Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul rear hub carriers represent precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of 1/8 scale RC truck operation. Constructed from aluminium, these components deliver an optimal balance between weight reduction and structural rigidity, critical factors in maintaining consistent handling characteristics during aggressive driving. The integrated bearing assembly ensures smooth, low-friction rotation of the rear axles, minimising power loss and extending the operational life of your drivetrain. The blue aluminium finish not only provides visual distinction but also indicates quality surface treatment that helps resist corrosion and wear from outdoor use. The engineering behind these hubs reflects RC Overhaul's commitment to producing components that maintain the performance standards expected from the Sledge platform, making them suitable for both recreational bashers and more serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and repeatability in their setups.
