Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Milled from a solid block of high-grade aerospace-spec 6061-T6 aluminium, these carriers provide exceptional strength-to-weight ratio whilst maintaining the precision tolerances required for competitive RC driving. This material choice ensures durability through countless hours of bashing and racing without compromising suspension geometry.
- Red-Anodised Finish with Two-Tone Edges — The brilliant red anodised finish is not just visually striking; anodising provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion and UV degradation, ensuring your carriers maintain their appearance through all weather conditions. The chamfered two-tone edges add a premium, factory-finished appearance that distinguishes quality upgrades from budget alternatives.
- Factory-Fit Precision Engineering — As genuine Traxxas accessories manufactured by Traxxas for Traxxas vehicles, these carriers guarantee perfect fit with zero compatibility issues. This precision engineering maintains your vehicle's original suspension geometry, meaning you gain strength without sacrificing handling characteristics that you have dialled in.
- Pair of Left and Right Carriers — This pack includes both left and right stub axle carriers, providing a complete rear suspension upgrade solution. The pair ensures balanced performance across both sides of your vehicle, maintaining symmetrical handling and predictable suspension behaviour.
- Complete Hardware Included — The installation kit includes all necessary hinge pins and screws required for proper assembly. Specifically, you receive 3x28 mm hinge pins (2) and 3x15 mm screws (2), eliminating the need to source additional hardware and ensuring you have exactly what you need for installation.
- Designed for Extreme HD Upgrade Kit Compatibility — These carriers are engineered specifically for 4X4 vehicles with the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit (9080) installed, ensuring they work seamlessly with the upgraded suspension architecture. This specialised design means you are getting components optimised for enhanced durability platforms.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas stub axle carriers represent the pinnacle of suspension upgrade engineering for compatible vehicles. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium — the same aerospace-grade material used in professional racing applications — these carriers deliver measurable improvements in strength and rigidity compared to standard plastic alternatives. The material science behind 6061-T6 specifically provides excellent machinability, allowing Traxxas engineers to achieve the precise tolerances necessary for maintained suspension geometry. The anodisation process adds a protective layer that increases wear resistance and corrosion protection, ensuring these carriers perform reliably whether you are enjoying a casual weekend bash or competing in structured racing events. The brilliant red anodised finish is applied to specification, creating a uniform appearance across both carriers that complements modern Traxxas colour schemes. These carriers are engineered to work in harmony with 4X4 vehicles equipped with the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit, meaning the suspension architecture has been optimised to make full use of the improved rigidity these aluminium components provide. The inclusion of hardened-steel hinge pins ensures that the pivot points maintain their integrity through thousands of suspension cycles. Installation requires only basic tools and mechanical knowledge, placing this upgrade within reach of intermediate RC enthusiasts whilst remaining genuinely valuable for competitive racers. The precision engineering ensures that once installed, your vehicle's suspension geometry remains uncompromised, meaning the handling characteristics you have worked to achieve will be preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Traxxas stub axle carriers compatible with? — These carriers are designed specifically for 4X4 vehicles with the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit (9080) installed. They do not fit standard suspension components, so compatibility verification against your specific model is essential before purchase. If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, our team at RC Model Shop can help confirm compatibility.
- Will these carriers improve my RC car's performance? — Yes, these aluminium carriers provide genuine performance benefits. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction adds significant strength and rigidity compared to standard plastic components, reducing flex under load and improving suspension consistency. This translates to more predictable handling, especially during high-speed cornering or aggressive terrain bashing. The improved structural integrity also extends component lifespan by reducing stress on pivot points and suspension geometry.
- How difficult is installation of these stub axle carriers? — Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC tools. The carriers are designed for straightforward bolt-on installation, with all necessary hardware included in the box. If you have previously performed basic maintenance or suspension upgrades on your RC vehicle, you should find installation straightforward. If you are new to RC car modifications, our experienced team can provide guidance.
- Why choose aluminium carriers over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium carriers offer multiple advantages over plastic. The 6061-T6 aluminium provides superior strength-to-weight ratio, meaning improved durability without adding significant mass. The material resists flexing under load, maintaining suspension geometry more precisely through aggressive driving. The anodised finish provides corrosion and UV resistance, ensuring your upgrade performs reliably in all weather conditions. Finally, the premium appearance and factory-finish quality reflect the precision engineering investment Traxxas has made in these components.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, absolutely. These are authentic Traxxas-manufactured components designed and built to the same standards as factory equipment. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, we stock only genuine products, guaranteeing perfect factory fit and the full durability warranty that comes with genuine Traxxas components.
- Will these carriers fit my standard Traxxas suspension? — No, these carriers are specifically engineered for 4X4 vehicles equipped with the Extreme HD Upgrade Kit. They do not fit standard suspension components, so you must verify your vehicle configuration before ordering. If you have the Extreme HD kit installed, these carriers are the ideal upgrade choice.
