GPM Racing 7075 Alloy Front Bulkhead Tie Bar 5mm Thickness for Traxxas 1/7 Unlimited Desert Racer-85076-4 (UDR008)

Precision machined front upper arm stabilizer

Engineered as a CNC-machined aluminium upgrade for the TRAXXAS UNLIMITED DESERT RACER, this 3-piece stabilizer reduces lateral compliance at the upper arm mounts to deliver more repeatable suspension geometry under load. The component is intended to interface with standard suspension hardware and improve front-end consistency.

Technical details: machined from 6061 T6 aluminium and increased to a 5mm section thickness for enhanced bending stiffness compared with thinner alternatives, finished via a 3D CNC process for accurate mating surfaces. The package includes stainless steel 3×10 round head screws for direct attachment to factory holes.

Assembly and verification: install to existing upper arm attachment points using the supplied screws and a suitable hex driver. After assembly, verify full suspension articulation and steering lock to confirm there is no interference at travel limits.

Application notes: by increasing local stiffness at the upper-arm mounting area, the stabilizer modifies the load path during cornering and rough terrain, helping to maintain predictable steering loads and repeatability across track sections. It is a tuning tool for handling consistency rather than a powertrain component.

Recommended for hobbyists seeking a precision, durable upgrade to upper arm mounting stiffness; inspect clearances and steering geometry after fitment.

What are the torque recommendations for the supplied screws?

Use a low to medium torque setting appropriate for small stainless steel screws to avoid thread or chassis damage; hand-tighten and then apply a small controlled turn with a torque-limited driver if available.

Are dimensional drawings available?

Dimensional data is not included in the product listing; measure the factory mounting points before fitting if precise CAD information is required for integration with other parts.

Can this stabilizer be anodised or treated?

The machined aluminium can accept common surface finishes such as anodising, but any post-processing should be performed by a qualified shop and checked for dimensional changes that could affect fitment.

Will the increased stiffness require suspension retuning?

Yes, altering upper-arm stiffness can change front-end behaviour; be prepared to adjust shock valving, spring rates or toe settings to regain the desired handling balance. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
