Traxxas WideMaxx suspension kit

Traxxas have announced the soon release of the new WideMaxx suspension kit for the Maxx 1/10th scale monster truck. Available in six dynamic colours, the WideMaxx kit extends the track out by 20mm per side allowing drivers to bury the throttle in the turns, soak up even more extreme terrain, and come out the other side ready for more. The WideMaxx kit consists of extended versions of the Maxx’s extreme-duty cold-weather suspension arms and additionally, new springs are included for the rear of the truck to dial in the suspension settings, while the original rear springs move to the front for optimum balance and performance. Finally, a set of wider toe links for the front finish out the new widened stance.

Traxxas Maxx LED light kit

Coming from Traxxas is a new LED light kit for the Maxx 4WD monster truck. Built to handle brutal real-world punishment, this light kit is waterproof and built Traxxas Tough for maximum fun. The included high voltage amplifier packs the muscle to efficiently power the high-power light bar, while minimising losses from excessive current and heat. The tightly regulated output provides stable lighting performance, without flickering or dimming as the battery voltage changes. The smart brake lights work when brakes are applied in both forward and reverse directions. This eliminates the common and annoying problem with generic aftermarket systems that turn on the brake lights while reversing. Wiring is simple: Plug the main connector from the power amplifier into the power port on the Traxxas VXL-4s electronic speed control, and then plug the individual lighting modules into the power amplifier. Drivers can switch between three manual lighting modes on the power amplifier, such as high beam and low beam, or use the Traxxas Link app and #6511 Wireless Module to control individual lights remotely and create custom lighting configurations. The set includes the front and rear LED bars, replacement bumpers with LED cutouts, an 8-channel amplifier and mounting hardware.

RPM X-Maxx shock shaft guards orange

RPM have announced the release of select Traxxas X-Maxx option parts in orange colour. First up are the shock shaft guards for the popular Traxxas truck. Rocks, dirt and debris striking the shock shafts lead to dents, dings and burrs, which, in turn, lead to torn shock seals. Torn shock seals means leaky shocks and poor shock performance. The shock shaft guards shield the shock shaft from those deteriorating elements, prolonging the life of the shock shaft, which improves the long-term performance of the suspension and in turn, prolongs the time between seal replacement and shock rebuilds. The guards are a simple design, replacing stock shock spring cups with ones that have mounting holes for a thin but tough shield that rises up to the base of the shock body. The guard completely blocks debris from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which prevents debris from building inside the guard as well. As an added bonus, RPM increased the length of the tubular spring support of the spring cup by nearly 2mm. The added length helps prevent the spring from jumping off of the spring perch when the conditions are less than ideal. The guards are sold in pairs with two packs being needed to outfit a complete truck.

RPM X-Maxx roof skid rails

Coming from RPM and made for the popular Traxxas X-Maxx truck is a roof skid rail set. Using the rails will protect the precious body when the 8kg truck tumbles on its roof, ensuring the polycarbonate shell will hold up longer even when excessively used. The roof skid pails are a simple add-on that bolts to the roof of the truck using three screws for each rail. Full-length under body support plates are included to prevent the rails from getting yanked off once the driver flips the monster X-Maxx. The rails are tested to work with Traxxas #7711, #7711A, #7717G, #7711R and #7711X bodies only. They have not been tested nor are they guaranteed to work with any other Traxxas or aftermarket bodies.
