Designed specifically for the Maxx Slash range and compatible with multiple colour variants of this popular 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck, these aluminium wheel washers are machined from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium and beautifully anodised in eye-catching blue.

Together, they create a cohesive, professional-grade wheel package that will make your Maxx Slash stand out from the crowd.

Key Features

• Machined Aluminium Construction — Each washer is precision-machined from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium, which offers superior strength and durability compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring your wheel assembly remains secure even during aggressive driving on rough terrain.
• Professional Anodising in Blue — The washers are beautifully anodised in a vivid, eye-catching blue colour that not only looks stunning but also provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion and fading, keeping your RC car looking fresh for months of use.
• Complete Set of Four — You receive all four washers needed to equip one complete vehicle, so there's no need to purchase multiple sets or hunt for additional parts.
• Part of the Pro Scale System — These washers are the final component in Traxxas's comprehensive Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System, designed to work seamlessly with matching wheel centres and beadlock rings for a unified custom aesthetic.
• Optimised for Maxx Slash Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck, these washers are guaranteed to fit perfectly without modification or compatibility issues.
• Simple Installation — The washers are straightforward to install as part of your wheel assembly process, completing the wheel build without requiring specialist tools or technical expertise.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheel Washers in blue deliver exceptional build quality through their machined 6061-T6 aluminium construction, a material recognised across the engineering industry for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The anodised finish provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection against the elements, which is particularly important if you regularly race your Maxx Slash outdoors or in wet conditions. These washers play a critical role in the wheel assembly system of your 1/8 scale brushless RC short course truck, where they sit between the wheel centre and the vehicle's axle, distributing load evenly and preventing lateral movement that could compromise handling or wheel integrity during high-speed runs. The precision machining ensures tight tolerances, meaning the washers integrate perfectly with standard 17 mm hex wheels and adapt seamlessly to the Traxxas Maxx Slash platform regardless of whether you own the Rock N Roll, Blue, Red, or Green variant. When combined with the corresponding wheel centres and beadlock rings from the Pro Scale system, they create a robust, visually striking wheel package that matches the performance expectations of a genuine 6S brushless RC truck.
