RC car suspension maintenance is a critical aspect of vehicle ownership, and having quality replacement parts on hand is essential for any serious RC enthusiast. These Traxxas steel pushrods are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance every single time you take your vehicle out to play.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction — Made from premium-grade steel, these pushrods offer exceptional strength and durability compared to lighter alternatives, allowing you to tackle demanding terrain and aggressive driving styles without risk of bending or breaking mid-race.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends — Each pushrod comes fully assembled with rod ends already installed, eliminating the need for additional assembly work and ensuring correct installation, which saves you time and reduces the risk of assembly errors.
- Genuine Traxxas Parts — These are authentic factory replacement components manufactured by Traxxas, guaranteeing compatibility with your E-Revo VXL and other compatible vehicles, and ensuring you receive the exact same quality and specifications as the original equipment.
- Compatible with #5359 Progressive 3 Rockers — Specifically engineered to work seamlessly with the #5359 progressive 3 rockers suspension system, these pushrods provide optimal geometry and performance for vehicles using this advanced suspension setup.
- Pair Quantity — You receive two pushrods in each package, which is the standard requirement for most suspension configurations, allowing you to complete a full replacement or maintain spares for future use.
- Black Finish — The sleek black coating provides both aesthetic appeal and protection against the elements, keeping your RC car looking sharp whilst extending the lifespan of the components through corrosion resistance.
Technical Performance
These heavy-duty steel pushrods represent a significant step up in suspension reliability and performance for your RC vehicle. The steel material offers substantially higher tensile strength than plastic or aluminium alternatives, meaning the pushrods can withstand repeated impacts, sudden direction changes, and the constant stress of high-speed driving without deforming or breaking. This is particularly important when driving on rough terrain, jumping, or engaging in competitive racing where suspension components are subjected to extreme forces. The pre-assembled rod ends ensure that the pushrods are ready to install immediately, with no additional tools or expertise required beyond basic mechanical knowledge. For users of the E-Revo VXL platform and vehicles compatible with the #5359 progressive 3 rockers system, these pushrods deliver the exact geometry and length required for optimal suspension performance, maintaining the carefully engineered angles and travel that Traxxas designed into these suspension systems. Whether you're upgrading worn components or simply maintaining spares for your RC car, these pushrods ensure consistent performance across multiple driving sessions and environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these pushrods suitable for my Traxxas RC vehicle? — These pushrods are designed specifically for Traxxas E-Revo VXL vehicles and are compatible with the #5359 progressive 3 rockers suspension system. Check your vehicle's documentation to confirm compatibility before purchasing, though these are genuine Traxxas parts designed for their own platform.
- Do I need any tools to install these pushrods? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools such as a hex driver set and possibly a small socket wrench. The pushrods come pre-assembled with rod ends, so you simply need to remove the old pushrods and install the new ones by connecting them to your suspension rockers and chassis mount points.
- Why should I choose steel pushrods over plastic alternatives? — Steel pushrods offer significantly greater durability, strength, and longevity compared to plastic components. They resist bending under stress, withstand impact better, and maintain their shape longer, making them the ideal choice for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance.
- How often should I replace my pushrods? — The replacement frequency depends on your driving style and conditions. Heavy-duty users who regularly bash or race should inspect their pushrods regularly for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Most users find that quality steel pushrods last for many months or even years of regular use before requiring replacement.
- Can I use these pushrods as spares? — Absolutely. Having spare pushrods on hand is highly recommended for any serious RC car enthusiast, as suspension components are wear items that can fail during intense driving. Keeping replacements available means you can get back on the track or trail quickly without lengthy downtime.
- What is the difference between these steel pushrods and lighter alternatives? — Steel pushrods provide superior strength and durability compared to plastic or lighter material options. Whilst they may be slightly heavier, the increased reliability, resistance to bending, and longer lifespan make them the better choice for demanding driving applications where component failure is unacceptable.
