Key Features
- Proprietary Composite Material Construction — Traxxas engineered this suspension arm from their latest proprietary composite material specifically designed to handle extreme durability demands. This material has been formulated to resist breaking even in cold weather conditions, giving you consistent performance year-round regardless of outdoor temperature fluctuations.
- Built for Extreme Loads and Hard Landings — Unlike standard suspension arms, this component is engineered with just the right amount of flex to absorb impact from hard landings and high-load situations. The balance between rigidity and flexibility means the arm will flex under stress rather than snap, protecting both itself and the rest of your suspension system.
- Heavy-Duty WideMaxx Suspension Design — This lower suspension arm is part of Traxxas's WideMaxx suspension system, which represents advanced engineering designed for maximum performance. The WideMaxx system offers improved geometry and durability compared to standard suspension setups.
- Extreme Weather Performance — The proprietary composite material maintains its structural integrity and performance characteristics even in cold weather conditions. This means you can take your RC model out for winter bashing without worrying about suspension component failure due to temperature changes.
- Orange Colour Finish — Finished in a vibrant orange colour, this suspension arm allows you to maintain consistent aesthetics with your RC model whilst upgrading to performance-focused components. The colour is durable and resistant to fading from UV exposure.
- Compatible with Multiple Traxxas Models — This arm is designed for use with the #7895 X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit and is compatible with several Traxxas RC models including the XRT Ultimate and XRT VXL-8S series in multiple colour variants, making it a versatile spare part for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Proven Traxxas Engineering — As a genuine Traxxas component, this suspension arm benefits from decades of RC engineering expertise and real-world testing. Traxxas suspension components are trusted by professional RC drivers and weekend bashers alike across the UK and worldwide.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Suspension arm, lower, Orange TRX7893T represents the culmination of Traxxas's engineering expertise in suspension component design. The lower suspension arm is a critical component in any RC vehicle's suspension system, responsible for connecting the steering mechanism and shock absorber to the wheel hub whilst maintaining proper wheel alignment and geometry. This particular arm is manufactured from Traxxas's proprietary composite material, a specially formulated compound that offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional plastic or metal alternatives. The composite material has been engineered to perform consistently across a wide temperature range, meaning your RC model will handle the same whether you're bashing in summer heat or winter cold. The arm features the right amount of flex to absorb impacts from hard landings and rough terrain without becoming brittle or cracking under stress — a critical advantage over rigid metal alternatives that can shatter on impact. For users of 1/10 scale RC buggies, monster trucks, and bashers, suspension arm durability is paramount, and this component delivers the reliability expected from Traxxas's premium product line. The lower arm's geometry is specifically designed to work within the WideMaxx suspension system, which offers improved suspension travel and ground clearance compared to standard setups. This makes the arm particularly suited for extreme bashing, jumps, and aggressive driving styles where suspension articulation and impact absorption are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Traxxas WideMaxx suspension system and why should I upgrade to it? — The WideMaxx suspension system is Traxxas's advanced suspension platform designed to offer improved geometry, wider track width, and enhanced articulation compared to standard suspension setups. By upgrading to WideMaxx components like this lower suspension arm, you gain better handling, improved traction, and enhanced durability for extreme driving. The WideMaxx system is particularly popular among RC bashers who perform big jumps and aggressive manoeuvres.
- Is this suspension arm suitable for beginners? — This component is best suited for RC enthusiasts with some experience in RC maintenance and suspension setup. Whilst the arm itself is straightforward in design, installing suspension components requires basic mechanical knowledge and the right tools. However, if you already own a compatible Traxxas model and are familiar with basic RC maintenance, replacing or upgrading a suspension arm is an achievable task.
- What makes this suspension arm more durable than standard alternatives? — The key to this arm's durability is the proprietary composite material Traxxas engineered specifically for high-load applications and hard landings. This material balances rigidity with flexibility, allowing the arm to flex under impact rather than break. Additionally, the material maintains performance in cold weather, unlike some plastics that become brittle at low temperatures. The engineering represents years of Traxxas research and real-world testing with professional RC drivers.
- Which Traxxas models are compatible with this suspension arm? — This lower suspension arm is designed for use with the #7895 X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit and is compatible with several Traxxas models including the Traxxas XRT Ultimate in green and blue variants, the Traxxas XRT VXL-8S in blue, orange, black, and green variants, and the Traxxas X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit itself. Check your specific model's documentation to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- Can I use this arm as a left-side replacement as well as right-side? — This particular arm is specified as right, front or rear, meaning it can be used on the right side of your RC model in either the front or rear suspension position. For left-side replacement, you would need to source the matching left-side lower arm (model TRX7892T) to maintain proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics.
- Will this arm improve my RC model's performance? — If your current suspension arm is damaged or if you're upgrading from standard suspension components to the WideMaxx system, this arm will improve durability and handling. The improved geometry of the WideMaxx system combined with the durable composite material means better suspension articulation, improved traction, and more reliable performance, particularly for jumps and aggressive driving. The performance improvement is most noticeable if you're upgrading from standard to WideMaxx components or if you're replacing a damaged original component.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, the TRX7893T is an official Traxxas suspension arm component manufactured to Traxxas's specifications and quality standards. When you purchase from an authorised Traxxas retailer, you can be confident you're receiving a genuine component with full manufacturer support and warranty coverage.
