This aftermarket pair is built as a direct replacement for the suspension lower arms on 1/8 scale TRAXXAS X-Maxx chassis. The machined aluminium pieces are a stiffer alternative to stock plastic arms and are intended for hobbyists who prefer metal components while retaining standard fitment and geometry.
Fit and installation: supplied as matched front and rear arms to swap in place of the OEM pieces. Follow normal X-Maxx arm removal steps: take off wheel and hub parts, move any necessary pins or spacers from the original arms, and secure the replacements using the existing mounting hardware. Confirm hinge-pin alignment and steering geometry after assembly to avoid binding.
Tuning role and setup notes: these aluminium arms reduce flex relative to plastic arms, which can change shock response and toe settings. After fitting, recheck ride height, adjust shock preload or toe links as required, and test handling on a short run to fine tune balance. Watch for increased wear on hinge pins and ball studs and address any looseness promptly.
Durability and service: aluminium construction reduces flex but can transfer more load to suspension pins and mounts, so inspect mating hardware on a regular basis. These parts are intended for off-road RC use and should be fitted by someone comfortable with X-Maxx suspension layouts.
