Technical Performance
These Traxxas rear lower suspension links represent the pinnacle of 1/10 scale RC crawler suspension engineering. The powder-coated steel construction provides an excellent balance between weight and strength, crucial for maintaining proper suspension geometry during extreme articulation that rock crawling demands. The hollow ball joint design reduces unsprung weight whilst maintaining rigidity, allowing the suspension to respond more quickly to terrain changes and improving overall vehicle control and stability. The 5x115mm specification has been carefully calculated by Traxxas engineers to work in perfect harmony with the TRX-4 Long Arm Lift Kit, maintaining correct suspension angles through the entire range of articulation from fully compressed to fully extended. The red powder coating isn't merely cosmetic—it provides genuine protective benefits against corrosion, salt spray, mud abrasion, and UV exposure, ensuring these components maintain their appearance and structural integrity through seasons of UK trail running. When paired with other TRX-4 upgrades such as aluminium portal housings, chromoly driveshafts, and upgraded shock absorbers, these suspension links form part of a comprehensive suspension system capable of conquering the most challenging terrain whilst maintaining the precision and reliability that competitive crawlers require. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic hex tools that come with your TRX-4, making this an accessible upgrade for weekend bashers and serious competitors alike.
