Key Features
- High-Quality Aluminium #7075 Construction — This component is manufactured from premium-grade aluminium #7075 alloy, one of the strongest aluminium formulations available in the RC aftermarket, which provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior durability compared to plastic OEM parts, ensuring your chassis maintains its geometry even under extreme driving stress.
- One-Piece Engineered Design — The single-piece construction methodology eliminates weak points that can occur in multi-part assemblies, delivering monolithic structural integrity that resists bending and maintains consistent suspension performance throughout extended use sessions.
- Professional Silver Anodised Finish — The silver anodising not only enhances the visual appeal of your RC model with a quality metallic appearance, but also provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion and oxidation, making it ideal for UK climates where moisture exposure is common.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — This universal tie bar pin mount is engineered to function as both a front and rear component, giving you the flexibility to upgrade your entire vehicle's suspension mounting system with a single, compatible part.
- Optimised for X-MAXX and XRT Platforms — Specifically designed and tested to fit perfectly with Traxxas X-MAXX and XRT 1/5 scale vehicles, ensuring precise fitment and immediate performance gains without any modification or adjustment required.
- Precision CNC Manufacture — Each component is produced using CNC machining processes, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy and consistency that results in perfect fitment and reliable performance across every unit.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON Aluminum #7075 Front Rear Tie Bar Pin Mount represents a significant engineering upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts. Manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminium #7075 alloy through precision CNC machining, this component delivers uncompromising structural performance that directly impacts the handling and longevity of your 1/5 scale X-MAXX or XRT. Aluminium #7075 is celebrated in engineering circles for its exceptional strength characteristics while maintaining a lightweight profile—critical for maintaining the performance envelope of high-powered RC buggies, crawlers, and scale vehicles. The one-piece design eliminates assembly points that could introduce flex or wear, ensuring that your suspension geometry remains consistent lap after lap, drive after drive. The professional silver anodised finish provides not merely aesthetic enhancement but genuine functional corrosion protection, which proves invaluable in the UK's frequently damp conditions where untreated aluminium can oxidise rapidly. Installation is compatible with the standard X-MAXX and XRT chassis architecture, making this an accessible upgrade for builders who understand their vehicle's suspension geometry. Whether you're piloting a drift car, running a scale crawler through rocky terrain, bashing a short course truck at high speed, or competing with your electric 1/5 scale vehicle, upgrading to this aluminium tie bar pin mount will immediately reduce flex and improve the consistency of your suspension response, translating to tighter corner entry, more predictable mid-corner behaviour, and improved exit traction.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this tie bar pin mount fit my Traxxas X-MAXX or XRT? — Yes, this VITAVON component is specifically engineered and optimised for Traxxas X-MAXX and XRT 1/5 scale vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment without any modification. Simply verify you have the correct model before ordering.
- What advantages does aluminium #7075 offer over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium #7075 is significantly stronger and more rigid than standard plastic OEM components, which means your suspension geometry will remain consistent even under extreme driving stress. This translates to better handling predictability, improved corner entry, and longer component lifespan. Additionally, the material is lighter than many alternative metals, helping maintain your vehicle's optimal power-to-weight ratio.
- Is this component suitable for beginners? — While the component itself is a straightforward upgrade installation, users should have basic RC maintenance knowledge to understand tie bar pin mount function and proper installation. If you're new to RC modifications, this is an excellent educational upgrade that demonstrates how aftermarket components improve performance.
- Will the silver anodised finish withstand outdoor use? — Absolutely. The anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for UK climates where moisture exposure is frequent. The protective oxide layer will maintain its appearance and integrity through regular outdoor use, though light cleaning after muddy or wet sessions is recommended to preserve the finish.
- What types of RC vehicles and driving styles benefit most from this upgrade? — This upgrade is beneficial for buggies, crawlers, drift cars, scale models, and short course trucks—essentially any 1/5 scale vehicle that demands consistent suspension performance. Aggressive drivers, racers, and bashers especially benefit, as the improved rigidity reduces flex-related handling inconsistencies during demanding driving conditions.
- Is special installation equipment required? — No special equipment is needed beyond standard RC maintenance tools (hex keys and screwdrivers). Installation follows Traxxas standard procedures for tie bar pin mounts, making this accessible to anyone with basic RC building experience.
