The precision fit and durable construction mean your wheels stay securely attached through challenging terrain, whilst the lightweight design reduces unsprung mass and improves handling characteristics.

Machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminium, these hubs embody the engineering excellence expected from a leading RC manufacturer. The 12mm hex design ensures compatibility with a wide range of Traxxas wheels and provides greater precision fitting than standard components. Each set comes complete with four wheel hubs plus four screw pins, giving you everything needed to upgrade all four corners of your RC truck or crawler in one straightforward purchase.
Key Features
- Solid 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Machined from premium aerospace-grade aluminium alloy, these hubs offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, delivering durable performance without adding unnecessary bulk to your RC crawler or trail truck. This material choice is specifically engineered to withstand the demands of serious off-road RC driving whilst remaining light enough to improve overall vehicle dynamics.
- Green Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised surface provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection. This protective coating resists corrosion, prevents oxidation, and maintains its vibrant colour through countless hours of use, ensuring your RC truck always looks showroom-fresh. The anodising process also hardens the aluminium surface, making these hubs more resistant to wear and damage from impacts and abrasion.
- 12mm Hex Compatibility — The 12mm hex design fits with greater precision into compatible Traxxas wheel systems, ensuring a secure and reliable connection that resists stripping and maintains consistent wheel alignment. This precision fit is particularly important for RC crawlers where wheel stability and positioning are critical to maintaining traction and handling on technical terrain.
- Strip-Proof Performance — These hubs deliver exceptional durability without compromising on weight, meaning your wheels won't slip or strip even under the stress of aggressive acceleration, heavy braking, or challenging rock crawling. The precision machining and robust aluminium construction work together to eliminate wobble and ensure consistent performance session after session.
- High-Tech Styling — The sleek design and premium finish instantly upgrade the visual appeal of your TRX-4 axles, giving your RC vehicle a more professional, purposeful appearance. The green anodising works beautifully with both red and black body kits, as well as the full range of TRX-4 variants, making these hubs a stylish upgrade that looks as good as it performs.
- Complete 4-Piece Set with Hardware — Each purchase includes four wheel hubs plus four screw pins, providing everything needed for a complete four-corner upgrade. This comprehensive package eliminates the need for separate purchases and ensures consistency across all four wheels of your RC truck or crawler.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheel Hubs represent the pinnacle of precision engineering for 1/10 scale RC crawlers and trail vehicles. Manufactured from solid 6061-T6 aluminium—the same grade used in aerospace applications—these components deliver exceptional performance characteristics across demanding terrain. The 12mm hex design provides a significantly tighter, more precise fit compared to standard hubs, which translates directly to improved wheel retention and eliminates the frustrating play that can develop with inferior components. The anodising process creates a hardened surface layer that resists wear from repeated insertion and removal of wheel adapters, a consideration that matters greatly for serious RC enthusiasts who regularly maintain and upgrade their vehicles. The lightweight aluminium construction keeps unsprung mass to a minimum, improving your vehicle's suspension response and overall handling characteristics on rocky, technical terrain. These hubs are engineered to work seamlessly with the complete range of TRX-4 variants, including the 1979 Chevy Blazer, Nissan Pathfinder, Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT, 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, 2021 Ford Bronco, Defender, TRX-4 Sport, and TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG variants. The precision manufacturing ensures compatibility with TRX-4 axles whilst maintaining the reliability and durability standards expected from Traxxas components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas models are these wheel hubs compatible with? — These 12mm hex wheel hubs are designed for TRX-4 scale RC crawlers and compatible with a comprehensive range of models including the TRX-4 1979 Chevy Blazer, Nissan Pathfinder SE-V6, Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT, 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, 2021 Ford Bronco, TRX-4 Defender, TRX-4 Sport variants, and TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG XL-5. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's documentation or contacting our team of RC experts.
- Why should I upgrade to aluminium wheel hubs? — Aluminium wheel hubs offer significant advantages over plastic alternatives used in some entry-level RC vehicles. They provide superior durability, eliminate wheel slippage and stripping, maintain precision fit over extended use, and significantly improve the overall appearance of your RC truck. The 6061-T6 aluminium grade used in these Traxxas hubs is specifically chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio, meaning you get maximum durability with minimal weight penalty, which directly translates to better handling and suspension performance.
- What is the difference between the green-anodised hubs and other colour options? — The colour difference is purely aesthetic and relates to the anodising dye used during the finishing process. Functionally, all Traxxas anodised wheel hubs—regardless of colour—offer identical strip-proof performance, durability, and precision fit. The choice between green, red, black, or other available colours comes down to personal preference and how well the hubs complement your specific RC truck's body colour and overall aesthetic.
- Do these hubs require any special maintenance? — The anodised aluminium finish is designed to require minimal maintenance. Occasionally rinse your wheel hubs with fresh water after muddy trail sessions to prevent salt and mineral buildup, and allow them to air dry. The anodising process creates a hard, protective surface that resists corrosion and wear, so these hubs will maintain their appearance and performance with just basic care. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the anodised finish.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These wheel hubs are a straightforward, direct-bolt upgrade that requires no special tools or technical knowledge beyond basic hex key use. If you're new to RC and want to upgrade your vehicle's components, or if you're building an RC crawler for the first time, these hubs represent an excellent investment that will improve your vehicle's reliability and appearance without introducing any complexity to your build or maintenance routine.
- How many hubs do I need? — This set contains four wheel hubs with four screw pins, which is exactly what you need to upgrade all four corners of your RC truck or crawler. If you're running multiple vehicles or want to keep spare hubs on hand, you may wish to purchase multiple sets, but one set will completely outfit any single TRX-4 variant.
