Technical Performance
The Traxxas Suspension arms, rear TRX10727-BLK represent a carefully engineered suspension upgrade that improves upon the standard Mini Maxx geometry. Built from high-strength composite material specifically formulated by Traxxas for impact resistance and durability, these arms maintain their performance characteristics even after repeated hard landings and aggressive cornering. The WideMaxx design increases the track width of your rear suspension, which fundamentally changes how your Mini Maxx manages weight transfer during cornering, acceleration, and braking. This wider stance reduces body roll, keeps your tyres working at more optimal angles, and delivers more predictable handling characteristics. The engineering behind these arms reflects Traxxas's reputation for quality in the RC car UK market, where demanding conditions require components that can withstand serious punishment. The composite material is colour-fast and resistant to UV degradation, ensuring that your black arms maintain their appearance through extended outdoor use. These arms are specifically sized and engineered for the Mini Maxx chassis, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with the #10790 Mini Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit, which represents the complete suspension solution combining these arms with extended driveshafts and toe links.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the WideMaxx suspension design and how does it improve my Mini Maxx's handling? — The WideMaxx suspension arms widen your Mini Maxx's stance by increasing the track width at the rear. This geometry change reduces body roll during cornering, improves weight distribution, and keeps your tyres at more optimal slip angles. The result is significantly improved cornering stability and more predictable handling characteristics, making your RC car easier to control through high-speed turns and more responsive to steering inputs.
- Are these suspension arms suitable for beginners? — Whilst these arms are appropriate for any Mini Maxx owner seeking improved performance, they do require extended driveshafts and toe links to function correctly. For this reason, beginners may benefit from purchasing the complete #10790 WideMaxx Suspension Kit which includes everything needed. The installation itself is straightforward and accessible to most RC enthusiasts with basic maintenance tools.
- Will these arms fit my standard Mini Maxx? — Yes, these rear suspension arms are specifically designed for the Mini Maxx chassis and are compatible with all standard Mini Maxx models. However, to realise their full performance potential and proper fitment, you will need to upgrade to extended driveshafts and toe links, which are included in the #10790 Mini Maxx WideMaxx suspension kit.
- What makes Traxxas composite material special? — Traxxas's composite material is specifically formulated for RC applications, offering an exceptional balance of strength, flexibility, and impact resistance. Unlike some cheaper alternatives, this material maintains its properties after repeated impacts, resists colour fading from UV exposure, and provides consistent performance throughout the lifespan of the component, making it a worthwhile investment for serious RC enthusiasts.
- How do I know if I need the extended driveshafts and toe links? — The WideMaxx suspension arms increase the track width at the rear. To maintain proper suspension geometry and ensure correct alignment, extended driveshafts and toe links are absolutely required. Installing these arms without the extended driveshafts would result in incorrect suspension angles and poor handling. The complete #10790 WideMaxx Suspension Kit includes all three components needed.
- Will upgrading to WideMaxx arms significantly improve my lap times? — Yes, the improved cornering stability and reduced body roll provided by the WideMaxx geometry typically translates to measurably faster lap times, particularly on courses with high-speed corners. Most users report noticeably improved handling predictability and increased confidence when driving through technical sections, benefits that apply equally to competitive racing and recreational bashing.
