These wheel washers represent Traxxas's commitment to precision engineering and component quality. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most widely trusted materials in professional RC racing and engineering applications, these washers offer outstanding durability without adding unnecessary weight to your vehicle. The anodised finish provides a protective layer that guards against corrosion from moisture, dirt, and the elements—essential for maintaining appearance and function whether you're running your Maxx Slash on the track, in the dirt, or through challenging terrain. The precision machining ensures perfect fitment and alignment with your wheel assembly, maintaining the balance and performance characteristics of your 1/8 scale brushless short course truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly are wheel washers and why do I need them? — Wheel washers are precision-engineered spacers that sit between your wheel and axle, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes.
