Key Features
- Extended Wheelbase Design — This rear suspension arm set lengthens the wheelbase by 10 mm compared to standard arms, which improves stability during acceleration and cornering by distributing the vehicle's weight over a longer chassis. A longer wheelbase provides better handling characteristics for high-speed running and helps reduce tip-over tendency when navigating rough terrain.
- Complete Rear Arm Set — Includes all four suspension arms you need: upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left. This complete set means you can replace your entire rear suspension in one purchase, ensuring matched geometry and consistent performance across both sides of the vehicle.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality — Manufactured by Traxxas, the leading name in ready-to-run RC vehicles and spare parts worldwide, these arms are built to the same rigorous standards as OEM equipment. Genuine Traxxas parts ensure perfect compatibility, durability and reliable performance.
- Precision Engineering — These suspension arms are engineered to exact specifications to maintain proper suspension geometry and alignment, critical factors that determine how your RC short course truck handles under load and at speed. Proper geometry ensures even tyre wear and predictable handling.
- Drop-in Replacement — Designed specifically for the Traxxas Slash 1:16 4x4, these arms fit perfectly without modification or additional components, making installation straightforward for owners who understand basic RC maintenance.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Suspension Arm Set represents precision engineering in miniature form. These rear suspension components are manufactured to strict tolerances that ensure repeatable handling characteristics and vehicle stability across a wide range of driving conditions. The extended wheelbase geometry of 10 mm adds significantly to the Slash's overall stability during high-speed cornering and acceleration phases. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK who run their Slash on varied surfaces—from grass and dirt to concrete and asphalt—maintaining proper suspension geometry through quality replacement arms is essential. The four-arm configuration (upper and lower on each side) works together as a system to control wheel movement, manage body roll, and maintain consistent ride height. Quality materials and manufacturing tolerances in these arms directly impact your vehicle's responsiveness to steering inputs, braking stability, and acceleration traction. Whether you're using your 1/16 Slash for casual bashing or serious on-road competition, suspension condition is critical to performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these suspension arms fit my Traxxas Slash 1/16 short course truck? — Yes, these arms are engineered specifically for the Traxxas Slash 1:16 4x4 RTR Short Course Truck with model number TRX70054-8-BLK. They are genuine Traxxas OEM components designed for perfect fitment and performance on this platform.
- What is the benefit of the 10 mm extended wheelbase? — The extended wheelbase lengthens the distance between front and rear axles by 10 mm, which improves stability during acceleration, deceleration and cornering. This longer wheelbase helps reduce tipping tendency and provides more predictable handling characteristics, particularly beneficial when running your Slash at high speeds or on rough terrain.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are authentic Traxxas suspension arms manufactured to original equipment specifications. The part number TRX7032 and EAN code 0020334703200 confirm this is genuine Traxxas product. Using authentic Traxxas spare parts ensures compatibility, quality and longevity.
- Why would I need to replace or upgrade my suspension arms? — Suspension arms can crack or bend from impacts, particularly if you bash hard or run frequently. Bent arms cause handling problems and uneven tyre wear. Upgrading to extended wheelbase arms like these changes your vehicle's handling characteristics for improved stability. Many owners keep spare arms on hand so downtime is minimal between repairs.
- How difficult is installation on my RC short course truck? — These are drop-in replacement arms requiring only basic RC maintenance skills. You'll need standard tools like hex drivers and a basic understanding of RC suspension geometry. Detailed installation guidance can be found in Traxxas manuals and online RC communities.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC? — These are replacement parts rather than a complete vehicle, so they're aimed at RC enthusiasts who already own a Slash and understand basic maintenance. If you own a Traxxas Slash 1:16, having spare suspension arms is a prudent investment as replacements are far cheaper than body damage repairs.
