RPM Traxxas X-Maxx Oversized Front Axle Carriers Black Suspension Upgrade RPM80662

Overview

The RPM Traxxas X-Maxx Oversized Front Axle Carriers Black RPM80662 are a premium suspension upgrade designed specifically for owners of the legendary Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck. If you own one of these massive beasts and want to take your RC driving experience to the next level, this is an essential upgrade that addresses the most common durability issues reported by X-Maxx enthusiasts across the UK and beyond. Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your RC car to its limits or a serious competitor demanding maximum reliability, these oversized carriers deliver the strength and longevity you need.

The X-Maxx is one of the most powerful and aggressive RC monster trucks available, and it demands suspension components that can handle extreme loads and punishment. RPM has engineered these front axle carriers to solve two critical issues that plague standard X-Maxx owners: insufficient durability and inadequate bearing capacity. After extensive testing and feedback from the RC community, RPM developed these BEEFY carriers with massive steering support ribs that provide the strongest possible construction available for this platform. The result is a suspension upgrade that dramatically improves reliability whilst maintaining perfect compatibility with your existing Traxxas setup.

These carriers represent a significant step up from stock components and come backed by RPM's limited lifetime breakage warranty, giving you complete peace of mind when pushing your X-Maxx to its absolute limits. Whether you've previously blown a stock inner bearing or snapped a stock front axle carrier, this upgrade is exactly what you need to keep your RC monster truck in action.

Key Features

• Oversized Inner Bearings (20x32x7mm) — These carriers include gigantic oversized inner bearings that are dramatically larger than stock Traxxas items, measuring 20x32x7mm compared to the stock 20x27x4mm bearings. This represents a 5mm increase in diameter and 3mm increase in width, resulting in a dynamic load rating that is nearly 300% higher than standard bearings and a static load rating over 300% higher. You get triple the strength of stock inner bearings, meaning your suspension can handle extreme abuse without failure.
• Massive Steering Support Ribs — The carriers feature reinforced steering support ribs that are engineered to provide maximum structural integrity and resistance to breaking during aggressive driving. These ribs distribute loads more effectively across the carrier structure, preventing the weak points that cause stock carriers to fail during high-speed turns and jumps.
• Enhanced Durability Engineering — Every aspect of these carriers has been designed to handle serious abuse that would destroy stock components. The BEEFY construction uses premium materials and design principles specifically developed to address the durability issues commonly reported by Traxxas X-Maxx owners in the RC community.
• Direct Replacement for Stock TRX7737 — These carriers replace the stock Traxxas 7737 components with a simple bolt-on installation, requiring no modifications to your existing setup. Perfect compatibility means you can upgrade your suspension in minutes without any compatibility concerns.
• Sold as a Complete Pair — Each package includes both left and right carriers with two inner oversized bearings (one for each side), giving you everything needed for a complete front suspension upgrade. You don't need to purchase multiple kits or source additional components.
• Black Colour Finish — The carriers are moulded in black, providing a sleek appearance that complements modern RC monster trucks and blends seamlessly with your X-Maxx's aesthetic.
• Limited Lifetime Breakage Warranty — RPM backs these carriers with their comprehensive limited lifetime breakage warranty, demonstrating complete confidence in the product's durability and engineering quality. This warranty gives you long-term protection for your investment.

Technical Performance

The engineering behind these oversized front axle carriers represents a quantum leap in suspension reliability for the Traxxas X-Maxx platform. The stock inner bearings used in standard X-Maxx models measure just 20x27x4mm, which provides minimal load capacity for a vehicle as powerful and aggressive as the X-Maxx. RPM's solution replaces these with massive 20x32x7mm bearings that provide triple the load rating in both static and dynamic applications. To put this in perspective, the difference equates to nearly 300% higher dynamic load rating and over 300% higher static load rating — this isn't a marginal improvement, it's a fundamental transformation of how your suspension handles stress.

The carriers themselves are constructed with reinforced steering support ribs that distribute suspension loads more effectively across the component structure. Rather than concentrating stress on weak points like stock carriers, RPM's design spreads load distribution across the entire carrier. The black moulded construction uses durable materials specifically selected to withstand the extreme stresses generated by brushless motors and aggressive driving techniques. Whether you're running high-speed circuits, competitive bashing sessions, or tackling challenging off-road terrain with your X-Maxx, these carriers are engineered to keep performing when standard components would fail. The outer bearings remain the standard Traxxas specification (RPM5106 or RPM5106A), maintaining full compatibility with your existing setup.

What's in the Box

• One left oversized front axle carrier (black moulded)
• One right oversized front axle carrier (black moulded)
• Two inner oversized bearings (20x32x7mm, one for each side)

What You Need to Complete

• Outer bearings — Standard Traxxas bearings (RPM5106 or RPM5106A, not included in this kit). Note: RPM bearings are shipped with a light rust preventative oil not suitable for bearing lubrication, so you should carefully remove one of the shields and apply a thin coat of your favourite bearing lubricant before first use.
• Basic tools — Standard RC tool set with hex keys and screwdrivers for installation

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these oversized carriers worth the upgrade for my Traxxas X-Maxx? — Yes, absolutely. If you're experiencing frequent axle carrier failures or blown inner bearings with your stock setup, this upgrade is a game-changer. The 300% increase in load rating means you'll experience dramatically fewer breakages, especially during aggressive bashing or competitive driving. Many X-Maxx owners keep a set of these carriers on hand because they've experienced stock failures and want reliability going forward.
• What is the difference between the stock 20x27x4mm bearings and the oversized 20x32x7mm bearings? — The oversized bearings provide 5mm additional diameter and 3mm additional width, resulting in approximately triple the strength. This means significantly higher load capacity in both static and dynamic applications, translating directly to fewer suspension failures during hard driving.
• How do I install the RPM Traxxas X-Maxx Oversized Front Axle Carriers? — These carriers are designed as a direct replacement for stock Traxxas 7737 components, so installation is straightforward. Simply remove your existing carriers and install the RPM units using standard RC tools. The mounting points are identical to stock components, ensuring perfect compatibility with no modifications required.
• Do I need to purchase new outer bearings for this upgrade? — No, the upgrade uses your existing outer bearings (RPM5106 or RPM5106A standard Traxxas specification). Only the inner bearings are replaced with the oversized versions included in this kit. This means you can upgrade without purchasing additional expensive components.
• What should I do with the rust preventative oil on the new bearings? — RPM bearings are shipped with a light rust preventative oil that is not suitable for actual bearing lubrication during operation. Before first use, carefully remove one of the shields from each bearing and apply a thin coat of your preferred bearing lubricant. This ensures smooth operation and prevents premature wear.
• Are these carriers compatible with all X-Maxx models? — Yes, these carriers are compatible with multiple X-Maxx variants including the X-Maxx Ultimate, X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck, and X-Monster Chassis. They replace the stock Traxxas 7737 components used across these models.
• Is the lifetime warranty really comprehensive? — RPM backs these carriers with a limited lifetime breakage warranty, demonstrating confidence in their engineering and durability. However, like all warranties, there are specific terms and conditions, so check the details with the retailer for complete information.
