Overview

The Traxxas Push rod (Steel) (assembled with rod ends) (2 pcs) TRX5918 is an essential replacement suspension component for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand durability and reliability from their RC cars. These heavy-duty steel pushrods are specifically designed for Traxxas models and come pre-assembled with rod ends, making installation straightforward and hassle-free. Whether you're maintaining your existing RC vehicle or upgrading to more robust suspension components, these steel pushrods represent a significant step up in performance and longevity compared to standard options.

If you're running a high-performance RC model and looking to upgrade your suspension system, these steel pushrods are engineered to handle the demands of aggressive driving, whether you're bashing around the garden, competing at your local RC track, or pushing your vehicle to its limits. The heavy-duty construction means these components will withstand the punishment that comes with serious RC car use. For RC car enthusiasts across the UK who want reliable suspension spares that won't let them down mid-session, the TRX5918 pushrods are an excellent choice that delivers proven performance.

Ready to run RC cars and dedicated hobby-grade models benefit enormously from quality suspension components, and Traxxas is recognised as one of the leading manufacturers in the RC hobby. These pushrods are sold as a pair, so you get everything you need for a complete suspension overhaul or replacement when wear and tear takes its toll.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty steel construction — The pushrods are manufactured from steel rather than plastic or aluminium, which means they can absorb tremendous amounts of shock and stress without bending, cracking or breaking under load, making them ideal for aggressive driving styles and high-impact terrain.
• Pre-assembled with rod ends — These pushrods come ready to install with nylon rod ends already fitted, eliminating the need for additional assembly work and ensuring perfect compatibility with your Traxxas model, saving you time and frustration.
• Nylon rod ends — The rod ends feature nylon construction which provides smooth articulation and movement, allowing your suspension to work freely whilst maintaining a secure connection to your suspension components and rockers.
• Sold as a pair — You receive two complete pushrods in every package, which means you can replace both front or both rear pushrods in one purchase, or keep spares on hand for when your current rods eventually wear out.
• Compatible with progressive-2 rockers — These pushrods are specifically engineered to work with progressive-2 rocker designs, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and performance characteristics that Traxxas has tuned for maximum handling.
• Precise dimensions — With a length of 91mm and diameter of 5mm, these pushrods are manufactured to exact specifications that guarantee perfect fit and function with your Traxxas suspension system without modification or adjustment required.

Technical Performance

The TRX5918 pushrods represent the pinnacle of Traxxas suspension engineering, manufactured from robust steel that provides superior durability compared to lighter materials. At 91mm in length with a precise 5mm diameter, these components are engineered to maintain perfect geometry and suspension performance under extreme driving conditions. The heavy-duty steel construction is the key to understanding why these pushrods outperform standard alternatives — steel simply doesn't bend or flex like plastic or lighter metals, meaning your suspension maintains its intended geometry session after session, lap after lap. The pre-assembled nylon rod ends eliminate installation headaches and ensure smooth articulation throughout the full range of suspension travel. Whether you're running your Traxxas Nitro Slayer Pro 4wd or another compatible model, these pushrods deliver the kind of reliable, consistent performance that separates serious hobbyists from casual users. The engineering behind these components reflects decades of Traxxas experience in high-performance RC vehicles, and every detail has been optimised for maximum durability and minimal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What vehicles do these pushrods fit? — The Traxxas TRX5918 pushrods are designed for use with Traxxas Nitro Slayer Pro 4wd and other compatible Traxxas models that use progressive-2 rockers in their suspension system. Always check your vehicle's manual or contact our team to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
• Are these pushrods better than the standard plastic ones? — Yes, significantly. The heavy-duty steel construction of the TRX5918 provides superior strength, durability and resistance to bending compared to plastic pushrods. Steel components maintain their shape and geometry under stress, which means your suspension will perform more consistently and reliably, especially during aggressive driving or racing.
• Do I need any tools to install these pushrods? — The installation process is straightforward since these pushrods come pre-assembled with rod ends already fitted. You'll need basic RC tools like the appropriate wrench or socket to remove your old pushrods and install the new ones, but there's no additional assembly or modification required.
• How often should I replace my pushrods? — The lifespan of your pushrods depends entirely on how heavily you use your RC vehicle. Casual bashers might get several seasons out of a set, whilst competitive racers or aggressive drivers may need replacements more frequently. Steel pushrods last significantly longer than plastic alternatives, making them a smart long-term investment for any serious RC enthusiast.
• What makes these compatible with progressive-2 rockers? — Progressive-2 rockers are a specific suspension design where the linkage geometry changes through the range of suspension travel, and these pushrods have been engineered with the exact length and angle specifications required to work perfectly with that rocker design, ensuring optimal suspension performance.
• Is this a genuine Traxxas product? — Yes, the TRX5918 is an official Traxxas replacement part, manufactured to the same exacting standards as all genuine Traxxas components. Buying genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility, reliability and warranty coverage.
