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.
