Key Features

• High-grade 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These suspension pin retainers are milled from tough, lightweight 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, ensuring your retainers will perform reliably whether you're bashing in wet UK weather or running on dry tracks.
• Brilliant Anodised Red Finish — The retainers feature a vibrant eye-catching red anodised finish that not only looks fantastic on your RC truck but also provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, wear, and fading even under intense use and UV exposure.
• Precision Machining — Each retainer is carefully machined to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect fit and finish with your Traxxas suspension components and delivering the kind of precision that serious RC enthusiasts expect from genuine factory parts.
• Factory Fit and Finish — As genuine Traxxas accessories made by Traxxas for Traxxas, these retainers are guaranteed to fit perfectly every time, eliminating the need for modification or adjustment and ensuring seamless integration with your suspension system.
• Fits Front or Rear Suspension — These universal retainers can be installed on either the front or rear suspension of compatible Traxxas models, offering flexibility in how you customise and personalise your vehicle's appearance.
• Four-Piece Set — Each purchase includes four suspension pin retainers, giving you a complete set for customising your RC truck with coordinated styling across multiple suspension mounting points.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas Suspension Pin Retainers represent the pinnacle of RC accessory engineering, crafted from premium 6061-T6 aluminium that offers the perfect balance of lightweight construction and rigid durability. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is a titanium-enhanced variant that provides superior strength characteristics compared to standard 6061 aluminium, making it an ideal material for precision-engineered RC components that must withstand the stresses of high-performance off-road driving, bashfield abuse, and consistent track use. The anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, making these retainers resistant to corrosion, scratches, and UV fading. Each retainer is individually precision-machined to exacting specifications, ensuring dimensional accuracy and perfect fit with your Traxxas suspension system. The red anodised finish is not merely cosmetic—it provides genuine functional benefits by sealing the aluminium against oxidation and environmental degradation. Whether you're running a Traxxas Maxx, Maxx Slash, X-Maxx, XRT, WideMaxx, or compatible model, these retainers deliver factory-engineered performance and are compatible with 1/8 scale and larger Traxxas suspension systems. The lightweight nature of aluminium means these retainers won't add significant weight to your vehicle whilst the rigid material ensures zero deflection under suspension loads, maintaining consistent geometry and suspension performance whether you're racing, bashing, or trail driving your RC truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas models are these suspension pin retainers compatible with? — These retainers fit a wide range of Traxxas models including the Maxx, Maxx Slash, X-Maxx, X-Maxx Ultimate, XRT, XRT Ultimate, WideMaxx, and X-Monster chassis platforms. They are specifically designed as suspension components and fit front or rear, making them versatile across multiple vehicle types from 1/8 scale short-course trucks to larger monster trucks and sand cars.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine Traxxas factory parts manufactured by Traxxas themselves, ensuring perfect factory fit and finish every time. Unlike some aftermarket suspension pin retainers available in the UK RC market, these are engineered and built by the same company that manufactures your vehicle, guaranteeing full compatibility and quality standards.
• What is 6061-T6 aluminium and why is it used for RC parts? — 6061-T6 is a premium aluminium alloy that has been heat-treated to the T6 condition, which provides superior strength and rigidity compared to untreated or lower-grade aluminium. The T6 treatment involves solution heat treatment and artificial ageing, resulting in excellent mechanical properties including high strength, good corrosion resistance, and ideal machinability for precision parts. For RC applications, 6061-T6 is preferred because it offers the lightweight properties of aluminium whilst delivering the strength needed to withstand suspension loads and impacts during aggressive driving.
• What does anodised finish mean, and how does it benefit the retainers? — Anodising is an electrochemical process that converts the surface of the aluminium into a protective oxide layer, which is much harder and more corrosion-resistant than the raw metal. The anodised finish provides several benefits: it protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation and corrosion, resists scratches and wear from handling and use, protects against UV fading and weathering (important for UK weather conditions), and creates a vibrant, long-lasting colour finish that won't chip or peel like paint.
• Can these retainers be used on the front and rear of my RC truck? — Yes, these suspension pin retainers are designed to fit both front and rear suspension systems on compatible Traxxas models, offering flexibility in how you customise your vehicle's appearance and allowing you to create a cohesive colour-matched look across your entire suspension system.
• How do suspension pin retainers improve my RC truck's performance? — Whilst suspension pin retainers are primarily functional components that hold suspension pins in place and prevent them from falling out during operation, upgrading to quality Traxxas aluminium retainers ensures reliable suspension function by maintaining precise geometry and preventing the shifting or movement of suspension components that could affect handling and performance, particularly during aggressive high-speed driving.
• Will these red retainers fit my specific Traxxas model? — These retainers are compatible with Traxxas Maxx, Maxx Slash, X-Maxx, X-Maxx Ultimate, XRT, XRT Ultimate, WideMaxx, and other compatible models. If you're unsure whether they fit your specific vehicle, we recommend consulting your Traxxas manual or contacting RC Model Shop's expert team who can confirm compatibility with your model before purchase.
• Are these retainers waterproof or sealed? — As suspension pin retainers, these components are passive fastening pieces that don't contain electronics or seals. However, the anodised aluminium finish provides excellent weather resistance and corrosion protection, making them suitable for use in wet UK conditions without degradation, though like all RC parts they benefit from cleaning and drying after wet weather use.
• How many retainers do I need for my RC truck? — This pack includes four suspension pin retainers. Most RC trucks require one retainer per suspension pin mounting point, so a four-piece set provides complete coverage for a typical suspension system with front and rear mounts. If you have a larger vehicle or want to fully customise every suspension point with colour-matched components, you may want to purchase multiple sets.
