Overview
Add critical chassis rigidity AND open up valuable electronics mounting real estate with the Hot Racing 6061-T6 Aluminum Front & Rear Shock Tower with Upper Chassis Brace for the Traxxas Mini Maxx. This complete three-piece structural kit replaces the front and rear stock shock towers and adds an upper chassis brace that ties the front and rear of the chassis together for dramatically improved torsional rigidity.
Beyond the structural benefits, the upper chassis brace also creates a clean, flat mounting surface for upgraded ESCs, receivers, and other electronics — making this a must-have upgrade for any Mini Maxx owner converting to brushless power or running larger aftermarket components.
