Overview
The Traxxas Suspension Pins 26mm (Kingpins) TRX2636 are essential replacement parts for maintaining and repairing your Traxxas RC car. Whether you're a serious racer, weekend basher, or RC enthusiast in the UK looking to keep your vehicle in peak condition, these kingpins are the genuine OEM components you need. Suspension pins are critical components that connect your RC car's suspension arms to the main chassis, allowing smooth articulation and proper weight transfer during cornering, acceleration and braking. When these wear out or break during aggressive driving, having quality replacement parts on hand ensures your RC car UK experience continues without lengthy downtime.
These suspension pins are specifically engineered by Traxxas to exacting standards, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance with your compatible Traxxas RC model. The 26mm kingpin specification makes these suitable for a range of Traxxas vehicles, and the inclusion of replacement E-clips means you have everything needed for a complete suspension pin installation. Keeping genuine Traxxas spare parts in your RC toolkit is the smart choice for anyone serious about maintaining their investment and enjoying consistent, trouble-free performance on the track or the basher course.
RC Model Shop stocks all the genuine Traxxas spares and upgrades you need to keep your ready to run RC car or race kit performing at its best. These kingpins represent the kind of quality maintenance parts that separate casual hobbyists from dedicated RC enthusiasts who understand that proper maintenance and timely replacement of wear items is the foundation of reliability and performance.
Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — These are authentic manufacturer parts engineered to original specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance with your Traxxas RC vehicle, eliminating the risk of fitment issues or premature wear that can occur with third-party alternatives.
- 26mm Kingpin Length — The specific 26mm dimension matches the suspension geometry of compatible Traxxas models, ensuring correct suspension articulation, proper chassis geometry and optimal handling characteristics across all driving conditions.
- Durable Construction — Built from quality materials to withstand the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering during both casual and competitive RC driving, these pins resist bending and breakage even under aggressive driving inputs.
- Complete Installation Kit — The package includes two suspension pins plus four E-clips, providing everything needed for a complete kingpin replacement without needing to source additional fasteners separately.
- E-Clips Included — The four E-clips (also called snap rings) are the critical fastening elements that secure the kingpins in place, preventing them from shifting during use and ensuring a secure, rattle-free suspension assembly.
- Essential Maintenance Part — As wear items that experience constant stress, suspension pins benefit from periodic inspection and replacement as part of regular RC car maintenance, keeping your vehicle handling predictably and safely.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Suspension Pins TRX2636 represent the engineering precision that Traxxas applies to every component in their RC vehicles. At 26mm in length, these kingpins are precisely engineered to maintain the correct suspension geometry and ride height on compatible Traxxas models, whether you're running a ready to run RC car or a race kit. The material composition and manufacturing tolerances ensure these pins can withstand the cyclic loads and impact forces generated during normal RC driving without deformation. The inclusion of four E-clips means you have redundancy and the ability to service both kingpins with fasteners to spare. These are not generic suspension pins from unknown manufacturers — they are Traxxas genuine parts that have been tested and validated to work perfectly with their suspension systems, delivering the predictable handling and durability that competitive RC drivers demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a suspension kingpin and why does it need replacing? — The kingpin (suspension pin) is the shaft that connects your RC car's suspension arm to the main chassis, allowing the suspension to move up and down. Over time, these pins can wear, bend or break from the constant impacts and lateral forces experienced during driving, especially in competitive use. Replacing worn kingpins restores proper suspension function and handling.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX2636 are authentic Traxxas OEM parts manufactured to original specifications. Choosing genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility and reliability compared to generic aftermarket alternatives that may have tolerances or material quality issues.
- What vehicles use 26mm suspension pins? — The 26mm specification is used on various Traxxas models, though you should verify your specific vehicle model requires this size before ordering. Check your Traxxas manual or the product compatibility information for your particular RC car model.
- How often should I replace suspension pins? — For casual RC car UK driving, pins may last many months or longer depending on driving style and track conditions. For competitive racing or aggressive bashing, you may need to inspect them more frequently and replace them if you notice any bending, wear or loose suspension movement. It's good practice to inspect them after crashes or hard impacts.
- What are E-clips and why are they included? — E-clips (also called snap rings or retaining rings) are small circular fasteners that secure the kingpin in place and prevent it from sliding out of the suspension arm. The four E-clips included in this kit provide the fastening elements needed for installation and spare clips for future maintenance.
- How difficult is it to replace suspension kingpins? — Kingpin replacement is a moderate-difficulty maintenance task that typically requires removing the suspension arm, removing the old E-clip with a small tool, sliding out the worn pin, and installing the new pin with a fresh E-clip. Most RC enthusiasts can perform this task with basic tools and a little patience, though your vehicle manual will provide specific step-by-step instructions.
