Key Features
- 7075 Aluminium Construction — These rear lower arms are manufactured from premium 7075 aluminium alloy, which is recognised for its exceptional strength and durability whilst remaining lightweight. This material selection ensures the arms can withstand the stresses of aggressive driving, jumps, and high-speed corners without flexing or bending, maintaining consistent suspension geometry and handling characteristics throughout extended driving sessions.
- Precision Engineering — Fastrax engineers these components to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect compatibility with the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S platform. The precision construction means smooth articulation and reliable performance without the wear, binding, or play that can develop in lower-quality alternatives over time.
- Pair Configuration — This set includes both left and right rear lower arms, providing a complete suspension upgrade solution. Rather than replacing individual arms over time, you get matched components that work together to maintain balanced suspension performance and identical handling characteristics on both sides of your RC car.
- Direct OEM Replacement — These arms are designed as direct replacements for the original components fitted to the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S, ensuring straightforward installation without modification or adaptation. Simply remove the worn or damaged originals and install these upgrades with confidence in perfect fitment.
- Enhanced Rigidity — Aluminium construction provides substantially greater rigidity compared to plastic arms, reducing flex during cornering and under load. This translates to more responsive handling, better predictability, and improved overall control of your mini truck across all driving conditions and terrain types.
- Longevity and Reliability — The premium material and construction quality mean these components offer extended lifespan compared to standard plastic alternatives. Invest in parts that will serve reliably through many seasons of driving, delivering consistent performance and value for money.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Mini Maxx 7075 Aluminium Rear Lower Arm Set represents a substantial upgrade in suspension engineering for your brushless RC truck. The selection of 7075 aluminium demonstrates careful engineering, as this alloy offers remarkable strength characteristics whilst maintaining a lightweight profile essential for maintaining your Mini Maxx's performance envelope. The rear suspension is absolutely critical to how your RC car behaves during acceleration, braking, cornering, and jumping—it directly influences weight distribution, ground contact, and overall stability. By upgrading to these precision-engineered aluminium components, you're fundamentally improving how your Mini Maxx's suspension responds to inputs and terrain. The material rigidity ensures that suspension geometry remains consistent throughout your driving session, eliminating the gradual flex and deflection that occurs in plastic components under sustained use. This consistency is especially valuable when pushing your RC car hard, as it allows you to develop muscle memory and confidence in predictable handling characteristics. The engineering quality reflects Fastrax's reputation for producing parts that work seamlessly with Traxxas platforms, meaning installation is straightforward and compatibility is guaranteed. For UK-based RC enthusiasts building or upgrading their Mini Maxx BL-2S, these rear lower arms represent an investment in measurable performance and reliability improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas Mini Maxx models are compatible with these rear lower arms? — These arms are designed specifically for the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S, available in multiple colour options including Black, Orange, Green, and Blue. Before purchasing, confirm your Mini Maxx is a BL-2S (brushless 2S LiPo) model rather than the original nitro-powered Mini Maxx, as compatibility is specific to the BL-2S platform.
- Why should I upgrade from plastic to aluminium suspension arms? — Plastic suspension arms, whilst adequate for casual driving, gradually flex and wear under load, causing suspension geometry to shift and handling to become less predictable. Aluminium arms provide superior rigidity, meaning your suspension maintains consistent geometry throughout extended driving sessions. This results in better handling response, improved stability during high-speed runs, and more reliable performance. Additionally, aluminium components last significantly longer than plastic, representing better value over time.
- Are these easy to install? — Yes, these are direct replacement components designed as OEM alternatives for the original Mini Maxx arms. Installation requires only basic tools and mechanical knowledge—simply unbolt the original arms and install these upgrades in their place. If you're comfortable performing routine maintenance on your RC car, you can complete this upgrade in minutes.
- How do these compare to other aftermarket suspension arm options? — Fastrax is recognised for manufacturing quality upgrade parts specifically engineered for Traxxas platforms. These 7075 aluminium arms offer superior material quality and precision engineering compared to budget alternatives, whilst being more affordable than some premium racing brands. They represent the sweet spot between cost and performance for serious hobby drivers looking to upgrade their Mini Maxx's suspension without premium race-kit pricing.
- Will these arms improve my Mini Maxx's performance on jumps and rough terrain? — Yes, the improved rigidity of aluminium arms translates to more consistent suspension performance across all terrain types. The suspension maintains geometry during landings and bumpy sections, resulting in better shock absorption and more predictable handling. This is particularly noticeable on technical courses where suspension consistency directly impacts speed and control.
- What warranty or support does Fastrax offer on these components? — As an authorised Fastrax retailer, RC Model Shop can provide guidance on Fastrax's warranty terms. We recommend contacting us directly for detailed warranty information and any technical support questions regarding these suspension arms.
