At 2.5 millimetres in diameter and 12 millimetres in length, these pins are manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure they fit snugly within the axle pin holes of compatible models without excessive play or looseness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas RC models use these 2.5x12mm axle pins? — The TRX4955 pins are compatible with several popular Traxxas vehicles including the UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck (both Rigid Industries and Fox Racing variants), the WideMaxx Monster Truck (available in Red, Rock N Roll, and Green colour options), and the X-Monster Chassis. If you own any of these ready to run RC models, these pins are the correct replacement component for your vehicle.
- How often should I replace my axle pins? — Axle pins typically require replacement when they become visibly worn, bent, or damaged during driving. Some enthusiasts replace them during regular maintenance intervals, while others only do so when necessary. Signs that replacement is needed include loose axles that rattle or move excessively, or if pins have been lost during driving sessions. Having a spare set like this TRX4955 pack ensures you can address the issue immediately without waiting for delivery.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX4955 pins are genuine Traxxas spare parts manufactured to OEM specifications. Choosing authentic components ensures compatibility and maintains the performance characteristics of your ready to run RC model. Counterfeit or non-genuine pins may not fit correctly and could damage your vehicle's drivetrain.
- Why do I need four pins in one pack? — Most Traxxas RC models use one axle pin at each wheel, meaning a typical vehicle requires four pins total (one per axle). This pack provides exactly that quantity, whether you're doing a complete axle pin replacement or rebuilding your vehicle from spare parts. The extra pins included ensure you have immediate replacements available without needing to order again.
- Can I use these pins on other RC brands? — These pins are specifically engineered for Traxxas models and the 2.5x12mm dimensions are specific to Traxxas axle assemblies. Other RC manufacturers may use different pin sizes and specifications, so compatibility cannot be guaranteed outside of the listed Traxxas models. Always verify compatibility before purchase.
- How do I install these axle pins? — Installation is straightforward: simply insert the 2.5x12mm pin through the axle assembly hole until fully seated. The pin should sit flush with the outer surface of the axle housing. If the pin is difficult to insert or doesn't sit properly, stop and verify that you have the correct part number for your specific model, as forcing an incorrect pin could damage the axle assembly.
