This aluminium rear chassis link protector is supplied as an aftermarket upgrade to reinforce and shield the rear linkage area of Traxxas MAXX models. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the part provides a practical balance of tensile strength and controlled mass, and it is shipped with the mounting hardware required for installation.
Included in the kit are: Protector - 1 pcs, Stainless steel round head screw 4x30 - 2 pcs. Positioned over the rear chassis link, the protector reduces direct impact and abrasion from trail debris or strikes encountered during aggressive driving.
Installation guidance: with basic tools remove any existing guard or clear the mounting faces, align the protector over the rear link area and secure using the supplied screws. No extra components are normally required, but verify thread engagement and avoid over-torquing in composite frames to maintain secure attachment.
Application note: this component is intended as a structural protection item rather than a suspension tuning device; by protecting link fasteners and geometry it helps maintain consistent handling after impacts and supports durability-focused setups.
Recommended where rear link damage recurs; pair fitting with routine inspection of fasteners and adjacent chassis areas after demanding runs.
