Overview
The Traxxas Suspension arms, upper, Blue (left or right, front or rear) (2 pcs) are essential replacement or upgrade components designed specifically for the X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit. These heavy-duty suspension arms represent the pinnacle of Traxxas engineering, crafted from their latest proprietary composite material that has been specifically formulated to withstand extreme loads and punishing landings. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your X-Maxx, or you're upgrading your suspension setup for better durability, these upper suspension arms offer the reliability and performance you need. The WideMaxx suspension system is renowned for its ability to handle aggressive driving styles, and these arms are engineered to match that capability.
Built for the toughest RC driving conditions, these suspension arms excel whether you're launching your X-Maxx off ramps at the skate park or bashingthrough challenging terrain. The blue colour matches the aesthetics of the WideMaxx suspension kit, giving your RC car a cohesive, professional appearance. Unlike standard suspension components, Traxxas designed these arms with a specific balance of rigidity and flex, ensuring they resist breaking even in cold weather conditions when materials typically become brittle. This makes them an ideal choice for year-round RC driving across the UK climate.
As a crucial part of the X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension system, these upper arms work in conjunction with lower arms and other suspension components to deliver the exceptional handling and durability that Traxxas is recognised for. If you're serious about maintaining peak performance from your X-Maxx or building a complete WideMaxx suspension setup, investing in genuine Traxxas replacement arms is essential for long-term reliability and performance.
Key Features
- Proprietary Composite Material — Traxxas has engineered these arms from their latest composite formula specifically designed for extreme durability. This bespoke material offers the perfect balance between strength and flex, allowing the arms to absorb impacts from hard landings without snapping or breaking.
- Cold Weather Performance — Unlike many composite suspension components that become brittle and prone to breaking in cold conditions, these arms maintain their integrity even during winter RC driving sessions. This makes them suitable for year-round use across varying UK weather conditions.
- Extreme Durability — Built for high loads and punishment, these suspension arms are engineered to handle aggressive driving styles, hard impacts, and extreme racing conditions without premature failure or degradation.
- Universal Fit Design — Each pack contains two suspension arms that can be used as left or right, front or rear configurations. This versatility means you can use them in multiple positions on your X-Maxx, making them an efficient solution for maintaining your suspension system.
- Authentic Blue Colour — Matching the design aesthetic of the X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit, these blue arms create a coordinated, professional appearance on your RC vehicle.
- Heavy-Duty Construction — Purpose-built for demanding applications where standard suspension components would fail, these arms represent heavy-duty engineering from one of the most trusted names in RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
These upper suspension arms are engineered using advanced materials science that Traxxas has developed specifically for high-performance RC applications. The proprietary composite material used in their construction has been formulated to provide superior load-bearing capacity whilst maintaining sufficient flex to absorb impacts effectively. This engineering approach prevents the brittle failure modes that plague lesser-quality suspension components, particularly in cold temperatures where material brittleness becomes a significant issue. The arms are designed to work as part of the complete X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension ecosystem, which is renowned for delivering exceptional wheel articulation and ground clearance. By maintaining rigid geometry whilst allowing controlled flex through the composite material itself rather than relying on overly thin sections, Traxxas has created components that can handle the extreme forces generated during high-speed launches, ramp jumps, and aggressive bashing. The engineering focus on resistance to breaking during hard landings means you'll experience fewer suspension failures during intense driving sessions, whether at the skate park or on rough terrain. The material also resists the fatigue cracking that can develop in lower-quality arms after repeated impacts, ensuring consistent performance over extended use. These specifications make them suitable for dedicated RC enthusiasts running brushless setups on their X-Maxx who demand reliability from every component.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these suspension arms compatible with my Traxxas X-Maxx? — These upper suspension arms are specifically designed for use with the X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit (part number #7895). They are engineered to fit the WideMaxx system and will not be compatible with standard X-Maxx trucks that do not use the WideMaxx suspension. Always verify your vehicle has the WideMaxx suspension before ordering these components.
- Can I use these arms on the front and rear of my RC vehicle? — Yes, these suspension arms are designed with universal left or right, front or rear compatibility. The two arms included in each pack can be configured in multiple ways depending on your specific needs, providing flexibility in how you maintain or build out your suspension system.
- Why do these composite arms resist breaking in cold weather? — Traxxas designed this specific composite material to maintain its structural integrity even in cold temperatures. Many composite materials become brittle in cold weather, but these arms are formulated to retain their optimal balance of rigidity and flex throughout the year, making them suitable for winter RC driving across the UK.
- What is the proprietary composite material? — Traxxas does not disclose the exact chemical composition of their proprietary composite, but it has been engineered specifically for high-load applications and hard landings. The material is designed to provide the right amount of flex to resist breaking whilst maintaining the strength needed for demanding RC driving conditions.
- Are these suspension arms suitable for beginners? — These are replacement suspension components rather than complete pre-assembled systems. They are most suitable for experienced RC enthusiasts who understand how to disassemble and reassemble suspension systems. If you are new to RC vehicles, consider purchasing a complete ready-to-run vehicle rather than individual components.
- How do I know if I need to replace my suspension arms? — You should consider replacing your upper suspension arms if they show visible cracks, bending, or if your vehicle's handling has become noticeably poor. Regular inspection after hard driving sessions is recommended to catch damage early.
- What other components do I need to complete a full suspension setup? — The X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension system includes multiple components. Alongside these upper arms, you will need lower suspension arms, shocks, bearings, and other hardware. Refer to the complete WideMaxx suspension kit documentation for a full parts list.
- Where can I buy these suspension arms in the UK? — These genuine Traxxas suspension arms are available from authorised Traxxas retailers across the UK. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures you receive authentic components with proper warranty support and customer service.
