Overview
The Traxxas Stub Axle in stunning orange anodised aluminium is a premium upgrade for your high-performance RC monster truck or sand car. Whether you own an X-Maxx, XRT, or Funco Motorsports model, this replacement stub axle transforms both the appearance and structural integrity of your vehicle's drivetrain. Built from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminium and finished with a vibrant anodised coating, this component represents genuine Traxxas engineering excellence for the serious RC car enthusiast in the UK.
This is not simply a cosmetic upgrade—the aluminium construction delivers measurable improvements in strength, precision, and control compared to standard components. The stub axle is a critical part of your RC vehicle's rear suspension and drivetrain assembly, responsible for transferring power from the driveshaft to the wheels whilst maintaining alignment and structural rigidity during high-speed runs and aggressive off-road bashng. For anyone looking to enhance their ready-to-run RC monster truck or sand car, this upgrade represents excellent value and reliability.
Compatible with multiple Traxxas X-Series vehicles including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD, X-Maxx Ultimate, XRT VXL-8S, and Funco Motorsports Pro Scale models, this stub axle is designed for demanding applications. The brilliant orange anodised finish features a high-contrast laser-etched TRX logo, ensuring your RC car looks as professional as it performs on the track, in the garden, or at your local RC racing club.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Billet Aluminium Construction — The stub axle is manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers the perfect balance of strength and lightweight properties, ensuring your RC vehicle handles impacts and high-stress manoeuvres without failure or flex.
- Orange Anodised Finish — The vibrant orange anodised coating is not merely decorative; anodising provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, dirt accumulation, and wear from repeated use in all weather conditions, maintaining the component's appearance and longevity.
- High-Contrast Laser-Etched TRX Logo — Each stub axle features a precision laser-etched Traxxas TRX trademark, adding visual impact to your RC car and confirming you are using genuine, factory-approved Traxxas components with full engineering support.
- Enhanced Appearance and Control — The aluminium stub axle improves the ruggedness and visual appeal of your X-Maxx or XRT whilst simultaneously enhancing the vehicle's handling characteristics through improved precision and reduced flex in the drivetrain assembly.
- Designed for Heavy-Duty Driveshafts — This stub axle is engineered specifically for use with the Traxxas 7750X heavy-duty driveshaft (and compatible with the 7896 8S-spec heavy-duty driveshaft), ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal power transmission for 8S LiPo-powered vehicles.
- Broad Vehicle Compatibility — Compatible across the entire X-Maxx and XRT range, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck in all colour options, X-Maxx Ultimate variants, XRT VXL-8S in multiple colours, and the Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car family.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Stub Axle TRX7768T represents precision engineering at the highest level. Manufactured from billet 6061-T6 aluminium—the same material used in aerospace and motorsport applications—this component is engineered to withstand the extreme forces generated by 8S LiPo-powered brushless RC vehicles. The stub axle is a critical structural element in the rear suspension and drivetrain of your RC monster truck or sand car, responsible for maintaining wheel alignment, transferring rotational power from the driveshaft to the wheels, and providing lateral support during cornering and off-road impacts. The precision machining ensures perfect fitment and eliminates the play and flex that can occur with lower-grade components, resulting in more responsive steering, better traction control, and improved overall handling characteristics. The orange anodised finish undergoes a multi-stage electrochemical process that creates a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer, protecting the underlying aluminium from the rigours of water exposure, mud, salt, and UV radiation—essential for UK RC enthusiasts who race in all seasons and weather conditions. This upgrade is particularly valuable for owners of high-specification RC vehicles running 8S LiPo batteries and brushless motors capable of producing extreme torque and horsepower. Whether you run your X-Maxx or XRT at the local RC club, in your garden, or at competitive events, the stub axle's robust construction ensures reliability and consistency lap after lap.

- What driveshaft do I need to use with this stub axle? — This stub axle is designed exclusively for use with the Traxxas 7750X heavy-duty driveshaft. It is also compatible with the 7896 8S-spec heavy-duty driveshaft. Do not attempt to use this component with standard driveshafts, as it will not fit correctly and may cause performance issues or damage.
- Will this improve the performance of my RC monster truck? — Yes, the aluminium stub axle delivers measurable improvements in precision, control, and structural rigidity. The reduction in flex and play in the drivetrain translates to more responsive steering, better traction, and improved handling characteristics, particularly noticeable during aggressive bashng or competitive racing. The lightweight yet strong aluminium also supports the extreme torque generated by 8S LiPo brushless motors.
- Is the orange anodised finish durable for UK weather conditions? — Absolutely. The anodised coating creates a hard, protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from water, salt, mud, and UV exposure. The high-quality anodising process used by Traxxas ensures the vibrant orange colour remains vivid even with regular use in wet, muddy, or salty environments common to UK RC racing and bashing.
- Can I use this stub axle as a direct replacement? — Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with the compatible 7750X or 7896 driveshaft. The stub axle is a straightforward replacement component. You will require basic tools (hex drivers and screwdrivers) for removal and installation, and basic mechanical knowledge is helpful but not essential. Consult your vehicle's manual for detailed installation instructions.
- What is the difference between this orange stub axle and other Traxxas options? — This stub axle offers a premium aluminium construction in place of standard plastic or lower-grade metal components. The billet 6061-T6 aluminium delivers superior strength, precision, and durability whilst the orange anodised finish provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion protection. It is available in left and right configurations to suit your vehicle's requirements.
