FAQ

Which RC trucks does the Traxxas 8976 wheelie bar fit? Traxxas lists part 8976 for the Maxx and WideMaxx monster truck platforms, including models 89076-4 and 89086-4. Check your vehicle's exploded parts diagram to confirm fitment.

What does a wheelie bar do on an RC monster truck? A wheelie bar supports the rear of the vehicle during acceleration when the front wheels lift. This helps reduce uncontrolled backward rotation while allowing the truck to perform wheelies.

Is this the black Traxxas wheelie bar? Yes. Part 8976 is the black version. Other colours use different part numbers, including 8976X for blue, 8976G for green, 8976T for orange and 8976R for red.

Does this wheelie bar fit the Traxxas X-Maxx? The X-Maxx uses a different wheelie bar assembly, part 7776. Part 8976 is intended for the Maxx platform and should not be treated as a universal X-Maxx replacement.

Are replacement wheelie bar wheels available? Yes. Traxxas part 7775 provides replacement wheelie bar wheels, axles and bushings for compatible assemblies. Confirm which components are needed before ordering.
