Traxxas is a recognised leader in the RC hobby industry, and their suspension components are engineered to withstand the rigours of intense off-road driving, high-speed racing, and hard landings.
These front suspension arms are formed from Traxxas's toughest composite material, specifically engineered to handle extreme loads and demanding driving conditions. The bright blue colour provides an eye-catching custom look that makes your RC car UK stand out on the track or trail. Available in several vibrant colours, suspension arms are a fantastic way to create a personalised, custom appearance for your RC vehicle whilst maintaining the performance and reliability Traxxas is known for.

Suspension arms are one of the most critical components in any RC car's chassis, directly affecting handling, stability, and overall performance. When you're pushing your RC vehicle to its limits, you need components you can trust. These composite arms distribute forces evenly during aggressive cornering, jumps, and high-speed manoeuvres, ensuring your vehicle remains composed and responsive. The tough composite construction means these arms can absorb the punishment of hard landings and rough terrain without breaking or bending, keeping your RC ready to run again and again.
Key Features
- Toughest Composite Material Construction — These suspension arms are manufactured from Traxxas's most durable composite material, engineered specifically for high-load applications and hard landings. This means the arms can withstand the intense forces generated during aggressive driving, jumps, and crashes without snapping or becoming damaged, providing years of reliable service for your RC vehicle.
- Bright Blue Colour for Custom Aesthetics — The vibrant blue finish allows you to create a unique, custom look for your RC car. These arms are available in several bright colours, so whether you prefer blue, red, orange, or other shades, you can match your suspension arms to your personal style and vehicle theme for a truly personalised RC experience.
- Front Upper and Lower Arm Set (Left & Right) — This package includes both the upper and lower suspension arms for the front of your RC vehicle, in both left and right configurations. This means you have everything needed to completely refresh your front suspension system, ensuring balanced handling and consistent performance across both sides of your vehicle.
- Compatible with Multiple Traxxas Models — These arms are designed to fit the Traxxas Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 (available in red, blue, and grey variants) and the Traxxas Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR short course truck (available in pink, green, yellow, and orange models). This versatility makes them an excellent spare part choice for Traxxas enthusiasts with multiple vehicles.
- Ideal Replacement and Upgrade Component — Suspension arms experience significant wear during regular use and are often among the first components to break during crashes. Having quality replacement arms on hand ensures your RC car UK can be quickly repaired and returned to action, minimising downtime and maximising your driving enjoyment.
- High-Performance Engineering — Traxxas designs every component with performance in mind. These suspension arms are engineered to maintain precise geometry and alignment, which is critical for accurate steering response, consistent cornering behaviour, and predictable handling characteristics that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Blue Front Upper & Lower Suspension Arms represent the pinnacle of composite suspension engineering for RC vehicles. Manufactured from Traxxas's toughest composite material, these arms are specifically engineered to manage the extreme loads, impacts, and stresses encountered during high-performance RC driving. The composite construction offers several advantages over alternative materials: it provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, absorbs vibration and shock efficiently, and resists the kind of catastrophic failure that can occur with cheaper, brittle materials. During aggressive cornering manoeuvres, the arms maintain precise suspension geometry, which is essential for consistent and predictable handling. When your RC car UK launches off a jump or lands hard after a trick, these composite arms flex and absorb the impact energy without permanent deformation, protecting your vehicle's overall structure and drivetrain. The engineering that goes into Traxxas suspension components ensures that geometry remains consistent across multiple hard landings and intense driving sessions, meaning your vehicle handles as well on your hundredth run as it does on your first. The bright blue finish is more than just aesthetic appeal—it makes inspection for damage easier, and the vibrant colour adds visual interest to your custom RC setup. Whether you're running your Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 or Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR short course truck, these front suspension arms are precision-engineered to work seamlessly with your vehicle's suspension system, steering components, and overall chassis geometry. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance, these suspension arms deliver exactly what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these suspension arms suitable for my Traxxas RC car? — These front upper and lower suspension arms are specifically compatible with the Traxxas Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 (available in red, blue, and grey variants) and the Traxxas Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR short course truck models (available in pink, green, yellow, and orange). Before purchasing, confirm that your Traxxas model matches one of these compatible vehicles. These parts are listed as suspension spares, making them ideal replacement components when your original arms wear out or break.
- Why would I need to replace my suspension arms? — Suspension arms are among the most stressed components on any RC vehicle. During regular driving, they experience constant flexing, and during impacts, jumps, and crashes, they absorb enormous forces. Over time, this wear can cause arms to crack, bend, or break completely. Having replacement arms on hand means you can quickly repair your RC car UK and get back to driving without extended downtime. Additionally, many RC enthusiasts replace suspension arms as an upgrade to change their vehicle's appearance with new colours.
- What is the benefit of the composite material construction? — Traxxas's toughest composite material offers several key advantages. It provides exceptional strength for handling high loads and hard landings, it maintains dimensional stability during extreme use, and it resists the kind of brittle failure that cheaper plastic alternatives suffer from. Composite construction also absorbs vibration and shock more effectively than some alternative materials, which can improve overall handling and ride quality. The material is proven through thousands of RC vehicles driven by competitors and enthusiasts worldwide.
- Can I use these arms to customise the appearance of my RC vehicle? — Absolutely. The bright blue colour allows you to create a custom look for your RC car. Because Traxxas offers these suspension arms in several vibrant colours—including red, orange, and blue—you can mix and match colours to create a unique aesthetic that matches your personal style or coordinates with other custom upgrades on your vehicle. This is a popular way for RC enthusiasts to personalise their machines.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes. These suspension arms are manufactured by Traxxas and meet all Traxxas quality and performance standards. The part number TRX10831-BLUE is the official Traxxas designation for these blue front suspension arms. When you purchase from authorised retailers like RC Model Shop, you're guaranteed to receive genuine Traxxas components with full compatibility and performance assurance.
- Do I need any special tools to install these suspension arms? — Installation of suspension arms typically requires basic RC tools and mechanical knowledge. You'll need tools to remove fasteners and disconnect the old arms from your vehicle's chassis. Detailed installation instructions are typically available from Traxxas for your specific vehicle model. If you're not confident in performing this work yourself, many RC hobby shops in the UK offer installation services, or you can seek assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts in your local community.
