Available from RC Model Shop, your trusted UK RC retailer, this component ensures your ready to run RC truck maintains factory performance standards and handling characteristics.
Key Features
- Pre-assembled with hollow ball joint — The suspension arm arrives fully assembled with a hollow ball joint already installed, which means you can install it directly onto your UDR without requiring additional assembly time or purchasing separate components. This hollow ball design reduces overall weight whilst maintaining the structural rigidity needed for aggressive driving.
- Satin black chrome-plated finish — The distinctive satin black chrome plating not only delivers a professional, high-quality appearance that complements the UDR's pro-scale aesthetics, but also provides superior protection against corrosion and weathering, extending the lifespan of the component and maintaining its appearance through repeated use.
- Genuine OEM Traxxas part — This is an authentic manufacturer part engineered to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and performance with your Traxxas UDR. Using genuine parts maintains your vehicle's warranty coverage and guarantees compatibility with your existing setup.
- Lower right position specific — This arm is precisely engineered for the lower right suspension position, ensuring correct geometry and handling characteristics. Using the correct arm position maintains the suspension geometry that Traxxas engineers designed for optimal performance.
- Compatible with multiple UDR variants — This suspension arm is compatible with both the Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck with Rigid Industries lighting and the Fox Racing variant, providing flexibility if you own or plan to upgrade to either model.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX8532X suspension arm is engineered from premium materials selected to withstand the extreme forces generated during high-speed desert racing and aggressive off-road driving. The lower suspension arm geometry directly influences your UDR's handling characteristics, including steering response, cornering stability, and overall ride quality. The pre-assembled hollow ball joint reduces unsprung weight at the wheel, which improves suspension responsiveness and helps the shocks react more quickly to terrain changes. The satin black chrome-plated finish provides a durable protective layer that resists oxidation and corrosion from exposure to moisture, salt, and harsh environmental conditions that UK drivers might encounter. The specific engineering of this lower right arm maintains the precise suspension geometry that Traxxas designed into the UDR platform, which is critical for predictable handling at speed and confidence during competitive driving or casual bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this Traxxas suspension arm fit my UDR Unlimited Desert Racer? — Yes, the TRX8532X lower right suspension arm is designed to fit both the Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck with Rigid Industries lighting (TRX85086-4-RGD1) and the Fox Racing variant (TRX85086-4-FOX1). This genuine OEM part maintains perfect fitment and handling characteristics.
- Is this suspension arm pre-assembled or do I need to assemble it? — The TRX8532X comes fully pre-assembled with the hollow ball joint already installed, so you can mount it directly to your UDR without any additional assembly steps. This saves time and ensures the ball joint is properly secured.
- Why would I need to replace my suspension arm? — Suspension arms can wear out or suffer damage from impacts, crashes, or extended use on rough terrain. A damaged or worn arm compromises handling precision and can cause unpredictable steering response. Replacing it with a genuine OEM part restores your UDR's performance to factory specifications.
- What is the difference between the hollow ball and a standard ball joint? — The hollow ball joint reduces unsprung weight at the wheel while maintaining structural strength, which improves suspension responsiveness and allows the shocks to react faster to terrain changes. This is especially beneficial for high-speed desert racing where rapid suspension articulation is critical.
- Does this part come with any warranty coverage? — As a genuine Traxxas OEM part purchased from an authorised retailer, this suspension arm is covered by Traxxas's standard warranty.
