use them as replacements or upgrades without needing to purchase multiple different part numbers.
- Vibrant Green Anodised Finish — The striking green colour allows you to create a coordinated custom build that matches other green Traxxas accessories, or simply refresh your truck with eye-catching replacement parts that look brand new.
- Quick and Easy Installation — Suspension arm replacement on the Traxxas Maxx Slash is straightforward and requires minimal tools and mechanical knowledge, making this an ideal upgrade project for RC enthusiasts at any skill level.
- Perfect for Customisation Projects — These arms are essential components in military-themed builds, colour-coordinated custom designs, or any project where you want to upgrade the appearance and durability of your suspension simultaneously.
- Pack of Two — You receive two suspension arms per order, allowing you to upgrade both sides of your suspension or keep spares for future projects and repairs.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Maxx Slash upper suspension arms represent the pinnacle of composite suspension design for 1/8 scale short course trucks. Constructed from Traxxas' proprietary composite material, these arms are engineered to handle the extreme forces generated by brushless motors pushing 6S LiPo batteries, enabling these trucks to exceed 50 mph on open ground. The material composition has been specifically refined to maintain structural integrity even in cold weather conditions, where standard plastics become brittle and prone to failure. The composite provides sufficient flex to absorb impacts without transferring all the shock directly to the chassis, pivot pins, and bearings, thereby extending the service life of all suspension components. The engineering philosophy behind these arms prioritises durability without sacrificing responsiveness – the suspension geometry remains consistent even under the extreme loads generated by hard landings and cornering at high speed. Unlike lesser-quality replacement arms that may warp or crack under stress, the proprietary composite used here maintains its dimensional accuracy, ensuring your truck handles consistently throughout extended bashing sessions. The hingepin bosses are reinforced to prevent spinning or loosening, and the threaded holes are precision-drilled to exacting standards that ensure perfect fitment with Traxxas' matched suspension hardware. Installation is straightforward, with the captured hingepins and shock retaining pins held securely by button-head screws that transfer directly from your existing arms to the new ones, meaning you can complete an upgrade in approximately ten minutes with basic RC tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas models are these upper suspension arms compatible with? — These upper suspension arms (TRX8929G) are designed specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD short course truck, available in Rock N Roll, Blue, Red, and Green variants. They fit as upper left, upper right, front, or rear arms, providing complete flexibility in suspension configuration. Do not fit Maxx models with WideMaxx suspension.
- What makes these heavy-duty arms better than factory suspension parts? — The factory upper and lower arms on the Traxxas Maxx Slash are already among the toughest in the Traxxas lineup, but these heavy-duty arms take durability to the next level. They are constructed from a proprietary composite material specifically engineered for extreme loads and cold weather resistance, making them the best arms you can put on the big rig. This material is more impact-resistant than standard plastic and maintains its performance even in freezing temperatures common throughout the UK winter months.
- Can I use these arms on the front and rear of my truck? — Yes, these upper arms are specifically designed to fit left, right, front, and rear positions on your Traxxas Maxx Slash, giving you complete flexibility. Unlike lower arms which are side-specific, the upper arms provide universal fitment, meaning you only need one part number to cover all four suspension positions.
- How long does it take to install these suspension arms? — Installation is extremely straightforward and requires no special tools beyond basic hex drivers and RC spanners. Experienced builders can complete a full suspension arm swap (both upper and lower arms plus toe links) in approximately ten minutes working at a leisurely pace. The hingepin and shock retaining pin simply transfer from your existing arms using the existing button-head screws, making this one of the easiest suspension upgrades available for any 1/8 scale RC truck.
- Will these green arms match my other Traxxas accessories? — The TRX8929G green suspension arms feature a vibrant anodised green finish that perfectly matches other green Traxxas components including green-anodised aluminium hub carriers, axle nuts, and GTX shock bodies, making them ideal for creating a coordinated military-themed or colour-matched custom build.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these suspension arms are suitable for all skill levels. Installation requires only basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC tools. If you can operate a hex driver and a small spanner, you can install these arms yourself. Many UK RC retailers stock these arms specifically because they represent an affordable, accessible way for new builders to upgrade suspension durability without specialist equipment.
- What is the difference between these standard heavy-duty arms and other suspension upgrades? — Traxxas Heavy-Duty arms are made from a proprietary composite material that strikes the perfect balance between strength and flex, remaining resilient even in cold weather. They're available in multiple colours (orange, blue, white, red, black, and this green) allowing you to customise your truck's appearance simultaneously with improving durability. They're also available across a wider range of Traxxas models including Rustler, Stampede, Slash, Maxx, and Revo platforms in both 2WD and 4WD configurations.
