Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Composite Construction — Formed from Traxxas's toughest composite material, this suspension arm is engineered to withstand the enormous vertical and lateral forces generated during aggressive bashing, hard landings, and extreme off-road driving without cracking or flexing excessively.
- Genuine OEM Traxxas Component — As an authentic Traxxas part rather than a third-party alternative, this suspension arm is manufactured to exact factory specifications and tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment and performance with your Sledge Belted monster truck.
- Rear Right Specific Design — This arm is precision-engineered for the rear right position on the Sledge Belted chassis, with geometry specifically optimised for handling, traction and load distribution in that critical suspension location.
- Bright Red Colour Finish — The vibrant red anodised or powder-coated finish not only looks striking on your RC monster truck but also provides excellent visibility during high-speed runs, helping you track your vehicle's orientation at distance.
- Custom Appearance Enhancement — Suspension arms are a highly visible component that directly affects your RC car's visual identity, and switching to a different colour like red allows you to create a custom aesthetic that stands out at the track or bash spot.
- Compatible Across Sledge Range — This suspension arm works with all Traxxas Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD brushless electric monster trucks regardless of colour variant, making it a universal upgrade or replacement solution for the entire model range.
- Essential Wear and Tear Replacement — Suspension arms gradually wear and stress over thousands of runs; having genuine spare arms ensures you can maintain your Sledge's performance and handling characteristics as original components age.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Sledge Suspension Arm represents years of engineering refinement specifically for the demands of 1:8 scale monster truck racing and bashing. Formed from a proprietary composite material selected for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, this arm can withstand repeated high-load impacts and cornering forces that would damage lesser components. The geometry of the rear right arm has been precisely calculated to work in harmony with the Sledge's suspension linkage, shock tower mounting points, and wheel hubs, ensuring perfect alignment and predictable handling dynamics. The arm's cross-sectional profile, wall thickness, and internal ribbing are all engineered to absorb impact energy whilst maintaining rigidity during cornering and acceleration. As an OEM Traxxas component, this arm is manufactured to identical specifications whether you're purchasing it as a direct replacement for a damaged arm or as a spare for maintenance purposes. The bright red finish is applied using industrial-grade processes that provide protection against UV degradation, moisture ingress, and the abrasive environment of off-road bashing. This suspension arm is a critical component in the Sledge's renowned durability and performance package, which has earned the Sledge Belted its reputation as one of the most capable and resilient 1:8 scale brushless monster trucks available to RC enthusiasts in the UK and worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas Sledge models is this suspension arm compatible with? — The TRX9533R rear right suspension arm is compatible with all Traxxas Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD brushless electric monster trucks, including the blue (TRX95096-4-BLUE), orange (TRX95096-4-ORNG), green (TRX95096-4-GRN), and red (TRX95096-4-RED) variants. It will fit any Sledge regardless of the colour you own.
- Why would I need to replace my suspension arm? — Suspension arms experience significant stress during aggressive driving, hard landings, and rough terrain bashing. Over time, they can crack, split, or develop stress fractures that affect handling and increase the risk of catastrophic failure. Keeping genuine spare arms ensures you can quickly get back on the track or trail without compromising performance or safety.
- Is this a front or rear suspension arm? — This is specifically a rear suspension arm designed for the rear right side of the Sledge Belted chassis. The geometry, mounting points, and stress characteristics are unique to the rear position, so you cannot use this as a front replacement.
- Can I use aftermarket suspension arms instead of genuine Traxxas parts? — Whilst some third-party manufacturers produce suspension arms for the Sledge, genuine Traxxas OEM components are engineered to exact factory tolerances and specifications, ensuring perfect fitment, optimal handling characteristics, and compatibility with other genuine Traxxas parts. We recommend using genuine components to maintain your investment and performance.
- What colour options are available for this suspension arm? — The TRX9533R comes in bright red as shown. Traxxas also produces this suspension arm in other colours to match different Sledge variants, including green (TRX9533G) if you prefer a different aesthetic.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This product is a replacement suspension component rather than a complete vehicle, so it's intended for users who already own a Traxxas Sledge Belted and have basic RC maintenance knowledge. If you're new to RC, we recommend starting with a complete ready-to-run Sledge kit and consulting our experienced team before attempting suspension repairs.
- How often should I replace my suspension arms? — The lifespan of a suspension arm depends entirely on driving intensity, terrain, and impact frequency. Casual weekend bashers might see years of use from a single arm, whilst competition drivers or extreme bashers might replace arms multiple times per season. We recommend inspecting arms regularly for cracks and stress marks.
