Overview
The Traxxas Suspension arms, upper, Green (left or right, front or rear) (2 pcs) (TRX7892G) are heavy-duty replacement suspension components designed specifically for the Traxxas X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit. These upper suspension arms represent the pinnacle of Traxxas engineering, utilising a proprietary composite material that delivers extreme durability and performance. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your X-Maxx monster truck, a weekend basher pushing your machine to its limits, or someone exploring the world of high-performance RC cars in the UK, these suspension arms are engineered to handle the most demanding conditions. The X-Maxx is Traxxas' biggest-ever monster truck, measuring over 30 inches in length and capable of speeds exceeding 50 mph, making it one of the most impressive ready to run RC vehicles available in the market today.
These upper suspension arms are built to withstand the punishment that comes with launching off ramps, hitting skate park obstacles, and bashing through challenging terrain. The composite material used in these arms was specifically engineered by Traxxas for high loads and hard landings, delivering just the right amount of flex to resist breaking—even in cold weather conditions. Available in striking green anodised finish to complement your X-Maxx's colour scheme, these arms are not just functional upgrades; they're aesthetic enhancements that make your RC monster truck stand out from the crowd. The fact that each pack contains two upper arms means you have flexibility in how you configure your suspension, whether you need to upgrade the front, rear, or both sides of your machine.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas parts and accessories for RC cars and trucks throughout the UK. These suspension arms are ideal for anyone serious about maintaining peak performance from their X-Maxx, ensuring your investment continues to deliver the thrilling driving experience Traxxas is renowned for. The upgrade path from standard arms to these heavy-duty WideMaxx components is straightforward, making it accessible even for those relatively new to RC customisation and modification.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty proprietary composite construction — Traxxas engineered this composite material specifically to handle the extreme loads and hard landings that come with high-performance RC driving, ensuring your suspension arms won't snap under pressure even during aggressive use or in cold weather conditions.
- Universal fitment compatibility — These upper arms fit both left and right positions, and can be used at the front or rear of the X-Maxx, giving you complete flexibility in how you upgrade your suspension system and allowing you to use a single part number for multiple locations.
- Extreme durability and flex characteristics — The proprietary composite delivers just the right balance of rigidity and flex, allowing the arms to absorb impacts from big jumps and hard landings whilst resisting the catastrophic breakage that can occur with inferior materials.
- Green anodised finish — Matching the military-themed aesthetic of the green X-Maxx, these arms feature an attractive anodised green colour that coordinates with other green components like the GTX shocks and green-anodised aluminium hubs available for the X-Maxx platform.
- Easy installation process — Designed for quick installation, these arms can be swapped with stock components in approximately ten minutes, even at a leisurely working pace, making upgrades accessible to RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
- Cold-weather performance — Unlike some composite materials that become brittle in cold conditions, Traxxas' proprietary composite maintains its flex characteristics and durability even when temperatures drop, ensuring consistent performance year-round in the UK climate.
- Two-piece set — Each purchase includes two upper suspension arms, providing complete coverage for both sides of your X-Maxx's suspension and ensuring balanced, matched performance across your vehicle.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas upper suspension arms represent a significant engineering achievement in RC vehicle suspension design. Built from Traxxas' latest proprietary composite material, these components are engineered to absorb and withstand the extreme forces generated by an 8-cell powered machine that accelerates to over 50 mph and regularly encounters massive jumps and hard landings. The material composition has been specifically optimised for high loads—the sort of punishment a vehicle over 30 inches in length can generate when being driven hard at the skate park or across rough outdoor terrain. The engineering philosophy behind these arms focuses on finding the perfect balance between structural rigidity and controlled flex; too rigid and the arms shatter on impact, too flexible and they don't provide adequate suspension geometry control. Traxxas has solved this engineering challenge with their proprietary composite, which maintains this critical balance across a wide temperature range, meaning these arms perform consistently whether you're driving during the summer months or in the cold British winter. The arms are machined to precise tolerances and manufactured to Traxxas' exacting quality standards, ensuring that each piece delivers predictable performance and consistent geometry. The hingepins and shock retaining pins are secured with button-head screws that transfer directly from your existing arms, streamlining the upgrade process and ensuring compatibility with your current setup. Installation involves removing the existing arms and bolts, then simply bolting these new arms into place using the same mounting points—a process that typically takes around ten minutes and requires no special tools beyond those in a standard RC tool kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between WideMaxx upper arms and standard X-Maxx upper arms? — The WideMaxx upper arms use Traxxas' latest proprietary composite material specifically engineered for extreme durability with high loads and hard landings. These arms provide superior strength compared to stock components whilst maintaining the right amount of flex to resist breaking, even in cold weather. They're designed to take your X-Maxx's already impressive suspension to the next level of performance and reliability.
- Are these upper arms suitable for beginners? — Yes, these suspension arms are suitable for both experienced RC drivers and those relatively new to upgrading their vehicles. The installation process is straightforward, taking approximately ten minutes, and requires only basic tools. They simply bolt into the existing mounting points on your X-Maxx, making them an accessible upgrade for any RC enthusiast looking to improve durability without complicated modifications.
- Can I use these arms at different positions on my X-Maxx? — Absolutely. These upper arms fit both left and right positions and can be installed at the front or rear of the vehicle. This universal fitment means you can upgrade any position on your suspension, giving you complete flexibility in how you configure and customise your X-Maxx's suspension geometry.
- Do these arms work in cold weather? — Yes, one of the key advantages of Traxxas' proprietary composite material is that it maintains its flex characteristics and durability even in cold weather conditions. Unlike some composite materials that become brittle when temperatures drop, these arms deliver consistent performance year-round, making them ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who drive during the colder months.
- What tools do I need to install these suspension arms? — Installation requires minimal tools—just basic hex drivers and wrenches that you likely already have in your RC tool kit. The arms bolt directly onto your X-Maxx using the existing mounting points, and the hingepins and shock retaining pins transfer directly from your old arms, streamlining the upgrade process.
