Key Features

• Machined Billet 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The carriers are precision-machined from premium grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which provides superior strength and rigidity compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring your suspension components remain perfectly aligned even during aggressive driving and competitive racing.
• Brilliant Anodised Orange Finish — Beyond purely aesthetic appeal, the anodised coating provides a protective layer against corrosion and wear, meaning your investment in these carriers will maintain its appearance and structural integrity over extended use on UK tracks and terrain.
• Included 5x11mm Rubber-Sealed Ball Bearings — Each carrier comes fitted with professional-grade 5x11mm rubber-sealed ball bearings that deliver smooth rotational performance with minimal friction, directly translating to improved handling precision and reduced wear on moving suspension components throughout the lifespan of your RC truck.
• Track-Bred Suspension Geometry Preservation — The design maintains the factory-engineered suspension geometry without compromise, meaning you gain the benefits of upgraded materials and strength whilst retaining the performance characteristics that make your Traxxas truck competitive on the track or in the garden.
• Left and Right Pair Configuration — Supplied as a complete left and right pair for rear axle installation, enabling you to perform a full suspension upgrade across both sides simultaneously for balanced handling and consistent performance characteristics.
• Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — As an official Traxxas part number, these carriers are manufactured to exacting OEM specifications and quality standards, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your specific Traxxas model without modification or adjustment.

Technical Performance

These Orange Aluminum Stub Axle Carriers represent a significant performance upgrade for 1/8 scale Traxxas RC trucks, particularly the Maxx Slash and WideMaxx platforms. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction is significantly stronger and more rigid than plastic alternatives, providing measurable improvements in suspension response and handling precision during cornering and acceleration. The included 5x11mm rubber-sealed ball bearings are engineered to reduce friction within the axle assembly, which means less energy is wasted in bearing resistance and more power is transmitted directly to the wheels, resulting in improved acceleration and overall drivetrain efficiency. The anodised finish is not merely decorative—it creates a durable surface layer that resists corrosion from moisture, salt, and aggressive driving conditions commonly encountered on UK outdoor tracks and terrain. The precision machining ensures tight tolerances throughout the carrier body, maintaining perfect geometric alignment between the stub axle and the suspension arms, which is critical for maintaining stable handling characteristics and predictable vehicle behaviour during high-speed running and competitive racing scenarios. These carriers are specifically designed as rear suspension components and come as both left and right units, allowing comprehensive suspension upgrades to the rear axle assembly of compatible Traxxas models.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these orange stub axle carriers fit my Traxxas Maxx Slash? — Yes, these carriers are specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck and are compatible with all colour variants of this model. They are also compatible with the Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck, making them a versatile upgrade for popular Traxxas platforms available in the UK market.
• What is 6061-T6 aluminium and why does it matter for RC trucks? — 6061-T6 is a premium-grade aluminium alloy that has been heat-treated to T6 specification, delivering an optimal balance of strength, rigidity, and machinability. This material is significantly stronger than standard plastic whilst remaining lightweight, making it ideal for suspension components on high-performance RC vehicles where durability and precision are essential.
• Do these carriers include the ball bearings? — Yes, each carrier comes pre-fitted with 5x11mm rubber-sealed ball bearings. These bearings are precision components that reduce friction within the stub axle assembly, enabling smooth rotation and efficient power delivery throughout your RC truck's suspension system.
• What is the difference between plastic and aluminium stub axle carriers? — Plastic carriers flex under load, affecting suspension geometry and handling consistency, particularly during aggressive driving or high-speed cornering. Aluminium carriers like these maintain rigid geometry under all driving conditions, providing superior handling precision, improved responsiveness, and extended component lifespan, making them essential for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers.
• Will upgrading to these carriers improve my truck's performance? — Yes, upgrading to precision-machined aluminium carriers delivers measurable improvements in suspension geometry maintenance, handling precision, and overall drivetrain efficiency. The included rubber-sealed bearings reduce friction, whilst the rigid aluminium construction ensures consistent suspension response, resulting in better cornering stability, improved acceleration feel, and more predictable vehicle behaviour.
• Are these carriers suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are genuine OEM upgrade parts that fit perfectly without modification, making them accessible to hobbyists at any experience level. However, they are particularly beneficial for intermediate and advanced RC drivers who will fully appreciate the improvements in handling precision and suspension consistency that upgraded aluminium components provide.
• What is anodising and why is the orange finish better than paint? — Anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer on the aluminium surface. Unlike paint, anodising becomes an integral part of the material itself, providing superior durability against moisture, salt, and wear whilst maintaining the vibrant orange colour throughout the lifespan of your RC truck.
