Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These carriers are manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which is recognised throughout the RC industry for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and durability. This material choice ensures your stub axle carriers can withstand the demands of aggressive driving whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain the handling balance of your RC car.
- Blue Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised blue finish provides both aesthetic appeal and practical protection against corrosion and oxidation. This hard-coat anodising process creates a durable surface that resists wear from dirt, moisture, and regular use, keeping your RC car looking professional whilst maintaining long-term reliability.
- Rear Position Design — Specifically engineered for rear suspension geometry, these carriers maintain the track-bred suspension characteristics that Traxxas vehicles are engineered for, ensuring you don't sacrifice handling performance when upgrading to stronger components.
- Pair Quantity (2 pcs) — This package includes a complete pair of left and right carriers, giving you everything required for both rear hub positions in a single purchase. This eliminates the need for multiple orders and ensures perfectly matched components.
- Complete Installation Kit Included — The package includes hardened-steel hinge pins and e-clips, providing all the fastening components needed for installation. These hardened-steel pins are specifically engineered to handle the increased strength of the aluminium carriers without risk of deformation under load.
- Enhanced Strength Without Geometry Compromise — Unlike heavier alternative materials, these aluminium carriers boost structural strength whilst preserving the suspension geometry tuning that makes Traxxas vehicles competitive. You gain durability benefits without sacrificing the handling characteristics you've already dialled in.
- Wide Model Compatibility — These carriers are engineered to fit a comprehensive range of Traxxas models including the Slash 4x4, Rustler Ultimate VXL, Slash Ultimate, and other supported platforms, making this an intelligent upgrade for multi-vehicle RC collections.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Carriers, stub axle represent the pinnacle of aftermarket suspension engineering for RC short course trucks and buggies. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, these carriers deliver measurable improvements in structural rigidity and durability compared to standard plastic components. The 6061-T6 alloy is specifically chosen for its exceptional balance of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance—qualities that make it the material of choice for premium RC manufacturers throughout the world. The blue anodised finish is not merely decorative; hard-coat anodising creates a protective layer that significantly extends component lifespan by preventing corrosion and surface degradation that can occur through regular exposure to dirt, water, and UV light. The engineering maintains full compatibility with your vehicle's original suspension kinematics, meaning you can confidently install these carriers without requiring additional suspension geometry adjustments or compromising the carefully engineered handling balance of your Traxxas platform. The hardened-steel hinge pins included in the installation kit are specifically hardened to resist the increased loads that aluminium carriers can transmit compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring reliability under competition-level driving conditions. For RC enthusiasts running vehicles like the Slash 4x4, Rustler Ultimate VXL, or Slash Ultimate, these carriers represent a proven upgrade path that delivers tangible benefits in strength and durability whilst maintaining the factory-engineered suspension response.

They are also compatible with the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally models. Always verify your specific vehicle model against the compatibility list before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
- Do I need any additional tools or components to install these carriers? — The package includes a complete installation kit with hardened-steel hinge pins and e-clips, so you have all the fastening components required for installation. You'll need basic RC tools such as a hinge pin tool or small punch to remove and install the pins, but these are standard items in any RC enthusiast's toolkit. If you're new to RC suspension work, installation is straightforward and takes only a few minutes per side.
- What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than plastic for stub axle carriers? — 6061-T6 aluminium offers substantially higher strength and rigidity compared to plastic whilst remaining lightweight. This means the carriers can handle greater driving forces without flexing, which improves overall chassis responsiveness and durability. The anodised finish also provides superior corrosion resistance, extending component lifespan significantly, particularly for drivers in the UK where moisture exposure is common.
- Will upgrading to these aluminium carriers affect my vehicle's handling? — No—these carriers are specifically engineered to maintain your vehicle's original track-bred suspension geometry. By providing increased rigidity without altering suspension angles or dimensions, they actually improve handling consistency by reducing unwanted flex under load. You'll notice crisper, more predictable handling without requiring any suspension tuning changes.
- Are these carriers suitable for beginners? — Yes, these carriers are suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC tools. The included hardened-steel hinge pins and e-clips make installation foolproof. Even if you're new to suspension upgrades, installation can be completed in just a few minutes. Beginners benefit from the enhanced durability these carriers provide, reducing the frequency of component replacement.
- How do the blue-anodised carriers look compared to standard plastic? — The brilliant blue anodised finish creates a striking visual upgrade that transforms the appearance of your RC car. The smooth, professional-looking surface finish is far more attractive than standard plastic and maintains its appearance through extended use thanks to the protective anodised coating. Many RC drivers choose these carriers not just for performance but because they significantly enhance the overall aesthetic of their vehicles.
