Traxxas Revo Sway Bar Mounts and Collars Front and Rear TRX9597

Overview

The Traxxas Mounts, sway bar / collars (front and rear) TRX9597 are essential suspension tuning components designed for the legendary Traxxas Revo monster truck. These precision-engineered mounts and collars form a critical part of the vehicle's advanced suspension system, allowing drivers to fine-tune their RC car's handling characteristics across a wide variety of track conditions. Whether you're a competitive racer looking to optimise your setup for track performance, or an enthusiast keen to maximise your RC monster truck's potential, these genuine Traxxas parts are engineered to deliver consistent, predictable suspension geometry and ride height control.

As an authorised Traxxas dealer, RC Model Shop supplies only genuine Traxxas components that meet factory specifications. The Revo's suspension system is renowned for its unique independent tuning capabilities, and these mounts and collars work in harmony with the truck's innovative rocker arm geometry to provide progressive suspension rates that adapt to compression. The sway bar collars ensure consistent anti-roll bar positioning, while the mounts maintain precise alignment under load, giving you the control and confidence needed for serious RC racing in the UK and beyond.

For anyone serious about RC car performance, understanding how suspension components like these sway bar mounts and collars contribute to overall handling is essential. The Traxxas Revo's suspension geometry changes how shocks feel as they compress, creating a progressive rate that gets stiffer as suspension travel increases. These mounts and collars are instrumental in maintaining that precise geometry, making them indispensable for drivers who want to extract maximum performance from their ready to run RC monster truck or custom racing setup.

Key Features

• Front and Rear Sway Bar Mounts — These collars provide secure positioning for the anti-roll bar assembly on both axles, ensuring consistent geometry throughout suspension travel and preventing unwanted movement that could affect handling precision and responsiveness during cornering.
• Precision Engineered for Revo Platform — Specifically designed for the Traxxas Revo's unique suspension architecture, these mounts work in conjunction with the truck's innovative rocker arm system to maintain progressive suspension rates and optimal suspension geometry across all track conditions.
• Progressive Suspension Rate Support — By maintaining proper sway bar geometry, these collars help preserve the Revo's signature progressive suspension characteristics, which stiffen as the suspension compresses, delivering quick response in technical sections whilst maintaining compliance on rough terrain.
• Fine Tuning Capability — Combined with other suspension adjustments including pushrod locations, shock pre-load collars, and rocker selection, these mounts enable drivers to dial in their suspension setup for specific track surfaces ranging from smooth high-bite tracks to extremely rough terrain with jumps and obstacles.
• Genuine Traxxas Quality — Factory OEM parts manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring compatibility, durability, and consistent performance across all Revo variants and racing conditions throughout the UK and internationally.
• Essential for Competitive Racing — Whether you're tuning for P1, P2, P3, or long travel rockers, proper sway bar mounting is critical for translating your suspension geometry choices into predictable, responsive handling characteristics on the track.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Revo suspension system represents one of the most sophisticated independent tuning platforms available in the monster truck category, and the sway bar mounts and collars (TRX9597) are foundational components in this system. The Revo's rocker arms feature unique geometries designed specifically to create progressive rates that increase as the suspension compresses, meaning the suspension gets stiffer with travel. This geometry is engineered into 90mm travel rockers and provides exceptional handling across diverse track surfaces. The sway bar mounts maintain anti-roll bar positioning and prevent lateral movement, which is critical for preserving the precise suspension geometry that creates these progressive rates. The collars secure the sway bar at both front and rear positions, ensuring consistent anti-roll characteristics during acceleration, braking, and cornering. With proper setup using these mounts alongside appropriate rocker selection (standard P1 for rough terrain, P2 for well-rounded track performance, P3 for smooth high-bite surfaces, or long travel rockers for extreme rough conditions), drivers can achieve ride heights optimised by adjusting pushrod locations and shock pre-load collars. The suspension geometry affects everything from how lower suspension arms align with track surfaces to the progressive rate curve that determines how shock dampers respond throughout their compression stroke. For serious track racers, these mounts enable the fine-tuned suspension adjustments recommended in professional setup guides, including shock fluid viscosity selection (typically 50wt for P2 rockers with stock pistons, 60wt for P1 rockers, or 40wt for P3 rockers) and careful ride height alignment where lower arms sit level with the surface for optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the Traxxas TRX9597 sway bar mounts compatible with my Revo monster truck? — Yes, these genuine Traxxas parts are designed specifically for Revo models and are essential components of the truck's advanced suspension system. They work with the Revo's innovative rocker arm geometry to maintain precise suspension alignment and contribute to the progressive rates that make the Revo such a capable and tuneable platform for both bashing and competitive racing.
• How do sway bar mounts affect my RC truck's handling? — Sway bar mounts and collars maintain the positioning of your anti-roll bar assembly, which controls how much the chassis leans during cornering. Proper mounting ensures consistent suspension geometry and prevents unwanted movement that would degrade handling precision. Combined with rocker selection and other suspension adjustments, these mounts help you achieve predictable, responsive handling characteristics suited to your specific track conditions.
• Why should I upgrade or replace my sway bar mounts? — Over time, sway bar mounts can wear or become damaged from track use, leading to loose geometry and unpredictable handling. Worn mounts prevent you from achieving precise suspension setups. Replacing them with genuine Traxxas parts restores the precise geometry needed for optimal performance and ensures you can make effective suspension adjustments with confidence.
• Do I need special tools to install these mounts? — Standard RC hobby tools including hex drivers and wrenches are typically required for installation. Detailed installation instructions are provided with the parts, and the Traxxas Revo Owner's Manual contains comprehensive guidance. If you're unfamiliar with suspension work, our team at RC Model Shop can advise on installation and setup.
• Can I use these mounts for rock crawling and bashing as well as track racing? — Absolutely. These mounts work across all Revo applications including competitive track racing, off-road bashing on rough terrain, and extreme rock crawling. They're essential for maintaining proper suspension geometry regardless of your driving style, though you may pair them with different rocker sets (long travel rockers for extreme bashing, P1 for rough terrain, P2 for general track use) depending on your specific conditions.
• How do sway bar collars relate to ride height adjustment? — Whilst ride height is primarily adjusted using pushrod locations (inner, middle, or outer holes on suspension arms) and shock pre-load collars, the sway bar mounts maintain consistent anti-roll geometry across different ride height settings. Proper sway bar mounting ensures that when you adjust ride height via pushrod position or pre-load, your suspension geometry remains true and predictable.
