Perfect for those who want to push their RC to the limit, the WideMaxx Suspension Kit represents genuine Traxxas quality with factory-matched components that ensure worry-free installation and long-lasting performance.
Key Features
- Wider Track Width for Superior Stability — The WideMaxx kit widens the truck's stance significantly, adding over 20mm to each side and substantially lowering the centre of gravity. This wider track width dramatically reduces body roll during aggressive cornering and provides increased grip on uneven terrain, meaning you'll experience more confident handling and a more planted, responsive driving experience, especially in high-speed corners and challenging off-road conditions.
- Complete Suspension Upgrade — This comprehensive kit includes extended front and rear suspension arms, extended one-piece front toe links, and outer half shafts for a full-width conversion. Rather than being a partial upgrade, you get everything needed to properly widen your Mini Maxx's stance, ensuring balanced handling and optimal performance across the entire suspension system.
- Toughest Composite Construction — Moulded from Traxxas's toughest composite material, the suspension components are engineered to withstand the abuse of high-speed impacts, aggressive driving, and off-road adventures. This heavy-duty construction delivers enhanced durability and prevents flex and breakage during hard landings, meaning your investment will last through countless bashing sessions and competitive runs.
- Perfect Fit and Finish — As genuine Traxxas components, the WideMaxx kit delivers factory-matched parts that integrate seamlessly with existing Traxxas components on your Mini Maxx. You can rely on direct-fit compatibility and the precision engineering that only official Traxxas parts provide, ensuring installation is straightforward and performance is exactly as intended.
- Striking Black HD Finish — The all-black finish provides a sleek, professional appearance whilst resisting wear and matching other Traxxas coloured accessories perfectly. Beyond aesthetics, this premium finish protects the components and contributes to the overall durability of the kit, giving your Mini Maxx a custom, high-performance look.
- Enhanced Cornering and Handling Control — By increasing the overall track width, the WideMaxx kit significantly improves your Mini Maxx's cornering control and reduces chassis roll in aggressive driving conditions. This means tighter turns, better line holding, and more predictable handling whether you're racing competitively or enjoying weekend bashing sessions.
- Compatible with Stock Components — The suspension kit is designed to work seamlessly with stock shocks and linkages, meaning you don't need to purchase additional components to benefit from this upgrade. All necessary mounting hardware is included, so you can get back on the track quickly without worrying about missing parts or complicated compatibility issues.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Black HD WideMaxx Suspension Kit represents a significant engineering upgrade that dramatically changes how your Mini Maxx performs. The kit extends the width of your Mini Maxx by over 20mm on each side, fundamentally lowering the centre of gravity and increasing overall grip. This geometric transformation creates a noticeably more planted and responsive driving experience, particularly valuable when you're pushing your RC to high speeds on technical terrain or executing aggressive cornering manoeuvres. The suspension arms and half shafts are engineered from Traxxas's premium composite material, which combines lightweight construction with exceptional durability—critical for handling the repeated impacts and stresses of off-road driving and high-speed bashing. The extended one-piece front toe links ensure proper wheel alignment and suspension geometry throughout the full range of motion, while the outer half shafts are specifically engineered to handle the increased track width without compromising drivability. Installation is straightforward thanks to the direct-fit design that integrates with existing Traxxas components, and all hardware is included so no additional purchases are necessary. Whether you're upgrading from the standard Mini Maxx suspension or building your first WideMaxx setup, this kit delivers professional-grade performance improvements that will be immediately noticeable in handling, stability, and overall driving confidence.
