Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheel Hubs TRX8956 represent precision engineering in drivetrain design. These 17 mm hex hubs are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that they fit perfectly with the axle assemblies on Traxxas 1/8 scale vehicles including the Maxx Slash and WideMaxx platforms. The hubs themselves are designed to withstand the significant forces generated by brushless motors and high-performance drivetrain systems, which can produce extreme acceleration, braking forces and cornering loads. The 2.5x12 mm pins work in conjunction with the hex hub design to create a compound joint that distributes stress evenly, preventing premature wear or failure. Whether you're pushing your RC short course truck or monster truck to its limits on a racing circuit or enjoying high-speed bashings across rough terrain, these hubs maintain their geometric integrity and provide the reliability you need. The genuine Traxxas construction ensures these components will integrate seamlessly with your existing drivetrain, maintaining the performance characteristics your vehicle was engineered to deliver. Replacement is straightforward with basic hand tools, making these spares accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
