Key Features
- Machined 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These wheel washers are manufactured from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, the same premium material used in aerospace and high-performance applications, ensuring exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to bending or warping during aggressive driving or track racing.
- Bronze Anodised Finish — The beautiful bronze anodised coating not only provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability, but also delivers an eye-catching colour that complements modern RC truck designs and stands out visually on any build.
- Part of the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System — These washers are engineered to work perfectly within Traxxas's complete Pro Scale wheel customisation ecosystem, allowing seamless integration with aluminium wheel centres and beadlock rings for a cohesive, high-quality final assembly.
- Pack of Four Washers — Each purchase includes a complete set of four washers, providing everything needed to finish one full set of Pro Scale wheels for your RC vehicle.
- Precision Engineering — Machined to exact tolerances, these washers ensure proper fit and alignment with your wheel assembly, preventing movement or rattling that could compromise handling or tyre performance on the track.
- Optimised for Maxx Slash Compatibility — Specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck, these washers integrate perfectly with the truck's drivetrain architecture and wheel hub specifications.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheel Washers TRX10257 represent the pinnacle of precision RC component engineering, manufactured from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium that delivers exceptional durability without unnecessary weight. This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is renowned for its excellent machinability, allowing Traxxas engineers to produce washers with exact tolerances and a perfect surface finish. The bronze anodised coating provides multiple benefits: it delivers superior corrosion resistance, protects the aluminium from oxidation and surface damage, and creates a visually striking aesthetic that enhances any custom wheel build. The anodising process penetrates the aluminium surface to create a hard, durable layer that resists scratches and wear from frequent track use. These washers are engineered to work specifically with the Traxxas Pro Scale wheel system on the Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal performance. The machined construction guarantees that each washer maintains its shape and integrity through countless hours of high-performance driving, whether you're racing competitively or bashing casually. When used as part of the complete Pro Scale wheel assembly—combining pre-glued tyre assemblies, aluminium wheel centres, beadlock rings, and these washers—you create a wheel system that performs as well as it looks.

Compatibility and Important Notes
These Traxxas Wheel Washers are specifically designed for use with the Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck, including all colour variants: Red (TRX102076-4-RED), Green (TRX102076-4-GRN), Rock N Roll (TRX102076-4-RNR), and Blue (TRX102076-4-BLUE). It is important to note that these wheel washers are not compatible with the Unlimited Desert Racer; Traxxas part number 8549 should be used instead for that vehicle. Additionally, wheel washers are not required when using the 8950X Maxx Slash steel CV driveshafts, allowing builders flexibility in their drivetrain configuration. The Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System offers a complete checklist to ensure you have all components: Start with pre-glued tyre assemblies (2 sets required), choose a pair of aluminium wheel centres (2 sets required), choose a set of aluminium beadlock rings (1 set required), and finish with a set of aluminium wheel washers (1 set required). This systematic approach ensures nothing is missed when building your custom wheels.
Why Choose Pro Scale Aluminium Wheels?
The Traxxas Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System represents a revolutionary approach to RC customisation, offering RC enthusiasts the ability to build wheels that are uniquely theirs. Unlike standard off-the-shelf wheels, the Pro Scale system allows you to mix and match components to create custom configurations that match your driving style, aesthetic preferences, and performance requirements. The aluminium construction provides superior strength and durability compared to plastic alternatives, while the lightweight design helps optimise your truck's handling characteristics. Whether you're competing at the highest levels of RC racing or simply want your truck to turn heads at your local RC club, Pro Scale wheels deliver the customisation, quality, and performance that serious RC car UK enthusiasts demand.
