Overview
The Traxxas Aluminium Spacers TRX2539 are precision-engineered suspension components designed for serious RC enthusiasts and competition racers across the UK who demand the highest level of performance tuning capability. These lightweight aluminium spacers are essential for fine-tuning your Traxxas Revo 3.3 or compatible Traxxas RC vehicles, allowing you to dial in the perfect suspension geometry and ride height for your specific track conditions and driving style. Whether you are a weekend basher at your local track or a competitive racer preparing your RC buggy or monster truck for national championships, these spacers provide the adjustability you need to achieve maximum performance.
Suspension geometry is critical to RC car handling, and the ability to adjust down travel on your pushrods and rockers makes all the difference between a truck that feels responsive and one that feels sluggish or unpredictable. The Traxxas Aluminium Spacers give you multiple thickness options—3x6x1.5mm, 3x6x2.5mm, and 3x6x3.8mm—allowing you to build the exact suspension setup you require. These spacers are an investment in your RC racing performance, enabling you to experiment with different configurations to find your perfect compromise between responsiveness and stability. For anyone serious about RC car tuning in the UK, these genuine Traxxas spacers are an essential part of any competition toolkit.
As part of the Traxxas genuine parts range, these aluminium spacers are manufactured to the exact tolerances demanded by professional RC racers worldwide. Rather than settling for cheap aftermarket alternatives, choosing Traxxas original equipment ensures perfect fitment, durability and compatibility with your existing Revo suspension components. The precision engineering that goes into every Traxxas spare part is the reason Traxxas vehicles have won nearly every major monster truck racing event and taken home gold in every national championship they have entered.
Key Features
- Multiple thickness options — The set includes spacers in three different thicknesses (1.5mm, 2.5mm, and 3.8mm), allowing you to precisely adjust your pushrod down travel and fine-tune your suspension response to match your track conditions and personal driving preferences.
- Genuine Traxxas components — These are original Traxxas parts manufactured to the exact specifications used by Traxxas factory race teams, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability during competition.
- Lightweight aluminium construction — Aluminium spacers keep weight to a minimum while providing the rigidity needed for consistent suspension geometry, which is critical for maintaining predictable handling lap after lap.
- Essential for suspension tuning — By removing or adding shims through these spacers, you can control your vehicle's down travel, allowing you to make your RC truck more responsive in corners or calmer over rough terrain depending on track conditions.
- Professional-grade precision — These spacers are manufactured to the tolerances used by professional Traxxas RC racing teams, ensuring consistent performance and repeatability in your setups.
- Versatile compatibility — Designed for use with Traxxas suspension systems, particularly the Revo series, these spacers work with your existing pushrods and rockers.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Aluminium Spacers represent the kind of precision engineering detail that separates winning RC setups from mediocre ones. Manufactured from lightweight yet rigid aluminium, these spacers are engineered to exacting tolerances to ensure they fit perfectly with Traxxas pushrods, rockers and suspension arms. The inclusion of multiple thickness options—specifically 3x6x1.5mm (2 pieces), 3x6x2.5mm (1 piece), and 3x6x3.8mm (2 pieces)—gives you a total of five spacers with which to dial in your suspension geometry precisely. This flexibility is particularly valuable when tuning down travel on your RC monster truck or buggy, as professional Traxxas racers demonstrate in their setup guides. The dimensional consistency of these spacers ensures that as you swap them in and out during your experimentation phase, you maintain repeatability and can accurately identify which setup changes actually improve your lap times. The aluminium material choice is significant: it provides sufficient strength to handle the forces exerted during aggressive driving whilst remaining light enough not to add unnecessary unsprung weight to your suspension. This is critical in high-performance RC racing where every fraction of a gram matters. Whether you are running a Revo 3.3 or another compatible Traxxas vehicle, these spacers are the kind of genuine OEM components that professional competitors rely on to achieve consistent, winning performance across different track surfaces and conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of RC suspension spacers and why do I need them? — Suspension spacers, also called shims, are used on pushrods to adjust your vehicle's down travel. Down travel adjustment is one of the most important tuning parameters in RC racing. Removing shims (using thinner spacers) decreases down travel, making your truck more responsive in corners but potentially less stable over rough terrain. Adding shims (using thicker spacers) increases down travel, calming the truck down in corners and over hard jump landings. Professional Traxxas racers describe this as finding the best compromise: increasing steering response often means losing some stability, and vice versa. These spacers give you multiple thickness options to dial in your precise setup.
- How do I use these spacers in my Revo suspension setup? — The spacers are installed on your pushrods at the points where they connect to your rockers and suspension arms. Most standard setups use two shims on each pushrod (front and rear), typically in the middle position for balanced handling. To decrease down travel and increase responsiveness, you remove one shim from each pushrod. To increase down travel for a calmer, more stable setup, you use thicker spacers. The variety of thicknesses in this pack allows you to experiment and find your ideal setup.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket spacers? — These are genuine Traxxas original equipment spacers manufactured to the exact tolerances used by Traxxas factory racing teams. Using genuine Traxxas parts ensures perfect compatibility, consistent quality and the reliability that professional racers depend on. Aftermarket spacers can vary in thickness and dimensional accuracy, making it difficult to achieve repeatable setups.
- What RC vehicles are these spacers compatible with? — These spacers are designed specifically for Traxxas Revo suspension systems and compatible Traxxas vehicles that use the same pushrod and rocker configuration. They are most commonly used on the Revo 3.3 monster truck and other Traxxas models using identical suspension geometry.
- How many spacers do I get in this pack? — This pack contains five spacers total: two pieces of 3x6x1.5mm, one piece of 3x6x2.5mm, and two pieces of 3x6x3.8mm. This gives you flexibility to experiment with different down travel settings on both front and rear suspension.
- Will these spacers improve my RC truck's performance? — Spacers themselves do not directly improve performance, but correct suspension geometry absolutely does. By using these spacers to fine-tune your down travel, you can optimise your truck's handling for your specific track conditions, driving style and skill level. Professional racers describe tuning as finding the best compromise: more steering response means less stability, and vice versa. These spacers are the tool that allows you to make that adjustment. The key is to make one change at a time, evaluate the result, and keep a record of what works at each track.
