Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheel washers represent the pinnacle of RC accessory engineering, manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium that has been precision machined to exact tolerances. The 6061-T6 alloy is widely recognised in engineering applications for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior machinability, making it the ideal choice for high-performance RC components. Each washer is finished with a hard anodised coating in brilliant orange, which not only provides aesthetic appeal but also offers enhanced corrosion resistance and durability against the wear and tear of regular RC use. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that prevents the aluminium from oxidising naturally, ensuring the washers maintain their vibrant colour and structural integrity through countless hours of bashing, racing, and handling. The precision machining ensures that each washer has perfect dimensional consistency, critical for proper wheel fitment and balanced rotation on your Maxx Slash 1/8 scale RC short course truck. When combined with compatible Traxxas wheel centres and beadlock rings, these washers complete the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System, allowing you to achieve professional-grade customisation whilst maintaining the reliability and performance standards Traxxas is renowned for in the RC community.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are these wheel washers and why do I need them for my Maxx Slash RC truck? — Wheel washers are thin machined components that sit between the wheel centre and the axle shaft, serving multiple critical functions: they distribute the load evenly across the wheel assembly, prevent the wheel from shifting or rotating independently on the axle, and help maintain proper wheel alignment during driving. Without quality washers, you risk uneven tyre wear, wheel wobble, and compromised handling. These Traxxas aluminium washers upgrade the standard components with premium 6061-T6 aluminium construction for improved durability and a more professional appearance.
• What is the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System and how do these washers fit into it? — The Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System is Traxxas's comprehensive solution for complete wheel customisation on your Maxx Slash or compatible RC short course truck. The system works in four distinct steps: first, you start with pre-glued tyre assemblies; second, you choose your preferred aluminium wheel centres; third, you select aluminium beadlock rings; and finally, you finish the setup with these aluminium wheel washers. This modular approach allows you to mix and match components to create a unique look whilst maintaining professional-grade performance.
• Are these wheel washers the same as standard plastic washers? — No, these premium machined aluminium washers offer several advantages over standard plastic components. The 6061-T6 aluminium provides superior strength and won't flex or deform under the lateral loads experienced during cornering and aggressive driving. The precision machining ensures perfect dimensional consistency, reducing vibration and improving wheel balance. The anodised finish is more durable than plastic and resists fading, scuffing, and UV damage far better than painted plastic alternatives, meaning your orange finish will remain vibrant through extended use.
• Can I use these wheel washers on other Traxxas RC models? — These washers are specifically engineered for the Maxx Slash platform. Whilst they may fit on other Traxxas vehicles with compatible axle systems, Traxxas recommends using the correct part number for your specific model to ensure guaranteed fit and optimal performance. If you own an Unlimited Desert Racer, for example, you should use part number 8549 instead.
• How many wheel washers do I need for a complete wheel setup? — Each Maxx Slash has four wheels, and you need one washer per wheel, so you require one complete set of these four washers. This pack contains exactly what you need for a full build.
• What colour options are available for these aluminium wheel washers? — Traxxas offers these machined aluminium wheel washers in five brilliant anodised colours: orange (this product), blue, green, red, and grey, allowing you to perfectly colour-match your RC truck body and create a cohesive, professional-looking custom build.
• Are these wheel washers suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — These premium aluminium washers are suitable for both applications. The factory-engineered design and premium materials make them ideal for competitive RC short course truck racing, where precision and durability are essential. At the same time, their enhanced strength compared to standard plastic components makes them an excellent upgrade for weekend bashers who demand long-lasting components that can handle rough terrain and aggressive driving.
• Will these orange wheel washers match my Maxx Slash body colour? — Traxxas has designed these washers specifically to complement various body colours and colour schemes. The brilliant anodised orange provides a striking accent colour that works well with neutral body colours or can create bold colour-blocking with complementary shades. If you prefer a different colour match, Traxxas offers these same premium washers in blue, green, red, and grey finishes.
