Overview
The Traxxas Suspension arms, lower, Red (left and right, front or rear) (2 pcs) TRX10230-RED are an essential replacement or upgrade component for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and durability from their RC vehicles. Whether you're bashing your RC car UK at the local skate park, launching off ramps, or pushing your short course truck to its limits, these heavy-duty suspension arms are engineered to withstand extreme punishment and keep you racing longer. Available in vibrant red, these arms not only deliver outstanding performance but also allow you to create a custom look that matches your driving style and personality.
Designed specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck, these lower suspension arms represent the pinnacle of suspension durability in the ready to run RC car market. The Maxx Slash is a formidable short course truck that demands equally impressive component quality, and these arms deliver exactly that. If you're upgrading from standard components or replacing worn parts, choosing genuine Traxxas suspension arms ensures you're getting OEM quality that's been rigorously tested and proven in competitive racing and recreational bashing scenarios across the UK and beyond.
RC Model Shop stocks these premium suspension components because we understand that serious RC enthusiasts need parts they can trust. When you're investing in a brushless RC short course truck, you need suspension arms that won't let you down mid-session, and these heavy-duty arms are precisely engineered to meet that demand.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Composite Material — These suspension arms are formed from Traxxas's toughest composite material specifically engineered for extreme durability, which means they can handle high loads and hard landings without compromising performance, making them ideal for both competitive racing and aggressive recreational bashing.
- X-Series Suspension Technology — Traxxas utilises their latest proprietary composite material in these arms, which provides the perfect balance of strength and flex, allowing the arms to resist breaking even when exposed to cold weather conditions and extreme punishment.
- Optimised Material Composition — The composite is specifically designed with just the right amount of flex to prevent brittle failure, ensuring that your RC car remains competitive and reliable whether you're sending it at the skate park or launching off a ramp.
- Left and Right Pair — Each package includes both left and right suspension arms, giving you everything needed to perform a complete lower suspension refresh on either the front or rear of your Maxx Slash.
- Front or Rear Compatibility — These suspension arms are designed to fit both the front and rear of your RC truck, providing flexibility in your upgrade and maintenance strategy.
- Custom Colour Option — The bright red finish is not just about aesthetics; it's a way to create a truly custom look for your RC car and express your individual style whilst maintaining genuine OEM quality.
- Proven Performance Track Record — These arms are designed for the demands of modern RC short course racing and bashing, utilising proven engineering that's been tested in real-world conditions by competitive RC drivers.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX10230-RED lower suspension arms are engineered with precision and built to exacting standards that reflect Traxxas's reputation for quality in the RC industry. Formed from heavy-duty composite material, these arms represent a significant upgrade over standard plastic components and offer substantially better durability for sustained high-performance driving. The material composition has been specifically formulated by Traxxas engineers to handle the extreme stresses placed on suspension components during aggressive bashing sessions and competitive short course racing. The proprietary composite provides the optimal balance between rigidity and controlled flex, which is essential for maintaining consistent suspension geometry during hard landings and high-speed cornering. Unlike brittle materials that can snap under load, these arms are engineered to flex slightly under extreme stress, then return to their original shape, which dramatically extends their service life. The engineering specifically accounts for the demands of operating in UK weather conditions, including cold temperatures where lesser-quality plastic can become brittle. These suspension arms are designed to work with the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck platform, a vehicle that demands nothing less than premium component quality. Minor modification may be required when used with 7685 suspension pins, so check compatibility if you're using alternative pin components. The arms maintain their performance characteristics across repeated impact cycles and high-load situations, making them an excellent investment for anyone serious about RC performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these suspension arms suitable for beginners to RC hobbies? — These suspension arms are replacement and upgrade components rather than a complete ready to run RC car, so they're best suited to RC enthusiasts who already have a Maxx Slash and understand how to perform basic maintenance and repairs. If you're new to RC, we'd recommend starting with a complete ready to run RC car package and then upgrading components like these as you develop your skills and understanding.
- What makes these arms better than standard plastic suspension components? — Traxxas's proprietary heavy-duty composite material provides significantly superior durability compared to standard plastic arms. The material is specifically engineered to handle high loads and hard landings whilst maintaining just enough flex to prevent brittle failure, which is especially important in UK weather conditions where temperature fluctuations can affect component performance.
- Will these arms fit both front and rear of my Maxx Slash? — Yes, these suspension arms are designed to fit both front and rear positions on your Maxx Slash, giving you flexibility in how you upgrade and maintain your vehicle.
- Do I need both left and right arms? — This package includes both left and right arms, so you have a complete pair. If you're replacing both front or both rear suspension arms, you'll need one package. If you're upgrading all four suspension arm positions, you'll need two packages.
- Will I need to modify anything to fit these arms? — Minor modification may be required when used with 7685 suspension pins, so if you're using alternative suspension pin components, you should check compatibility. For standard Maxx Slash setups, installation should be straightforward.
- Why should I upgrade my suspension arms? — Over time, suspension arms can crack, break, or wear out, especially if you're an aggressive basher who regularly launches your RC car off ramps or drives at skate parks. Upgrading to these heavy-duty Traxxas arms ensures your suspension remains reliable and performs consistently, which translates to better handling and a more enjoyable RC experience.
