Key Features
- Wider Track Width for Enhanced Stability — The WideMaxx kit significantly increases your Mini Maxx's overall track width, which widens the truck's stance and lowers the centre of gravity for dramatically improved cornering stability and reduced body roll. This wider footprint gives you more confidence during rough terrain driving and tight turns, making the vehicle feel planted and controllable even during aggressive manoeuvres.
- Complete Suspension Upgrade Package — This kit includes extended front and rear suspension arms, wider axle half shafts, and extended one-piece front toe links, providing a full-width conversion that transforms your Mini Maxx's handling characteristics. Every component works together to deliver a cohesive upgrade rather than piecemeal modifications.
- Heavy-Duty Composite Construction — Moulded from Traxxas's toughest composite material, all suspension arms and components are engineered to withstand the harshest RC conditions including impacts, rough landings, and sustained high-speed driving. The high-strength material handles abuse from hardcore bashing sessions with ease, making this upgrade ideal for users who push their vehicles to the limit.
- Extends Outer Half Shafts for True WideMaxx Geometry — Unlike basic suspension kits, this package includes extended outer half shafts that are specially designed to accommodate the wider stance, ensuring proper geometry, suspension travel, and drivetrain alignment. This prevents binding or premature wear compared to using standard shafts with wider arms.
- Extended One-Piece Front Toe Links — The kit features extended front toe links that maintain correct suspension geometry and tracking across the wider stance. These one-piece designs are more durable than multi-piece alternatives and reduce potential failure points during aggressive driving.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality and Fit — Each component is factory-matched for perfect fit and finish, ensuring seamless installation without modification or troubleshooting. As genuine Traxxas parts, you can trust compatibility, durability and performance out of the box.
- Striking Orange Colour with HD Build Quality — The vibrant orange finish adds custom visual appeal whilst the HD designation indicates these are heavy-duty, reinforced components. The colour is specifically matched to other Traxxas orange accessories, allowing you to build a cohesive, customised appearance across your entire vehicle.
- Reduces Body Roll and Improves Jump Landing Control — By widening the track, this kit substantially reduces rollovers during jumps and high-speed turns. The lower centre of gravity and broader stance mean your Mini Maxx stays flatter through corners and lands more level after jumps, improving safety and consistency.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Orange HD WideMaxx Suspension Kit represents a sophisticated approach to improving RC vehicle handling through geometry modification rather than simply adding power. The wider track width increases stability without requiring additional weight, motor upgrades, or battery changes, making it one of the most efficient performance modifications available. Built entirely from heavy-duty composite plastics, the suspension arms, half shafts and toe links are engineered to handle the sustained stresses of off-road driving, high-speed cornering and aggressive bashing. The extended outer half shafts are particularly important to the WideMaxx system — standard shafts cannot safely handle the increased track width without risking suspension binding or drivetrain failure. The extended one-piece front toe links maintain critical suspension angles and tracking precision across the wider stance, preventing the geometry issues that compromise handling in poorly designed widening kits. This comprehensive engineering approach ensures that every component works in harmony to deliver the promised stability improvements. Whether you're running on a track, bashing through rough terrain, or competing in organised RC racing, the WideMaxx geometry provides measurable improvements in vehicle control, confidence and safety margins. The composite material construction keeps weight minimal whilst maintaining the durability needed for serious RC use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the WideMaxx Suspension Kit fit my Mini Maxx? — Yes, this kit is specifically designed for the Traxxas Mini Maxx and is compatible with all Mini Maxx BL-2S variants including blue, green, black and orange models. It's engineered for direct fit installation with perfect factory-matched components, so you won't need any modifications or adapters.
- What exactly is a WideMaxx kit and why would I want it? — WideMaxx is Traxxas's naming for suspension kits that increase track width, widening the vehicle's overall stance. A wider stance lowers the centre of gravity, reduces body roll during cornering, decreases the chance of rollovers during jumps, and dramatically improves stability on rough terrain and at high speeds. If you bash aggressively or want more planted handling, WideMaxx is a significant upgrade.
- How much wider does this make my Mini Maxx? — The WideMaxx kit increases track width by approximately 20mm per side, creating a substantially wider and more stable platform without adding significant weight or requiring any other modifications to your vehicle.
- Is installation difficult or do I need specialist tools? — Installation is straightforward for users of all skill levels from beginner to advanced. The kit includes all necessary components and is designed for perfect fit on the Mini Maxx platform. Standard RC tools are sufficient, and most users can complete installation in under an hour following basic instructions.
- Will I need to buy anything else to complete this upgrade? — No, the WideMaxx kit is completely self-contained and includes all suspension arms, toe links and extended half shafts needed for the full conversion. You won't need additional parts, batteries, electronics or tools beyond what you already have for basic RC maintenance.
- Is this suspension kit suitable for beginners? — Yes absolutely. The installation is accessible to users of all experience levels, and the upgrade requires no special knowledge or tools. Beginners benefit just as much as experienced drivers from the improved stability and handling that WideMaxx provides, making it an excellent upgrade for anyone looking to get more performance from their Mini Maxx.
- What material are the suspension arms made from? — All suspension components are moulded from Traxxas's toughest composite material, which offers excellent durability, impact resistance and longevity. This composite construction balances weight savings with the strength needed for serious bashing and racing.
- Can I use this kit with standard width suspension arms? — No, the WideMaxx system is specifically engineered as a complete package. The extended outer half shafts are essential to accommodate the wider stance and maintain proper suspension geometry. Using mismatched components could compromise handling and cause reliability issues.
- What colour options are available for WideMaxx kits? — Traxxas offers WideMaxx kits in multiple high-impact colours. This particular kit is available in striking orange, which coordinates beautifully with other Traxxas orange accessories for a custom, cohesive appearance.
- Does this kit improve speed or acceleration? — WideMaxx primarily improves handling stability and cornering control rather than top speed or acceleration. By providing a wider, more stable platform, it allows you to maintain better control during high-speed driving and take corners faster with confidence, effectively improving your overall performance through better handling rather than more power.
