Traxxas Carriers, stub axle, rear, 6061-T6 aluminium, left & right (green-anodised) (for use with #9080 upgrade kit) TRX9065-GRN

Overview

Upgrade your Traxxas 4X4 RC vehicle with these premium green-anodised aluminium stub axle carriers, designed specifically for use with the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit (#9080). Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to enhance your crawler's performance or a serious basher wanting to improve your vehicle's durability and handling, these rear carriers deliver the ruggedness and precision engineering you need. The striking green-anodised finish not only transforms the appearance of your RC car, but the billet 6061-T6 aluminium construction provides genuine strength improvements where it matters most — at the suspension mounting points where stress concentrates during aggressive driving.

These stub axle carriers represent Traxxas's commitment to quality component engineering, offering left and right carriers in a single package. The precision-machined construction ensures perfect fitment and alignment, critical factors for maintaining consistent handling characteristics across both sides of your 4X4 vehicle. If you're running a Traxxas 4X4 with the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit installed, these carriers are an essential upgrade that combines form and function, delivering visible improvements in both appearance and performance that justify their place in any serious RC enthusiast's parts collection.

Available now at RC Model Shop, these carriers represent genuine Traxxas OEM components backed by the manufacturer's reputation for quality. The high-contrast laser-etched TRX® logo adds a professional touch to the vibrant anodised finish, making them as much about aesthetics as they are about engineering excellence.

Key Features

• Billet 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The carriers are machined from premium billet 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, a material renowned in aerospace and high-performance automotive applications for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making these components significantly stronger than plastic alternatives whilst remaining light enough to maintain optimal weight distribution across your RC vehicle.
• Green-Anodised Finish — The brilliantly anodised finish in vibrant green provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection, creating a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains its appearance through repeated use on the track, in the garden, or on challenging off-road terrain.
• Laser-Etched TRX® Logo — High-contrast laser etching of the iconic TRX® logo adds a professional, branded appearance to the carriers, making it clear you're running genuine Traxxas quality components that are recognised and respected throughout the RC community.
• Left and Right Pair Included — This package includes both left and right stub axle carriers, eliminating the need for separate purchases and ensuring perfectly matched suspension geometry across both sides of your vehicle for balanced handling and predictable control.
• Precision Engineering — These carriers are engineered to deliver improved control and handling characteristics, with precision machining ensuring consistent fitment and alignment that maintains the suspension geometry your Traxxas vehicle was designed for.
• Extreme HD Upgrade Kit Compatible — Specifically designed for use with the Traxxas Extreme HD Upgrade Kit (#9080), these carriers integrate seamlessly with this high-performance suspension package, maximising the benefits of your upgrade investment and ensuring perfect compatibility.
• Enhanced Ruggedness — The combination of premium aluminium construction and precision engineering creates carriers that withstand the stresses of aggressive driving, jumps, and rough terrain far better than standard plastic components, extending the life of your suspension system.

Technical Performance

These stub axle carriers represent the pinnacle of Traxxas's engineering approach to suspension component design. Machined from solid billet 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, they provide substantially greater rigidity and strength compared to polymer alternatives, which translates directly to improved handling consistency and durability during competitive racing or casual bashing. The 6061-T6 alloy is specifically chosen for its excellent machinability, allowing for the precision tolerances required in RC suspension components, whilst its natural corrosion resistance is further enhanced by the green anodised finish that protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation and wear. The carriers' robust construction means they can reliably handle the forces generated by large jumps, aggressive cornering, and rough terrain impacts without deflection or failure. For users of Traxxas 4X4 vehicles equipped with the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit (#9080), these carriers are engineered to work in perfect harmony with the upgraded suspension geometry, providing the strength and precision that the HD system demands. The left and right carriers are manufactured to identical specifications, ensuring that suspension characteristics remain balanced across both sides of the vehicle — a critical factor in achieving the responsive, predictable handling that serious RC enthusiasts demand from their 4X4 vehicles whether competing in UK RC competitions or enjoying recreational bashing sessions.

What You Need to Complete

• Traxxas Extreme HD Upgrade Kit (#9080) — required for installation, as these carriers are specifically designed for vehicles using this upgrade kit and will not fit standard suspension components
• Traxxas 4X4 RC vehicle compatible with the #9080 upgrade kit
• Standard RC tools for suspension adjustment (hex keys, screwdrivers)

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do these carriers fit my Traxxas 4X4? — These stub axle carriers are designed specifically for Traxxas 4X4 vehicles that have the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit (#9080) installed. They do not fit standard suspension components, so you must have the #9080 kit fitted to your vehicle before installing these carriers. Check your vehicle's upgrade status with your manual or contact RC Model Shop to verify compatibility.
• What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than plastic? — 6061-T6 aluminium offers substantially greater strength and rigidity compared to the plastic used in standard carriers, meaning less flex and deflection under load, which improves handling consistency and suspension response. Aluminium also resists impact damage more effectively and provides better long-term durability, making it an excellent investment for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliable performance over extended periods of use.
• Will these improve my vehicle's handling? — Yes, the precision-machined construction and superior rigidity of these aluminium carriers eliminate the flex present in plastic components, which translates to more consistent and responsive handling. By reducing suspension movement at the mounting points, these carriers help maintain the suspension geometry your vehicle was designed for, resulting in more predictable cornering and jumping characteristics.
• Do I need any special tools to install these? — Installation requires standard RC maintenance tools including hex keys and screwdrivers. The carriers are designed to bolt directly to your existing suspension components using existing hardware. If you're unfamiliar with RC suspension work, the Traxxas manual for your vehicle provides detailed installation instructions, and the team at RC Model Shop is always available to provide guidance.
• Will the green-anodised finish scratch easily? — The anodised finish is a hard surface coating that resists scratching better than paint, though it can be marked through heavy use on rocky terrain. The anodising also protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion, meaning even if minor scratches occur, the aluminium beneath won't rust. This durability is part of what makes the anodised finish such an effective long-term protection solution.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are genuine OEM Traxxas components manufactured to the company's exacting specifications. They carry the laser-etched TRX® logo and are sourced directly from authorised Traxxas dealers like RC Model Shop, guaranteeing authenticity and quality.
