Impact Performance Products True Track Rear SuspensionIntroduction
IPP has brought a new idea to the Maxx racing scene with their True Track Rear Suspension (TTRS). The kit comes complete with everything needed to install the suspension parts, right down to the pins and e-clips. It's a rather small assortment of parts, but provides more benefits that one might first notice. The biggest benefit is the fact it has a built-in toe-in setting of 1°. This is what the racer's will love about this upgrade. A little toe-in on the rear tires enhances stability and handling while running at the track. It's possible to dial in 1° of toe-in using the stock components, but with the TTRS it's a snap as you just simply install the parts. Another very nice benefit of the TTRS, is the fact that the rear turnbuckles are eliminated. This provides better access to the shocks, for when you need to change settings. It also reduces the weight of your Maxx as well. This is due to the removed turnbuckle, and the fact the TTRS also eliminates the need for one pivot ball on each suspension arm. However, despite all of this, the TTRS still allows the camber angle to be adjusted as needed. The TTRS arms give you more shock mounting positions than many aftermarket arms, which may help anyone out there who prefers to use 1/8 inch buggy shocks on their Maxx instead of the standard eight shock setup. However due to flexing on the part of the stock shock tower when using a four-shock setup, I would invest in an aluminum shock tower as well for that scenario. For the ultimate in durability, IPP also offers an 6061 T-6 aluminum version of the TTRS as well. Either choice, aluminum or plastic, will help improve the handling of your Maxx at the track, or even bashing in the backyard.

One of the more popular things done with a Maxx is to race it. Sure, the Maxx is an awesome basher, but there are a lot of guys out there who live to race it as well. At many tracks it even has it's own division class to race in. So it comes as no surprise to see companies that release a product geared specifically towards helping a Maxx finish first at the track.
