Key Features
- Wider Track Width for Superior Stability — The WideMaxx kit extends the width of your Mini Maxx, significantly lowering the centre of gravity and increasing grip across both the front and rear of the vehicle. This wider stance reduces body roll during aggressive cornering, giving you more confidence when navigating rough terrain and tight turns, whether you're bashing on loose ground or carving through technical sections at speed.
- Complete Front and Rear Suspension Upgrade — This comprehensive kit includes extended front and rear suspension arms plus front toe links and outer half shafts, delivering a full-width conversion that transforms your vehicle's handling characteristics. Every component works together to deliver improved cornering control and off-road handling that makes a noticeable difference in real-world driving.
- Reinforced HD Composite Construction — Moulded from Traxxas's toughest composite material, these suspension components are built to withstand the abuse of off-road adventures and high-speed impacts. The heavy-duty design resists flex and breakage, ensuring your upgraded suspension performs reliably through countless bashing sessions and competitive driving events.
- Extended Front Toe Links for Precise Control — The one-piece extended front toe links included in this kit provide enhanced precision in your vehicle's steering geometry, contributing to more responsive handling and better feedback through your radio transmitter during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
- Extended Outer Half Shafts for Increased Width — These wider axle half shafts are specifically engineered to match the new suspension arm geometry, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal drivetrain performance with the widened track width configuration.
- Factory-Matched Genuine Traxxas Quality — Every component in this kit is designed and manufactured by Traxxas to deliver perfect fit and finish with your Mini Maxx. You get the assurance of genuine Traxxas performance accessories, not third-party alternatives, meaning compatibility is guaranteed and reliability is assured.
- Striking Red Colour with Custom Appeal — Available in a vibrant red finish, this suspension kit adds a distinctive custom look to your RC car whilst maintaining visual consistency with other Traxxas colour-matched accessories. The high-impact colour is as tough as the composite material underneath.
- Direct Replacement Design with Simple Installation — The WideMaxx kit features a direct-fit design that integrates seamlessly with existing Traxxas components and stock shocks and linkages. All necessary mounting hardware is included, and installation requires only standard RC tools, making this upgrade accessible to enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- Improved Planted and Responsive Driving Experience — By widening your track and lowering your centre of gravity, this suspension kit delivers a more planted and responsive driving experience, especially in high-speed corners and on uneven terrain. You'll notice immediately how much more confidence and control you have.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas WideMaxx Suspension Kit represents cutting-edge engineering for the Mini Maxx platform. Built from premium composite materials engineered for durability and performance, the suspension arms, toe links, and half shafts work together as an integrated system to increase your vehicle's overall track width whilst maintaining perfect geometric alignment. This comprehensive upgrade improves both on-road handling and off-road performance by reducing chassis roll, increasing grip, and providing a more stable platform for high-speed driving. The extended suspension arms and half shafts deliver a significant width increase that proves especially valuable when cornering aggressively or driving on uneven terrain. By extending the wheelbase contact patch, you gain additional traction and stability without compromising the vehicle's manoeuvrability. The reinforced composite construction resists the flex that can occur in standard suspension arms during hard impacts and aggressive driving, maintaining consistent geometry and handling characteristics through demanding driving sessions. This is professional-grade engineering designed by Traxxas for serious RC enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on performance or durability. The kit's compatibility with existing Mini Maxx components, including stock shocks and linkages, makes it a seamless upgrade that doesn't require replacing your entire suspension system.
