- Complete Arm Set — The package includes all four suspension arms needed for a full rear suspension conversion: upper right arm, upper left arm, lower right arm, and lower left arm, so you have everything required in a single purchase without hunting for multiple part numbers.
- Genuine Traxxas Engineering — As an official Traxxas spare part, these arms are manufactured to the same rigorous standards as your original equipment, ensuring perfect fitment, durability, and performance compatibility with your 1/16 E-Revo or Summit.
- Direct Compatibility — These arms are specifically engineered to fit Traxxas 1/16 scale E-Revo VXL and Summit models, eliminating compatibility guesswork and ensuring hassle-free installation without modification or adaptation.
- Performance Tuning Solution — Extended wheelbase setups are a recognised tuning technique in the competitive RC racing community for improving traction and handling on rough terrain, making this an ideal upgrade for drivers looking to fine-tune their truck's behaviour.
- Durable Construction — Traxxas suspension arms are built from high-quality materials selected to withstand the stresses of aggressive off-road driving, repeated collisions, and long-term use in all weather conditions typical of UK RC driving.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Suspension Arm Set Rear Extended Wheelbase represents a straightforward but effective performance modification for your 1/16 scale brushless RC monster truck. The 10mm wheelbase extension shifts the weight distribution and changes the vehicle's roll characteristics, resulting in improved traction during acceleration and braking whilst also enhancing stability during high-speed cornering across bumpy terrain. The extended geometry is particularly beneficial when running aggressive off-road tyres or when bashing in loose conditions where the additional wheelbase helps the truck maintain directional stability. These suspension arms are manufactured from durable engineering-grade plastics and reinforced components that resist breaking under the extreme forces generated by brushless motors and aggressive driving. The precision engineering ensures exact fitment to Traxxas' specification, with no binding or clearance issues during suspension travel. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanics knowledge, typically requiring only simple hand tools. The extended wheelbase configuration is a proven tuning solution utilised by competitive RC racers and serious bashers throughout the UK and internationally, demonstrating its real-world performance value in enhancing vehicle handling and traction characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models are compatible with the TRX7132R suspension arm set? — This extended wheelbase arm set is specifically designed for Traxxas 1/16 scale models, including the E-Revo VXL and Summit monster trucks. It will not fit other scales or model ranges, so verify your vehicle's model number before ordering.
- How much does the extended wheelbase actually affect handling? — The 10mm wheelbase extension provides noticeable improvements in traction and cornering stability, particularly on uneven terrain where the additional length helps keep the truck planted and reduces understeer tendencies. You'll notice improved straight-line stability and better power delivery through corners, especially at high speeds.
- Is this a difficult modification to install? — Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanics experience. You'll need to remove the existing suspension arms and install these new extended arms in their place. The process typically takes 20-30 minutes per side with basic hand tools. Detailed installation instructions are available on the Traxxas website if you need guidance.
- What is the difference between standard and extended wheelbase arms? — The extended wheelbase version (TRX7132R) includes rear suspension arms that position the rear axle 10mm further back compared to standard arms, effectively lengthening the truck's overall wheelbase. This changes the vehicle's weight distribution, roll characteristics, and suspension geometry for improved stability and traction.
- Do I need to replace my shock absorbers or other suspension components? — The arm set itself is a direct replacement with no additional modifications needed. However, some RC drivers choose to adjust shock settings or spring rates after installing extended wheelbase arms to optimise their truck's handling characteristics for their preferred driving style.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a genuine spare part requiring some mechanical knowledge to install, beginners can successfully perform this modification by carefully following instructions or seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts. The installation is more straightforward than major chassis work, making it an achievable project for developing mechanics.
- Will this affect my truck's performance in racing? — Extended wheelbase setups are used by serious competitive RC racers because they genuinely improve handling and traction. Whether the modification helps your specific driving style and racing conditions depends on your track layout and driving technique, but the extended wheelbase is generally considered a performance advantage.
