Traxxas WideMaxx Upper Suspension Arms Green 2 Pack TRX8998G

Overview

The Traxxas Suspension arms, upper, Green (left or right, Front or Rear) (2 pcs) are premium replacement suspension components designed specifically for the WideMaxx suspension kit and compatible WideMaxx monster trucks. These heavy-duty upper suspension arms represent Traxxas's latest engineering in RC car UK components, built to withstand the extreme demands of high-performance RC bashing. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your WideMaxx monster truck or a dedicated basher who pushes their machine to the limit, these upper suspension arms offer the durability and performance you need to keep your RC vehicle performing at its best.

Traxxas has engineered these upper suspension arms using a proprietary composite material that has been specifically developed for extreme durability under high loads and hard landings. The composite delivers just the right amount of flex to resist breaking, even in cold weather conditions, making these arms suitable for year-round RC driving across the UK. Unlike standard plastic arms that can become brittle in winter temperatures, these WideMaxx upper arms maintain their integrity whether you're launching off ramps at the skate park or bashing through rough terrain. The green anodised finish not only looks striking on your WideMaxx monster truck but also coordinates perfectly with other green components available in the Traxxas accessory range.

These suspension arms are universally designed to fit left or right, and front or rear positions on your WideMaxx setup, offering maximum flexibility for your build. They must be used with the full WideMaxx suspension kit (part number 8995) to function correctly, making them an essential upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their WideMaxx monster truck's performance and longevity.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas WideMaxx upper suspension arms represent the pinnacle of suspension arm engineering for modern RC monster trucks. Constructed from a proprietary composite material that Traxxas has engineered specifically for high-load applications, these arms deliver exceptional durability without sacrificing the flex characteristics needed for impact absorption. The composite formulation ensures that even when subjected to the extreme stresses of launching off ramps, hard landings, and aggressive bashing, the arms will maintain their structural integrity rather than cracking under pressure like standard plastic components. The engineering team at Traxxas has carefully balanced the material's rigidity and flexibility to resist breaking whilst still allowing the suspension to work effectively, absorbing energy from impacts and maintaining traction over rough terrain. These arms are validated to perform consistently in cold weather conditions, making them a reliable choice for year-round RC driving. The universal fitment design means these arms work as left or right, front or rear components, offering maximum value and flexibility for your WideMaxx setup. Installation is straightforward, with the hingepins and shock retaining pins transferred directly from your existing arms, making the upgrade process quick and simple for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
