Key Features
- 7075 Grade Aluminium Construction — These rear lower arms are manufactured from premium 7075 aluminium alloy, which is significantly stronger and more rigid than the standard plastic arms supplied with the Mini Maxx BL-2S, ensuring superior handling response and dramatically improved resistance to bending or breaking during impacts and aggressive cornering.
- Precise Engineering — Fastrax components are engineered to exacting tolerances, guaranteeing perfect fitment and alignment with your Mini Maxx chassis, which translates to predictable handling characteristics and consistent performance lap after lap.
- Pair Configuration — This product includes a complete pair of rear lower arms, meaning you receive both the left and right components needed for full rear suspension replacement, eliminating the need to purchase multiple sets.
- Direct Compatibility — These arms are specifically designed and tested to work seamlessly with the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S across all colour variants, including the Green, Blue, Black and Orange models, ensuring hassle-free installation without modification.
- Enhanced Durability — The rigidity of aluminium construction significantly reduces flex during high-speed driving and aggressive manoeuvres, which not only improves handling but also extends component lifespan compared to plastic alternatives that may crack or deform under stress.
- Performance Upgrade — Installing these aluminium arms is one of the most impactful suspension upgrades you can make to your Mini Maxx, offering noticeable improvements in steering response, cornering stability and overall chassis control.
- Part of Comprehensive Upgrade Range — Fastrax offers a complete ecosystem of 7075 aluminium components for the Mini Maxx, including front and rear upper arms, front lower arms, steering knuckles, hub carriers, bumpers, steering bars and the rear gearbox, allowing you to progressively upgrade your entire suspension system.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Mini Maxx 7075 Aluminium Rear Lower Arm Set represents a significant engineering upgrade that addresses one of the primary limitations of brushless RC vehicles at this scale. The 7075 aluminium alloy used in these components is the same material trusted in professional motorsport and aerospace applications, selected specifically for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to flexing under load. The Mini Maxx BL-2S is a brushless electric RC vehicle that demands responsive, predictable suspension geometry to fully utilise its available performance, and the stock plastic arms can introduce unwanted flex that compromises steering precision and cornering consistency. By upgrading to these rigid aluminium components, you eliminate suspension deflection, which allows the Mini Maxx's brushless motor and ESC to deliver their full potential to the ground without energy being wasted in component movement. The arms are precision-engineered to maintain exact geometry angles, which is critical for maintaining optimal suspension kinematics through compression and extension. These components work in concert with the Mini Maxx's independent suspension system to improve traction, reduce understeer and oversteer characteristics, and provide the driver with significantly improved feedback through the Spektrum radio system. Whether you're pushing your Mini Maxx to its limits at a local RC racing venue or bashing through challenging off-road terrain, the enhanced rigidity and durability of these aluminium arms will make an immediately noticeable difference in how the vehicle handles and performs.
