TRAXXAS MAXX Rear Chassis Link Shield 6061-T6 - TXMS016R by GPM  [TXMS016R]

Rear chassis link shield

This aluminium rear chassis link protector is an aftermarket upgrade intended to protect and stiffen the rear linkage area on Traxxas MAXX models. The component is machined from 6061-T6 aluminium to offer a practical balance of lightness and strength, and it ships with the mounting hardware required for installation.

Included in the kit are: Protector - 1 pcs, Stainless steel round head screw 4x30 - 2 pcs. The protector sits over the rear chassis link to help absorb impacts and prevent abrasion from rocks and debris encountered during aggressive off-road use.

Fitting the protector is a routine task for any modeller with basic tools: clear the mounting points or remove the stock guard, align the protector with the rear link area, and fasten using the supplied screws. No extra parts are generally needed, but verify thread size and engagement to avoid damage to composite frames.

Practical effect: the protector acts as a passive structural safeguard rather than a suspension tune; by keeping link geometry and fasteners intact it reduces the chance of unexpected handling changes after strikes.

Install this protector where rear link impacts are frequent, and include it in a maintenance routine checking bolts and nearby chassis mounts after heavy runs.
