CT Race Worx Can-Am Maverick X3 72" Billet Proof Lower Radius Rods
The CT Race Worx Maverick X3 72" Billet Proof Lower Radius Rods represent the pinnacle of high-clearance suspension engineering for the 72-inch wide Maverick X3. Sold as a pair, these rods are built specifically for riders who demand the strongest aluminum linkage available, providing over an inch of additional ground clearance compared to stock components. Each rod is precision-machined in the USA from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, an alloy renowned for being nearly twice as strong as industry-standard 6061. Unlike standard aluminum, 7075-T6 offers superior impact "memory," allowing it to deflect up to 10% during a massive hit and spring back to its original shape—a characteristic that makes it the material of choice for aircraft wings and Trophy Truck suspension links.
The engineering focus of these rods is to eliminate the vulnerabilities found in factory and inferior aftermarket designs. The high-stress area surrounding the uniballs is reinforced to handle the tremendous pull forces experienced during harsh bottom-outs or high-speed G-loads. By using solid billet 7075-T6 instead of threaded links, CT Race Worx prevents threads from stretching, compressing, or pulling out over time, ensuring the joints remain tight and play-free. Each rod is equipped with top-tier FK 5/8" WSSX uniballs, the same series relied upon by professional Trophy Truck teams, and finished with in-house machined 303 stainless steel misalignment spacers for maximum corrosion resistance.
Here are some basic strength differences between 6061 and 7075 aluminum and how much stronger the lower radius rods are being made from 7075.

- Strength to Weight Ratio: 115 kN-m/kg
7075-T6 Properties
- Tensile Strength – 83,000 psi
- Yield Point – 74,000 psi
- Brinell Hardness – 150
- Elongation at Break – 10%
- Shear Strength – 48,000 psi
- Strength to Weight Ratio: 196 kN-m/kg
Features
- Aerospace 7075-T6 Construction: Nearly double the strength of 6061 with superior yield and tensile properties to prevent bending or stretching
