Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These retainers are milled from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which is recognised worldwide as the industry standard for precision RC components. This material offers an excellent balance of strength, weight, and machinability, ensuring your suspension pin retainers will withstand the demands of competitive racing and casual bashing alike without bending or breaking.
- Brilliant Anodised Finish — The retainers feature a brilliant green anodised finish that not only looks stunning but also provides corrosion resistance and durability. The anodising process creates a hard protective layer that prevents the aluminium from oxidising, meaning your retainers will maintain their vibrant colour even after extended use in all weather conditions.
- Precision Machined — Each retainer is carefully machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fit and finish every time. This precision engineering means the retainers will slot seamlessly into your suspension system without gaps, misalignment, or fitment issues that could compromise your vehicle's performance.
- Genuine Traxxas Factory Quality — As an official Traxxas accessory, these retainers are made by Traxxas for Traxxas vehicles, guaranteeing perfect factory fit and finish. Traxxas reputation for quality means you can trust these parts to maintain the same performance standards as the components that came with your vehicle from the factory.
- Front or Rear Compatibility — Whether you need to upgrade the front suspension, rear suspension, or both, this versatile set of four retainers works on either end of your vehicle. This flexibility makes it easy to achieve a completely colour-coordinated suspension system across your entire RC truck.
- Wide Model Compatibility — These retainers are designed to fit multiple Traxxas X-Truck platforms including the Maxx, Maxx Slash, X-Maxx, Ultimate X-Maxx, XRT, and Ultimate XRT models. This broad compatibility means whether you own one Traxxas truck or several different models, a single set of these retainers can work across your collection.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Suspension Pin Retainer represents the pinnacle of precision engineering for RC truck customisation. Manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these components undergo a rigorous machining process to achieve perfect dimensional accuracy. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is specifically chosen for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for suspension components that must withstand repeated stress cycles during aggressive driving. The anodising process used to create the brilliant green finish involves immersing the machined aluminium in an electrolytic bath, creating a crystalline oxide layer that measures between 10-25 microns thick. This protective layer not only gives the retainers their striking appearance but also provides significant corrosion resistance, ensuring they will not rust or degrade when exposed to moisture, salt spray, or harsh environmental conditions commonly encountered during RC driving in the UK. The precision machining tolerances ensure that each retainer fits perfectly within the suspension geometry of compatible vehicles, maintaining the critical angles and clearances necessary for optimal suspension performance. Whether you're competing in competitive racing where suspension geometry is crucial, or simply enjoying casual weekend bashing, these retainers maintain the factory specifications that engineers designed into your vehicle. The set includes four individual retainers, allowing you to outfit both front and rear suspension points or maintain spares for replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these suspension pin retainers compatible with my Traxxas RC truck? — The Traxxas Suspension Pin Retainers in green anodised aluminium are compatible with a wide range of Traxxas X-Truck platforms including Maxx, Maxx Slash, X-Maxx, Ultimate X-Maxx, XRT, and Ultimate XRT models. Specific compatible models include the Maxx Slash (all colour variants including Red, Green, Rock N Roll, and Blue), Funco Motorsports Pro Scale models, WideMaxx Monster Truck, X-Maxx Belted RTR and Ultimate variants, and the XRT VXL-8S and XRT Ultimate variants. We recommend checking your specific vehicle model against the compatibility list before ordering to ensure perfect fit.
- Why choose genuine Traxxas suspension parts over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas accessories are designed and manufactured by Traxxas specifically for Traxxas vehicles, ensuring perfect factory fit and finish every time. Aftermarket parts, whilst sometimes cheaper, may have dimensional inconsistencies that affect suspension geometry, alignment, and overall vehicle performance. By choosing genuine Traxxas parts, you maintain the engineering integrity that Traxxas designers built into your vehicle, ensuring it performs exactly as intended. Additionally, genuine parts come with the assurance of quality and durability that protects your investment in your RC truck.
- Do I need to install these suspension pin retainers myself, or do they come pre-installed? — These retainers are replacement or upgrade parts that require installation. If your vehicle already has suspension pin retainers, you can simply swap them out for these green anodised ones as a visual upgrade. The installation process is straightforward and does not require any special tools or technical knowledge beyond basic RC maintenance skills. Consult your vehicle's manual for detailed installation instructions.
- Will the green anodised finish fade or discolour over time? — The anodised finish on these retainers is extremely durable and resistant to fading. The anodising process creates a hard crystalline oxide layer that bonds permanently to the aluminium substrate. Unlike painted finishes which can chip or peel, anodised finishes resist corrosion, UV fading, and general wear far more effectively. Your green anodised suspension pin retainers will maintain their brilliant colour for years of RC driving in various conditions.
- Can I use these retainers on both front and rear suspension? — Yes, these suspension pin retainers are suitable for both front and rear suspension installation. With four retainers included in the set, you can outfit both suspension ends or maintain spare parts. This universal compatibility makes them ideal for creating a completely coordinated green anodised suspension system throughout your entire vehicle.
- What makes 6061-T6 aluminium the best choice for suspension components? — 6061-T6 aluminium is the industry standard for precision RC components because it offers exceptional strength without excess weight, excellent machinability for precision manufacturing, and outstanding corrosion resistance. The T6 heat treatment specifically hardens the aluminium to its optimal strength level whilst maintaining flexibility to absorb impacts without cracking. This material science makes 6061-T6 the perfect choice for suspension parts that must endure repeated stress from aggressive driving whilst maintaining dimensional stability.
