Key Features
- 12mm Tall-Offset Design — The tall-offset geometry of these wheel hubs is engineered to optimise your Traxxas Rustler or Stampede's suspension kinematics, ensuring the wheels sit at the correct angle and height for optimal handling characteristics and tyre contact patch performance.
- Genuine Traxxas Manufacturing — These hubs are manufactured by Traxxas using their proven engineering and quality control processes, ensuring they meet the exact specifications and tolerances required for perfect fitment and reliability on your electric RC model.
- Precision Hex Interface — The hexagonal bore accepts standard 12mm hex adaptors found on most Traxxas wheels, providing a secure and repeatable connection that prevents slippage during aggressive driving or high-speed corners.
- Included Axle Pins — This package comes with two 2.5x10mm axle pins that work in conjunction with the hubs to secure your wheels firmly to the axles, preventing wheel walk and ensuring consistent performance lap after lap.
- Front Suspension Specific — Designed exclusively for front axle fitment on Rustler and Stampede models, these hubs ensure your vehicle maintains proper geometry and handling balance characteristic to these iconic Traxxas platforms.
- Durable Construction — Built from materials selected for strength and longevity, these hubs withstand the rigours of bashing, racing and regular use without premature wear or dimensional change.
- Drop-In Replacement — If your existing hubs are damaged or worn, the TRX3654 serves as a direct replacement requiring no modification or adaptation, allowing you to get back on the track or bash spot quickly.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheel Hubs TRX3654 represent precision drivetrain engineering designed to support the performance requirements of Traxxas' legendary Rustler and Stampede electric RC vehicles. The 12mm tall-offset design is critical to maintaining the correct suspension geometry that these vehicles are engineered around, ensuring optimal weight distribution, tyre contact patch, and cornering performance. The hexagonal bore provides a robust interface with standard Traxxas wheel adaptors, whilst the included 2.5x10mm axle pins deliver the clamping force necessary to prevent any movement between hub and axle during hard acceleration, braking and cornering. These hubs are manufactured to tight tolerances that ensure repeatability and consistency, critical factors in delivering the handling balance and reliability that Traxxas vehicles are recognised for. Whether running a brushless or brushed motor system, 2WD or 4WD configuration, the hub geometry remains constant, making this an essential component for maintaining factory performance characteristics. The materials and construction methods employed in the manufacture of these hubs ensure they deliver years of reliable service through bashful weekend sessions and competitive racing environments alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheel hubs compatible with my Traxxas Rustler or Stampede? — Yes, these hubs are specifically engineered for the front axles of Traxxas Rustler and Stampede models. They are drop-in replacements that require no modification and will restore your vehicle to factory specifications if your original hubs are damaged or worn.
- What does tall-offset mean and why does it matter? — Tall-offset refers to the mounting height and geometry of the hub relative to the axle. This specific offset is engineered into your Rustler or Stampede to optimise suspension kinematics, ensuring correct wheel position, tyre contact, and handling balance. Using incorrect offsets can negatively affect handling and performance.
- Do I need to replace the axle pins as well? — The axle pins are included in this package and work with the hubs to secure your wheels. If your original pins are bent, damaged or lost, replacing them along with the hubs ensures everything is in factory condition and prevents wheel walk during driving.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX3654 is an official Traxxas part manufactured to their specifications. Ordering from an authorised Traxxas retailer ensures you receive genuine components with the quality assurance you expect from the brand.
- What is the difference between front and rear hubs on my Rustler/Stampede? — Front and rear hubs are designed with different offset values to account for the varying suspension geometry, weight distribution, and handling requirements at each end of the vehicle. Using the correct front hubs ensures your vehicle maintains the suspension geometry it was engineered with.
- How often should I replace my wheel hubs? — Under normal bashful use, wheel hubs can last many driving sessions. However, if you notice your wheels are loose, damaged hubs, or suspect geometry issues, replacement becomes necessary to maintain handling and safety. Competitive racers may replace hubs more frequently as part of regular maintenance.
- Will these hubs work with aftermarket wheels? — Yes, provided your aftermarket wheels feature the standard 12mm hexagonal bore found on most Traxxas-compatible wheels. Always verify compatibility with your specific wheel before purchasing.
