If you're searching for a genuine upgrade to enhance your TRX-4's drivability and appearance, the Fastrax TRX-4 Brass Hex Wheel Hubs V2 are worthy of consideration.
Key Features
- Brass Construction — The hubs are manufactured from brass material, which provides superior weight and durability characteristics compared to standard plastic alternatives, contributing to improved handling and longevity in demanding off-road conditions.
- +3mm Offset Specification — The +3mm offset positions the wheels further outward from the chassis centreline, effectively widening the vehicle's track width and enhancing stability during cornering and technical climbing sections on rock crawling courses.
- V2 Second Generation Design — This is the refined second iteration of the Fastrax hex hub design, incorporating improvements and refinements based on user feedback and performance testing in the RC community.
- Four-Pack Quantity — The set includes four complete hubs, providing everything required to upgrade all four corners of your Traxxas TRX-4 without needing to source additional components separately.
- Transmission Tune-Up Classification — These hubs are categorised as a transmission tune-up option, meaning they integrate directly with your existing drivetrain without requiring extensive modification or replacement of other components.
- Broad TRX-4 Compatibility — These hubs are compatible with the extensive TRX-4 model range, including multiple Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan and Land Rover variants, as well as both assembled RTR models and unassembled chassis kits from Traxxas.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax TRX-4 Brass Hex Wheel Hubs V2 +3mm represent a purposeful engineering upgrade focused on improving the fundamental geometry and weight distribution of your 1/10 scale Traxxas TRX-4 crawler. Manufactured from brass rather than the standard polymer materials, these hubs contribute additional rotating mass to the wheel assembly, which can enhance momentum during technical climbing and improve overall vehicle stability in demanding rock crawling scenarios. The +3mm offset specification is a critical dimension that directly affects your vehicle's stance width, track width and weight distribution during turns and climbs. This geometric modification alters the distance between the inside of each wheel and the centreline of the chassis, creating a wider footprint that proves invaluable when tackling steep inclines, navigating around obstacles and maintaining traction across uneven terrain. The V2 designation indicates this is the second generation of the design, incorporating refinements that address real-world usage patterns experienced by TRX-4 owners. The brass material selection is particularly important for durability and performance longevity, as these components experience constant rotational stress and impact loads during trail use. Installation into your existing TRX-4 drivetrain is straightforward, as these hubs are engineered specifically around the established TRX-4 hex socket specifications. Their compatibility spans the full range of contemporary Traxxas TRX-4 offerings, including high-trail editions, sport variants and specialist models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Fastrax TRX-4 Brass Hex Wheel Hubs V2 compatible with all TRX-4 models? — These hubs are compatible with a comprehensive range of Traxxas TRX-4 variants, including the Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition (all colours), Ford F-150 Ranger XLT High Trail Edition (all colours), 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer High Trail Edition, 1979 Chevy Blazer, Nissan Pathfinder SE-V6 3S models, Land Rover Defender 4WD RTR variants, Ford Bronco 1/10 Crawler, and the unassembled TRX-4 chassis kits. Verify your specific model number against the compatibility list before purchasing to ensure fitment.
- What does the +3mm offset mean and why is it important? — The +3mm offset refers to how far the wheels sit outward from the centre of the chassis. A +3mm offset increases your vehicle's track width, which widens the stance and improves stability during cornering and technical climbing. This geometry modification is particularly beneficial for rock crawling and trail applications where a wider footprint provides enhanced traction and reduced roll-over tendency on uneven terrain.
- Why are these hubs made from brass rather than plastic? — Brass construction provides superior durability, weight characteristics and longevity compared to standard plastic hubs. The additional rotating mass of brass can enhance momentum during climbing sections, whilst the material's inherent strength resists damage from impacts and stress experienced during aggressive trail use. Brass also maintains dimensional stability over time and temperature changes, ensuring consistent performance throughout your RC crawling sessions.
- Are these difficult to install on my TRX-4? — The Fastrax TRX-4 Brass Hex Wheel Hubs V2 are designed as a direct replacement for your existing wheel hubs and integrate seamlessly with your TRX-4's established drivetrain. Installation should be straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge, requiring only standard hobby tools. If you're unsure about the installation process, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance and support.
- Will these hubs work with my existing wheels and tyres? — Yes, these hubs are designed to accept your existing wheel and tyre combination without modification. The hex socket design is standardised across the TRX-4 platform, so your current wheels will fit directly onto these upgraded hubs.
- What is the difference between the V2 and earlier versions? — The V2 designation indicates this is the second generation of the Fastrax hex hub design. The V2 incorporates refinements and improvements based on real-world feedback from the RC community, resulting in better performance and reliability compared to the original version.
