Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Composite Construction — Traxxas designed these suspension arms using a proprietary composite material specifically engineered for high-load applications and hard landings, ensuring they resist breaking even in extreme conditions and cold weather, which is particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts who bash year-round.
- Optimised Flex Engineering — The composite material features just the right amount of flex to absorb impact and resist breaking during jumps and aggressive driving, making these arms ideal for extreme punishment scenarios like skate park sessions and ramp launches.
- Fits Multiple Positions — These suspension arms are designed to fit left or right, and work for both front or rear suspension positions, providing versatility in your setup and making them a practical spare parts choice for WideMaxx owners.
- Complete Pair Included — The package includes both left and right arms, giving you a matched pair for balanced suspension geometry and consistent handling across your RC monster truck.
- Purpose-Engineered for WideMaxx — These arms are specifically designed for use with the WideMaxx suspension kit, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal suspension performance within the WideMaxx system architecture.
- Weather Resistant Design — The proprietary composite material maintains its strength and flexibility even in cold weather conditions, making these arms suitable for year-round RC use across all seasons in the UK.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas WideMaxx lower suspension arms represent cutting-edge suspension component engineering designed for the demands of modern RC monster truck bashers. Constructed from Traxxas's proprietary composite material, these arms combine rigidity where it matters with strategic flex to absorb impact forces and prevent catastrophic failure. The material has been specifically developed through extensive testing to handle high loads typical of aggressive driving, hard landings from jumps, and extreme impacts that occur during RC sport activities. Whether you're launching your monster truck off ramps or driving at speed across rough terrain, the composite construction resists the brittle failure modes that can occur with inferior materials, particularly in cold weather conditions common throughout the UK and Europe. The engineering approach taken by Traxxas ensures that these suspension arms flex slightly under impact to dissipate energy rather than transmitting it directly to the chassis and drivetrain, protecting other components whilst maintaining responsiveness and control. These arms are essential maintenance items for WideMaxx users, and having a spare pair ensures you're prepared for track sessions or serious bashing. Minor modifications may be required when used with 7685 suspension pins, so it's worth checking compatibility with your specific setup before installation. The blue colour finish provides visual appeal whilst the functional design ensures these arms perform as a critical part of your suspension geometry, affecting steering response, stability during cornering, and overall handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these suspension arms compatible with my WideMaxx monster truck? — Yes, these lower suspension arms are specifically designed for use with the Traxxas WideMaxx suspension kit system. They fit left or right, and work for both front or rear positions, making them a perfect match for any WideMaxx equipped RC monster truck available through UK RC retailers.
- What makes Traxxas proprietary composite material better than standard plastic suspension arms? — Traxxas engineered this composite material specifically to handle high loads and hard landings with the right amount of flex to resist breaking, even in cold weather. This means longer lifespan, fewer breakages during aggressive bashing, and more consistent performance compared to standard suspension arms, making it a worthwhile upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK.
- Can I use these arms at the front and rear of my RC monster truck? — Yes, these lower suspension arms are designed to fit both front and rear suspension positions, and both left and right sides, providing maximum flexibility in your setup and making them practical spares to have on hand.
- Do I need to modify anything when installing these arms? — Minor modification may be required when used with 7685 suspension pins, so it's worth checking your specific setup before installation. Standard suspension pins should install without issues.
- Are these suspension arms suitable for beginners? — These suspension arms are replacement and upgrade parts designed for existing WideMaxx users rather than complete beginner kits. If you own a WideMaxx monster truck and want to upgrade your suspension components or replace worn arms, these are excellent quality parts from Traxxas.
- Why would I need replacement suspension arms? — Heavy use, aggressive bashing, hard landings, and normal wear and tear can eventually compromise suspension arms. Having a spare pair ensures you're prepared for maintenance and keeps your RC monster truck running at peak performance during track sessions or weekend bashing.
- How do these compare to the black WideMaxx lower suspension arms? — These blue arms are identical to the black version in terms of material composition, engineering, and performance. The difference is purely cosmetic, allowing you to colour-coordinate your suspension components with your RC monster truck's colour scheme.
