Overview
The Traxxas Suspension arms, Black, rear (left & right), heavy duty, 1deg toe angle (2) TRX9431 are precision-engineered replacement suspension components designed specifically for serious RC enthusiasts who demand durability and performance tuning capability. These rear suspension arms represent Traxxas's commitment to building components that can withstand the demands of high-speed RC driving, whether you're bashing on weekends or competing at the track. If you're looking for quality RC car parts in the UK that offer both reliability and the ability to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics, these heavy-duty suspension arms deliver on both fronts.
Built from Traxxas's toughest heavy-duty composite material, these suspension arms combine the strength needed for hard landings and aggressive driving with just the right amount of flex to resist breaking, even in cold weather conditions common across the UK. The 2-degree toe angle configuration allows you to tune the straight-line stability and top speed of your Drag Slash, giving you control over how your RC car performs on straightaways and during acceleration. This level of tuning capability is exactly what separates casual RC hobbyists from those serious about optimising their vehicle's performance.
Whether you're replacing worn suspension arms after intensive use or building a custom setup tailored to your driving style, these heavy-duty components are an essential upgrade for any RC enthusiast looking to maintain peak performance. The black colour gives your RC car a sleek, professional appearance whilst the heavy-duty construction ensures these arms will stand up to the demands of modern RC driving. Ready to run RC cars and competition-grade vehicles both benefit from these purpose-built suspension components.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Composite Material — These suspension arms are formed from Traxxas's toughest composite material specifically engineered to handle high loads and hard landings without breaking, ensuring longevity even during aggressive driving sessions.
- 2-Degree Toe Angle Configuration — The 2-degree toe angle allows you to tune the straight-line stability and top speed of your Drag Slash, providing a tuning advantage over stock 3-degree toe settings and enabling performance optimisation for different track conditions.
- Cold Weather Performance — The engineering of these arms includes the right amount of flex to resist breaking in cold weather, making them reliable for year-round RC driving across the UK climate.
- Matched Left and Right Pair — The package includes both left and right rear suspension arms, ensuring balanced handling and eliminating the need to purchase components separately.
- Professional Black Finish — The black colour provides a sleek, professional appearance that complements any RC car colour scheme whilst maintaining excellent visibility during high-speed operation.
- Direct Replacement Component — These are genuine Traxxas replacement parts engineered to OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance on compatible models.
Technical Performance
These suspension arms represent the culmination of Traxxas's engineering expertise in RC vehicle design. Constructed from composite material that balances rigidity with controlled flex, these heavy-duty components are built to withstand the punishment of high-performance RC driving. The 2-degree toe angle is specifically calibrated to enhance straight-line stability and maximise top speed compared to stock configurations, making these components particularly valuable for drivers who spend significant time on straightaways or racing disciplines that reward speed consistency. The material science behind these arms means they maintain performance integrity across temperature ranges typical of UK weather conditions, from warm summer driving to the cold winter months when material brittleness can be an issue with lesser-quality components. For anyone serious about RC performance—whether you're running a ready to run RC vehicle or a custom-built race platform—these suspension arms offer the engineering quality and tuning potential that separates good setups from competition-grade configurations. The inclusion of both left and right arms means you have everything needed for a complete suspension refresh, though compatibility should be verified with your specific Drag Slash variant before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these suspension arms compatible with? — These TRX9431 suspension arms are designed for the Traxxas Drag Slash and fit the rear position. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model number before purchasing replacement suspension components.
- What is the difference between 1-degree and 2-degree toe angle? — The toe angle affects how your RC car's wheels are aligned relative to the direction of travel. These arms feature a 2-degree toe angle compared to the stock 3-degree configuration on some Drag Slash models, providing enhanced straight-line stability and top speed performance for racing applications.
- Are these heavy-duty arms worth the upgrade? — Yes, if you're running your RC car aggressively or in cold weather conditions. The heavy-duty composite material resists breaking better than standard components, and the tuning potential of the 2-degree toe angle allows you to optimise your vehicle's performance characteristics for different driving conditions and track layouts.
- Will these suspension arms fit my rear or front suspension? — These are specifically designed for the rear position on your Drag Slash RC car. Front suspension arms are separate components, so ensure you order the correct components for your intended application.
- How often should I replace my suspension arms? — Suspension arms typically need replacement when they crack, bend, or when you want to change your vehicle's tuning characteristics by adjusting toe angles. Regular inspection after intensive driving sessions or hard crashes will help you determine if replacement is necessary.
- Can I use these on a ready to run RC car? — Yes, if your ready to run Drag Slash requires suspension arm replacement or if you want to upgrade to heavy-duty components for improved durability and performance tuning capability.
