Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Hub Carrier Fr Blue Aluminum (Pr) Sledge represents precision engineering in the aftermarket RC parts sector. Built from quality anodised aluminium, these carriers deliver the rigidity required for reliable performance during aggressive driving and high-speed runs. The blue anodised finish not only provides a striking visual appearance but also offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making these components ideal for UK bashers who may encounter wet conditions, muddy terrain, or salty environments. The robust metal construction ensures that these hub carriers maintain their structural integrity under the demanding loads imposed by the Sledge's powerful 6S LiPo drivetrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these hub carriers fit my Traxxas Sledge 6S? — Yes, the RC Overhaul Hub Carrier Fr Blue Aluminum (Pr) Sledge G-RCO-TRX030 is specifically designed for the Traxxas Sledge platform. However, it is recommended that you check your vehicle's manual and verify dimensions before installation to ensure complete compatibility with your specific model variant.
- Are these hub carriers suitable for beginners? — These hub carriers are replacement option parts rather than components for a complete ready-to-run RC car UK package. They are best suited to users who already own a Sledge and are seeking to replace worn parts or upgrade their existing vehicle with quality aluminium components. If you're new to the RC hobby, a complete ready-to-run Sledge package would be a better starting point.
- What is the advantage of aluminium over plastic hub carriers? — Aluminium hub carriers offer superior strength, rigidity, and durability compared to factory plastic components. They resist bending and cracking under heavy loads, maintain their shape through extreme driving conditions, and provide better corrosion resistance to UK environmental factors like moisture and temperature fluctuations. The blue anodised finish adds both aesthetic appeal and protective properties against oxidation.
- Can I install these myself? — These hub carriers are designed as straightforward replacement components for the Sledge. Installation requires basic RC knowledge and standard RC tools. The parts integrate directly with your existing Sledge chassis, suspension, and drivetrain. If you are unfamiliar with RC car maintenance and upgrades, we recommend consulting your Sledge manual or seeking advice from the experienced team at RC Model Shop before attempting installation.
- Do I need to replace both left and right carriers? — This product is supplied as a pair (2 pieces), providing both left and right front hub carriers. You can choose to replace both simultaneously for a complete front-end upgrade, or install them one at a time as needed depending on the condition of your existing components.
- What colour finish do these hub carriers come in? — These hub carriers feature a bright blue anodised aluminium finish, providing an attractive appearance whilst offering durability and corrosion resistance. The blue colour coordinates well with many Sledge colour schemes and maintains its appearance through regular use in various UK driving conditions.
