Traxxas X-Maxx heavy-duty suspension arms

Traxxas have introduced their new heavy-duty suspension arms for the X-Mass monster truck. Weighing nearly 20 pounds and packed with 30+ volts of extreme 8S power, the X-Maxx has redefined toughness for large-scale RC monster trucks. Now there’s a way to get even more brute strength out of the vehicle with new heavy-duty suspension arms made from Traxxas’ latest 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. Installation takes only a few minutes with no filing or modification required. The heavy-duty suspension arms work with existing Traxxas accessories, they come in six dynamic colours for full customisation and include upper and lower arms that are available separately.
