Overview
The Traxxas Blue Rear Upper & Lower Suspension Arms (L&R) TRX10830-BLUE are premium replacement suspension components designed to enhance the handling and appearance of your RC model. These rear suspension arms are engineered from Traxxas's toughest composite material, specifically formulated to withstand high loads and hard landings that are inevitable when pushing your RC car to its limits. Whether you're a dedicated basher, weekend racer, or serious RC enthusiast in the UK, these suspension arms represent a genuine upgrade that combines durability with custom styling options.
Available in a striking blue colour, these suspension arms are the perfect way to create a custom look whilst maintaining the performance integrity of your vehicle. Suspension arms are one of the most frequently replaced components in RC racing and bashing because they endure tremendous stress during cornering, jumps, and impacts. By choosing genuine Traxxas replacement arms, you're investing in proven engineering that has been tested in the most demanding conditions worldwide. These arms are specifically designed for the rear suspension of compatible Traxxas models, making them an essential spare part for any serious RC enthusiast who wants to keep their vehicle running at peak performance.
The bright blue colour finish not only provides excellent visibility on the track or bashing field but also allows you to customise the appearance of your RC model to reflect your personal style. RC car customisation through coloured spares has become increasingly popular amongst UK RC enthusiasts, and Traxxas's range of coloured suspension arms makes it easy to build a unique machine that stands out from the crowd. Whether you're replacing worn components after extended use or simply upgrading your vehicle's appearance, the Traxxas Blue Rear Upper & Lower Suspension Arms deliver reliability and style in equal measure.
Key Features
- Toughest Composite Material Construction — These suspension arms are formed from Traxxas's most durable composite material specifically designed to handle extreme loads and hard landings without failure, ensuring your RC car remains on the track rather than in the workshop.
- Rear Upper and Lower Arm Set — This package includes both the upper and lower suspension arms for both left and right sides of the rear suspension, providing a complete rear arm solution so you have everything needed for a full rear suspension replacement or upgrade.
- High-Impact Durability — The composite material formulation has been engineered to absorb impacts and resist cracking under the stress of aggressive driving, jumps, and collisions, extending the lifespan of your suspension components compared to standard plastic alternatives.
- Custom Colour Styling — The vibrant blue finish allows you to create a custom look for your RC model, with the colour visible from multiple angles and easily distinguishable from standard black or grey arms, making your vehicle instantly recognisable.
- Genuine Traxxas Engineering — As an official Traxxas spare part, these arms maintain the exact specifications and fitment standards of the original equipment, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance with your RC model.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Blue Rear Upper & Lower Suspension Arms represent the pinnacle of composite suspension technology for RC vehicles. Manufactured from Traxxas's proprietary composite blend, these arms are engineered to provide exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, critical for maintaining precise handling during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering. The material has been specifically formulated to resist the fatigue that comes from repeated impacts and landings, a key concern for RC enthusiasts who regularly bash their vehicles over rough terrain or launch them from jumps. The dimensional accuracy of these arms ensures they maintain proper suspension geometry, which is essential for predictable handling and consistent lap times in competitive racing environments. The blue colour applied to these arms provides excellent visibility during operation, making it easier to track your vehicle's orientation and movement during high-speed runs. These suspension arms are designed to work in conjunction with other Traxxas suspension components and are compatible with models that utilise the TRX10830 arm specification. The engineering focuses on providing reliable performance across a wide range of driving conditions, from high-speed bashing to technical off-road courses. The composite material has been proven in real-world testing by Traxxas engineers and competitive racers worldwide, delivering the durability and performance characteristics that RC enthusiasts expect from premium-grade suspension components. Whether you're experiencing arm damage from impacts or simply want to upgrade your suspension geometry, these replacement arms provide a direct bolt-in solution that restores or enhances your vehicle's handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC models are these suspension arms compatible with? — These Traxxas Blue Rear Upper & Lower Suspension Arms (TRX10830-BLUE) are compatible with various Traxxas models that utilise the TRX10830 suspension arm specification, including the Traxxas Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 (all colours) and the Traxxas Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR Short Course Truck (available in multiple colours). Always verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure compatibility with your RC vehicle.
- What makes these suspension arms better than standard plastic arms? — Traxxas's toughest composite material is specifically engineered to handle high loads and hard landings better than standard plastic alternatives. The material formulation resists cracking and fatigue, meaning these arms will last longer through aggressive bashing and competitive racing, ultimately saving you money on replacements over time.
- Are these arms difficult to install on my RC car? — Installation of suspension arms is generally straightforward for anyone with basic RC knowledge and standard tools. You'll typically need hex wrenches and nut drivers to remove the old arms and install the new ones. Complete installation guides are available from Traxxas for most models, and the process usually takes less than an hour. If you're unfamiliar with RC suspension work, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance or support to help you through the installation process.
- Why would I need to replace my suspension arms? — Suspension arms are subjected to extreme stress during RC vehicle operation, particularly when jumping, aggressive cornering, or bashing over rough terrain. Over time, impacts and fatigue can cause cracking or flexing in the arms, compromising your vehicle's handling and safety. Even small cracks in suspension arms can lead to unpredictable handling and potential catastrophic failure during operation. Regular replacement of worn suspension arms is essential maintenance for any serious RC enthusiast, and having a spare set of quality arms ensures you can keep your vehicle running reliably.
- Can I mix these blue arms with other coloured arms on my vehicle? — Absolutely! Many RC enthusiasts create custom colour schemes by mixing different coloured spares. The blue arms can be combined with other Traxxas coloured suspension components to create a unique aesthetic that matches your personal style. However, ensure that all arms you use are genuine Traxxas parts from the same TRX10830 series to guarantee proper fitment and performance.
- What tools do I need to install these suspension arms? — You'll need basic hex wrenches (typically 2.0 mm and 2.5 mm sizes) and an 8 mm nut driver to remove wheels and fasteners. A metric hex and nut driver set is recommended for faster, easier installation. Traxxas offers the optional 8712 7-Piece Metric Hex and Nut Driver Essentials Set, which includes all the tools needed to work on Traxxas models.
