Key Features

• Extra-Long Design — The extended wheelie bar length provides superior stability and control during drag racing acceleration, allowing your Drag Slash to achieve consistent, controlled wheelies without tipping over unexpectedly or losing traction.
• Five Height Adjustment Positions — This wheelie bar features five distinct height positions that let you fine-tune exactly how extreme your wheelie action becomes, giving you complete customisation between subtle lift and dramatic full-height wheelies depending on your driving style and track conditions.
• Two Wheel Sizes for Maximum Customisation — The wheelie bar comes equipped with two different wheel sizes, allowing you to optimise ground clearance and wheelie characteristics based on your specific Drag Slash setup and personal preference for drag strip performance.
• Quick-Release Tab Design — A convenient quick-release mechanism makes removal and installation a snap, meaning you can switch from drag racing mode to off-road mode in seconds without requiring screwdrivers, wrenches, or technical knowledge.
• Two Heavy-Duty Mounts Included — This wheelie bar package includes two premium mounts: one specifically engineered for the standard Drag Slash chassis and one for low-CG (centre of gravity) versions, ensuring perfect compatibility regardless of your chassis configuration.
• Revo Sway Bar and Wing Mount Compatibility — The wheelie bar mount integrates seamlessly with Revo sway bars and wing mounts, giving you flexible upgrade options and allowing you to build a comprehensive performance setup without compatibility concerns.
• Fully Assembled and Ready to Install — Unlike wheelie bars requiring complex assembly, this component arrives fully assembled and ready to bolt onto your Drag Slash, saving you valuable setup time and eliminating assembly errors.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheelie Bar TRX9460 represents engineering excellence specifically tailored for the demands of drag strip racing with RC cars. Built from heavy-duty materials designed to withstand the extreme acceleration forces and impact loads of competitive drag racing, this wheelie bar combines intelligent design with practical durability. The five distinct height positions provide granular control over your vehicle's attitude during acceleration, enabling you to experiment with different setup configurations to find the sweet spot that maximises your Drag Slash's performance on the drag strip. The inclusion of two differently-sized wheels demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to real-world customisation—different wheel sizes directly affect ground clearance, weight distribution, and the precise moment at which your Drag Slash lifts its front wheels, making wheel choice a critical performance variable. The quick-release mechanism isn't merely convenient; it's engineered to provide reliable, repeatable installation without causing flex, twist, or misalignment that could compromise handling. The two heavy-duty mounts—one for standard chassis and one for low-CG variants—reflect the reality that modern Drag Slash setups come in multiple configurations, and this wheelie bar accommodates both without requiring modifications or workarounds. Traxxas's decision to make this wheelie bar compatible with existing Revo sway bars and wing mounts means you're not locked into a proprietary ecosystem; instead, you can mix and match components across the Traxxas range for optimal drag racing setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a wheelie bar and why do I need one for my Drag Slash? — A wheelie bar is a chassis-mounted component that prevents your RC car from flipping backwards during hard acceleration. During drag racing, extreme acceleration causes weight to shift rearward, lifting the front wheels—without a wheelie bar, this can flip your vehicle. The Traxxas Wheelie Bar TRX9460 lets you control this wheelie action precisely, enabling dramatic wheelies while maintaining stability and preventing damage to your Drag Slash.
• Is this wheelie bar difficult to install on my Drag Slash? — No. The Traxxas Wheelie Bar TRX9460 arrives fully assembled and features a quick-release design that makes installation straightforward even for RC beginners. The quick-release tab allows installation and removal without tools, making this an ideal upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their Drag Slash without wrestling with complicated assembly.
• Can I use this wheelie bar on Drag Slash chassis variants? — Yes. This wheelie bar package includes two heavy-duty mounts specifically engineered for different Drag Slash configurations: one for the standard chassis and one for low-CG (centre of gravity) versions. This ensures perfect fit and optimal performance regardless of which Drag Slash variant you own.
• How do the five height positions work? — The wheelie bar features four distinct adjustment positions that allow you to choose how extreme your wheelie action becomes. By adjusting the height at which the wheelie bar touches the ground, you control precisely when your Drag Slash lifts its front wheels during acceleration. Lower positions prevent wheelies entirely, while higher positions allow dramatic, controlled wheelies. This adjustability lets you fine-tune your drag racing performance to match track conditions and your driving style.
• What's the difference between the two wheel sizes? — The two included wheel sizes alter ground clearance and the point at which your wheelie bar engages during acceleration. Smaller wheels lower the overall wheelie bar height, while larger wheels raise it. This gives you precise control over your Drag Slash's wheelie characteristics without requiring multiple wheelie bar purchases—simply swap wheels to completely change your wheelie behaviour.
• Is this compatible with my existing Traxxas upgrades? — Yes. The wheelie bar mount is designed to integrate with Revo sway bars and wing mounts, meaning it works seamlessly alongside other Traxxas performance components. This compatibility ensures you can build a comprehensive drag racing setup without compatibility concerns.
• Is the wheelie bar suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. While the wheelie bar is engineering-grade equipment, the Traxxas Wheelie Bar TRX9460 is user-friendly thanks to its fully assembled construction and quick-release design. Beginners can install it without technical knowledge, and its five adjustment positions make it easy to dial in the perfect wheelie height for learning drag racing techniques.
