Traxxas Suspension Pin Mounts Rear Anti-Squat Blocks TRX5559

Overview

The Traxxas Mounts, suspension pin (Rear anti-squat blocks) TRX5559 are essential tuning components for fine-tuning your Traxxas RC car's suspension geometry and handling characteristics. These precision-engineered rear anti-squat blocks allow you to dial in the perfect suspension settings, giving you complete control over how your vehicle behaves under acceleration and braking. Whether you're a competitive racer looking to optimise your RC car UK setup for track conditions, or an enthusiast wanting to experiment with different suspension geometries, these adjustable mounts offer the flexibility you need to achieve the perfect handling balance.

These suspension blocks represent the level of detailed tuning that separates a standard RC car from a finely-tuned racing machine. By allowing you to adjust the anti-squat angle of the suspension arms, you can control how much your vehicle's rear end squats during acceleration, which directly impacts traction, stability and cornering performance. Available in four different offset angles (1.5, 2.25, 3.0 and 3.75 degrees), each configuration offers distinct handling characteristics that cater to different driving styles, track surfaces and weather conditions. For anyone serious about maximising their RC car's performance, these suspension pin mounts are an investment in control and precision.

The Traxxas suspension pin mount system is designed for ease of installation and quick adjustment between driving sessions. With one of each angle included, you can experiment and find the perfect anti-squat setting for your specific needs without purchasing multiple kits. This makes them an excellent addition to any RC enthusiast's tuning toolkit, whether you're running your vehicle on asphalt, carpet tracks, or off-road surfaces.

Key Features

• Four different offset angles (1.5°, 2.25°, 3.0° and 3.75°) — You receive one block of each angle included in this package, allowing you to test and dial in the exact anti-squat geometry that suits your vehicle's weight distribution, motor power, transmission setup and driving conditions. This flexibility is crucial for competitive racing where even small adjustments can impact lap times.
• Anti-squat adjustment capability — These blocks directly control the anti-squat characteristics of your suspension arms, which determines how much your vehicle's rear end compresses during acceleration. Proper anti-squat geometry maximises traction during acceleration and improves overall stability, particularly important for high-powered brushless RC cars and competition setups.
• Rear toe angle adjustment — In addition to anti-squat tuning, the offset inserts allow you to adjust the rear toe angle of your suspension arms. Toe angle affects how your tyres grip the track during cornering and straight-line driving, making this a critical tuning parameter for achieving optimal handling balance.
• Precision engineering — These suspension components are manufactured to Traxxas' exacting standards, ensuring consistent performance and reliable fitment on compatible Traxxas RC vehicles. Precision mounts are essential for maintaining predictable handling and preventing unwanted variables in your RC car's behaviour.
• Easy installation and quick changes — The suspension pin mount system is designed for straightforward installation and allows you to quickly swap between different offset angles between driving sessions, making experimentation and fine-tuning accessible to all skill levels.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas suspension pin mounts represent precision engineering designed to give you granular control over your RC vehicle's handling characteristics. By providing four distinct offset angles, these components allow you to optimise anti-squat geometry for virtually any driving condition or vehicle configuration. Anti-squat is a fundamental suspension geometry measurement that directly influences how your vehicle transfers weight during acceleration and how much traction you can generate. A vehicle that squats too much may wheel-spin excessively and lose forward momentum, whilst insufficient anti-squat can cause the front end to lift excessively, reducing steering control and front tyre grip. The inclusion of four different angles—1.5, 2.25, 3.0 and 3.75 degrees—means you can match your setup to your specific vehicle's weight distribution, motor power, transmission type and the particular track or terrain you're driving on. Whether you're running a stock standard RC car or a highly tuned competition vehicle with brushless motors and advanced electronics, these suspension blocks provide the fine-tuning capability that separates consistent runners from race winners. The offset insert system also allows rear toe angle adjustment, another critical suspension geometry parameter that affects cornering grip and straight-line stability. Quality suspension tuning components like these are essential for anyone looking to extract maximum performance from their RC car UK setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is anti-squat and why does it matter for my RC car? — Anti-squat refers to suspension geometry that resists the natural tendency of a vehicle's rear end to compress (squat) during acceleration. When you apply throttle, weight transfers to the rear wheels, causing them to compress. Proper anti-squat geometry helps maintain optimal tyre contact patch and suspension geometry during this weight transfer, maximising traction and acceleration performance. Too little anti-squat results in excessive rear squat and potential wheel spin, whilst too much can cause instability. These suspension pin mounts allow you to dial in the perfect amount for your specific vehicle and driving conditions.
• Which anti-squat angle should I use? — The optimal angle depends on several factors including your vehicle's weight distribution, motor power, transmission gearing, and track conditions. Generally, more powerful vehicles and softer track surfaces benefit from higher anti-squat angles (2.25° to 3.75°), whilst lighter vehicles and hard track surfaces may perform better with lower angles (1.5° to 2.25°). We recommend starting with 2.25° and adjusting up or down based on how your vehicle accelerates and handles.
• Can I adjust the rear toe angle with these mounts? — Yes, the offset inserts on these suspension pin mounts allow you to adjust the rear toe angle in addition to anti-squat geometry. Toe angle affects how your tyres bite during cornering and acceleration, making it another important tuning parameter for achieving your ideal handling balance.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — These suspension tuning components are best suited to intermediate and advanced RC enthusiasts who understand suspension geometry and how to methodically test setup changes. Beginners may find them valuable for learning about suspension tuning, but they're most beneficial for those already comfortable with basic RC car maintenance and setup.
• What vehicles are these compatible with? — These suspension pin mounts are designed for Traxxas RC vehicles. Please check your specific vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
• How do I know if I need different anti-squat angles? — If you're experiencing excessive wheel spin during acceleration, your vehicle feels unstable when accelerating, or you're looking to optimise for a specific track surface, experimenting with different anti-squat angles will likely improve performance. The four angles included in this package give you a wide range to experiment with.
