Description
Upgrade the suspension mounting hardware of your monster truck with this premium pin set from Traxxas — engineered for strength, precision, and durability.
Key Features
-
Made from hardened steel, this pin set replaces the factory pins with stronger material to better resist bending or breaking under heavy loads.
-
Designed for either front or rear corner of compatible vehicles: the set includes one 4 × 85 mm pin, three 4 × 47 mm pins, and two 4 × 33 mm pins.
-
Direct‑replacement design, enabling straightforward installation without major modification.
Benefits
-
Improved durability: With the heavier‑duty steel construction, these pins can better withstand the flex, jumps, impacts and terrain roughness typically encountered in spirited RC use.
-
Better performance under stress: Reduces the risk of suspension pins bending or shifting during hard landings or high‑torque runs — which helps maintain alignment, reduce unwanted flex, and improve handling consistency.
-
Cost‑effective upgrade: Rather than replacing major suspension arms or assemblies, upgrading the pins protects your investment and maintains vehicle integrity for less.
Ideal Use & Audience
-
Perfect for hobbyists driving 1/8‑scale monster trucks such as the Traxxas X‑Maxx or Traxxas XRT (and other compatible models) who push their vehicles hard—jumps, rough terrain, rollovers, big hits.
-
Great for anyone who has experienced suspension pin failures, slop, or wants to pre‑emptively strengthen their build for high‑stress environments.
Installation Tips
-
Remove the existing suspension arm pins at the specified corner (front or rear) and install the new hardened steel pins in the exact same locations.
-
Ensure pin lengths correspond to the original parts (85 mm, 47 mm, 33 mm) and orient them as per the exploded view in the manual.
-
After installation, check that the arms mount and pivot smoothly, no binding, and that retaining hardware is torqued properly.
-
Periodically inspect the pins and surrounding components for wear or play to catch any issues early.
Why You’ll Like It

With these pins, you’ll gain confidence that your arms are mounted securely and can withstand the abuse of aggressive driving. For a reasonably low cost, you get a meaningful upgrade in durability and reliability.
