Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheel Washers represent the pinnacle of RC component engineering, crafted from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Unlike cheaper plastic or low-grade metal washers, the 6061-T6 aluminium used here is precision-machined to exacting factory specifications, ensuring every washer is identical and compatible with Traxxas's entire ecosystem of Pro Scale wheel components. The anodising process creates a hard, protective oxide layer that not only provides the stunning colour finish but also significantly increases scratch resistance and durability in wet and muddy conditions. This level of engineering means your RC car upgrade will deliver genuine performance benefits alongside aesthetic improvements. The washers are designed specifically for the Maxx Slash platform and compatible Traxxas vehicles, integrating perfectly with Traxxas wheel centres and beadlock ring systems. The precision tolerances ensure smooth, wobble-free wheel operation, which translates to better handling characteristics and improved overall vehicle control during high-speed driving or technical track work. For bashers and racers in the UK RC community who demand authentic, reliable components, these machined aluminium washers represent a worthwhile investment in genuine Traxxas quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System and how do these washers fit in? — The Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System is Traxxas's premium customisable wheel solution that allows you to build fully custom wheels from individual components. The wheel washers are the final finishing component in this system. To build a complete set of Pro Scale wheels, you start with pre-glued tyre assemblies, add a pair of aluminium wheel centres, attach aluminium beadlock rings, and finish with these aluminium wheel washers. Together, these components create a striking, unified look that is fully customisable in colour and style.
- Which Traxxas models are these wheel washers compatible with? — These wheel washers are designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck. They are specifically not compatible with the Unlimited Desert Racer, which requires part number 8549 instead. Always check compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
- Why should I choose machined aluminium washers over standard plastic alternatives? — Machined aluminium washers offer significant advantages over plastic components. The 6061-T6 aluminium is stronger, more durable, and resistant to warping under stress or in hot conditions. Aluminium also resists cracking and splitting, whereas plastic washers can become brittle over time, especially in UV light. Additionally, the premium anodised finish resists scratching and corrosion far better than plastic, maintaining its colour and appearance through countless hours of use. For RC enthusiasts who take their hobby seriously, aluminium components represent a worthwhile upgrade.
- Are these washers pre-assembled or do they require installation? — These washers are individual components that integrate with your existing Traxxas wheel centres and beadlock rings as part of the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System. Installation is straightforward and follows Traxxas's standard assembly procedure. Consult your Traxxas manual for detailed installation instructions specific to your model.
- How many washers do I need for my Maxx Slash? — This pack contains 4 wheel washers, which is exactly the quantity needed for one complete four-wheel setup on your Maxxslash. If you are building multiple wheel sets or replacing damaged washers, you may wish to order additional packs.
- Will the green anodised finish match my Maxxslash if it is a different colour? — Traxxas provides these wheel washers in five brilliant anodised colours: blue, green, red, grey, and orange. For the best visual cohesion, select the colour that matches your Maxx Slash body colour or other aluminium accessories you have installed. Many UK RC enthusiasts coordinate their wheel washers with their body colour for a unified, professional appearance.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are factory-engineered genuine Traxxas components, precision-machined to exact Traxxas specifications. Purchasing from an authorised Traxxas retailer like RC Model Shop guarantees you receive authentic components with full compatibility and durability assurance.
