GPM Racing Stainless Steel Front+Rear Bulkhead Tie Bar for Traxxas 1/10 MAXX (TXMS089S)

Engineered front and rear bulkhead tie bars for Traxxas MAXX

This stainless steel tie bar set is a compact aftermarket upgrade for the TRAXXAS MAXX Monster Truck chassis, engineered to link front and rear bulkheads with minimal added complexity. The kit comprises 2 pcs tie bars that replace or complement original parts to decrease flex between bulkheads and increase chassis rigidity during high stress conditions.

Technical note on material: stainless steel was selected for its corrosion resistance and consistent elastic response compared with polymer parts, maintaining bulkhead alignment during impacts and repeated loading cycles. The reduced chassis compliance improves repeatability for suspension and steering setups, beneficial for precision tuning.

Installation guidance for technicians: components mount at the designated front and rear bulkhead points using the existing screw locations. Expect largely direct-fit installation on standard MAXX configurations; verify screw engagement depth and check clearance around suspension pivots and the driveline before torqueing fasteners to spec.

This item is compatible with

• TRAXXAS-1/10 MAXX MONSTER TRUCK-89076-4
• MAXX W/WIDEMAXX MONSTER TRUCK-89086-4

What hardware is included and required?

The package includes two machined stainless tie bars. Standard bulkhead screws are typically reused but confirm thread engagement and replace with correct length fasteners if necessary.

How does stainless steel affect dynamic stiffness?

Stainless steel increases cross-structure stiffness and reduces local flexing at the bulkheads, which lowers transient chassis deformation and yields more predictable suspension behaviour under load.

Are there setup considerations after fitment?

After installation confirm no interference with suspension travel or driveshafts, verify screw torque and retest handling; you may need minor shock or toe adjustments to exploit the stiffer platform. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
