Overview
Lock down the front-end suspension geometry on your Traxxas X-Maxx with the Hot Racing CNC 6061 Aluminum Front Pin Mount Tie Bar. CNC-machined from solid 6061 aluminum in a rigid one-piece design, this tie bar installs between the skid plate and lower bulkhead to hold the front bulkhead and lower hinge pin assemblies firmly in place — eliminating front-end flex and pin walk under heavy cornering and landing loads.
The front of an 8S X-Maxx takes the brunt of every nose-first landing and front-end strike. This aluminum tie bar dramatically improves the stiffness and consistency of the front suspension geometry, giving you sharper steering response and more predictable handling on every run.
Key Features
- CNC-machined 6061 aluminum, one-piece construction
- Installs between skid plate and lower bulkhead
- Holds front bulkhead lower hinge pin assemblies in place
- Eliminates front-end flex and pin walk
- Direct bolt-on installation
Performance Benefits
- Sharper, more consistent steering response
- Eliminates front hinge pin walk under cornering loads
- Stiffer front-end geometry for predictable handling
- Reduces wear on bulkhead pin bores
- Long-lasting durability under 8S brushless punishment
Usage Notes
Apply removable thread-locker on screws threading into metal during installation. Inspect front hinge pins for wear during installation and replace if needed. Pair with the Hot Racing rear pin mount tie bar for a complete chassis stiffness upgrade.
