Key Features
- Heavy-duty construction — These lower suspension arms utilise Traxxas' latest proprietary composite material, specifically engineered for extreme durability in high-load situations. This means they can withstand the punishment of hard landings, aggressive driving, and rough terrain without sacrificing performance.
- Proprietary composite material — Traxxas designed this composite specifically for high loads and hard landings with just the right amount of flex to resist breaking, even in cold weather conditions. This advanced material selection ensures reliable performance in any climate or driving condition you encounter.
- Cold weather resistant — The proprietary composite formula maintains its flexibility and strength even when temperatures drop, ensuring consistent handling and reliability throughout winter months and in challenging weather conditions across the UK.
- Versatile fitment options — These arms fit left or right, front or rear, providing complete flexibility in how you configure your WideMaxx suspension setup. This versatility maximises component compatibility and reduces the number of different parts you need to stock.
- Built for extreme punishment — Whether you're sending it at the skate park or launching off a ramp, these arms are engineered to handle the most aggressive driving styles and demanding conditions without failure or performance degradation.
- Complete WideMaxx system compatibility — These lower suspension arms must be used with the full WideMaxx suspension setup, ensuring that you benefit from the complete system design philosophy and engineering excellence that makes WideMaxx the market leader.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas WideMaxx lower suspension arms represent a significant advancement in RC suspension technology, incorporating a carefully developed proprietary composite material that balances strength with controlled flexibility. This engineering approach is critical because suspension arms must absorb impact forces during hard landings and aggressive driving whilst maintaining precise geometry for consistent handling. The composite material has been specifically formulated to provide the optimal amount of flex—enough to absorb energy and resist breaking under extreme loads, yet stiff enough to maintain suspension geometry and responsiveness. Traxxas engineers have tested these arms across every conceivable driving scenario, from smooth racetrack conditions to rough outdoor terrain, from hot summer conditions to cold winter weather. The result is a suspension arm design that maintains consistent performance across temperature extremes, humidity levels, and driving intensities. These arms work in concert with the wider WideMaxx suspension platform, which increases the track width and improves overall stability compared to standard suspension setups. The combination of the wider stance, improved suspension geometry, and durable arm construction creates a platform that delivers superior cornering grip, better jump landing control, and more predictable handling characteristics. Whether you're upgrading an existing WideMaxx monster truck or building a complete setup from scratch, these suspension arms are engineered to handle the demands of serious RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Traxxas WideMaxx lower suspension arms suitable for beginners? — These suspension arms are replacement components designed for upgrading existing WideMaxx setups rather than entry-level products. If you're new to RC and looking for a complete beginner-friendly solution, you should consider purchasing a full Ready to Run WideMaxx RC monster truck kit first, then upgrade components like these as you become more experienced.
- What vehicles are these suspension arms compatible with? — These lower suspension arms are specifically designed for use with Traxxas WideMaxx monster truck models, including the TRX89086-4-RNR (Rock N Roll), TRX89086-4-GRN (Green), and TRX89086-4-RED (Red) variants. They must be used with the complete #8995 WideMaxx suspension kit.
- Can I use these arms with other Traxxas models? — No, these suspension arms are specifically engineered for the WideMaxx suspension system and will not be compatible with other Traxxas platforms or suspension designs. Using these arms only with models they're designed for ensures proper fit, geometry, and performance.
- What makes the proprietary composite material special? — Traxxas engineers developed this specific composite formula to handle the extreme loads and impacts of serious RC driving whilst maintaining flexibility to resist breaking in cold weather. Most inferior composite materials become brittle in winter or lose rigidity in hot conditions, but Traxxas' proprietary formulation maintains consistent performance across all temperature ranges and driving scenarios.
- Do these suspension arms come fully assembled? — Yes, these are complete lower suspension arms ready to install directly into your WideMaxx suspension setup. You simply need to mount them into your WideMaxx suspension kit according to the assembly instructions.
- Why do the suspension arms need to have flex? — Completely rigid suspension arms would be prone to breaking when they absorb large impacts from jumps or hard landings. The carefully engineered flex in these arms allows them to absorb impact energy safely whilst quickly returning to their original shape, maintaining suspension geometry and handling consistency.
- Are these official Traxxas parts? — Yes, absolutely. RC Model Shop is an authorised Traxxas dealer, and these are 100% genuine Traxxas parts manufactured to exact specifications. Genuine parts guarantee compatibility, performance, and durability that clone or counterfeit parts cannot provide.
