- Blue Anodised Finish — The striking blue anodised coating serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, giving your Mini Slash a professional appearance whilst simultaneously providing corrosion resistance and durability against the elements, ensuring these arms maintain their appearance and performance through extended use.
- Mini Slash Specific Design — These arms are engineered to fit the Traxxas Mini Slash perfectly, maintaining precise suspension geometry and alignment, which means you can install them with confidence knowing they'll work seamlessly with your existing chassis and suspension components without modification or adjustment issues.
- Enhanced Durability — Aluminium's superior strength compared to plastic alternatives means these rear lower arms are far less likely to bend, crack, or break during intense driving sessions, bashing, or racing, providing reliable performance whether you're driving on tarmac, grass, or dirt surfaces.
- Direct Replacement Option — If your original suspension components have worn out, broken, or simply need upgrading for better performance, these Fastrax arms provide a direct replacement that requires no modification to your Mini Slash chassis or suspension system.
