Precision Aluminium Upgrade for the Xray RX8

The Arrowmax AM-RX8-342030 upper arm holder is a direct aluminium replacement aimed at improving durability on the Xray RX8. Produced from 7075 T6 aluminium, the unit increases stiffness versus stock parts and helps maintain predictable handling under load.

Advantages of 7075 T6 Aluminium

RC enthusiasts fit aluminium pieces for a strong yet light alternative to plastic. The 7075 T6 grade resists bending and keeps mount points true, which supports consistent suspension behaviour during competitive runs or demanding practice sessions.

Key Specifications and Advantages

  • Material: 7075 T6 aluminium for robust rigidity
  • Design: Lightweight machining to reduce overall mass
  • Compatibility: Specifically made for Xray RX8 chassis
  • Performance: Firmer mounts that sharpen handling and stability

Does this require chassis modification to install?

No chassis surgery is typically required; the holder uses the RX8 mounting points so it should fit straightforwardly on factory layouts.

Will aluminium increase wear on mating parts?

Aluminium is harder than many plastics, so inspect contact areas and fasteners periodically, but normal maintenance prevents accelerated wear.

Is this suitable for both track and club racing?

Yes, the increased stiffness benefits both track precision and club-level durability, making it a versatile upgrade for various styles of driving.

How should I care for the part after a hit?

Check for visible bends, cracks or loose fasteners after impacts and replace the part if structural damage is detected to preserve safe handling.

Can I tune handling with this part alone?

It affects front end stiffness, so combined setup changes such as roll center, dampers and tyre choice will help you dial in handling rather than relying on this part alone.
