Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas Mini Maxx, Mini Rally VXL, or Mini Slash with genuine Traxxas 6061-T6 aluminium stub axle carriers in stunning grey anodised finish. These premium left and right carriers are engineered to transform your RC monster truck or short course truck with enhanced appearance, strength, and precision engineering. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast shopping for RC car upgrades in the UK or a weekend basher looking to improve your machine's durability and looks, these aluminium carriers deliver the quality and performance you expect from Traxxas, the fastest name in radio control.
Traxxas stub axle carriers are machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium billet, the same premium aerospace-grade material used in professional RC racing and competition-grade vehicles. Each carrier begins as a solid piece of aluminium and undergoes computer-controlled precision machining to reveal its finished shape, ensuring perfect dimensional accuracy and factory-tight tolerances every single time. The brilliant grey anodised finish not only looks fantastic but also provides corrosion resistance and a hardwearing protective layer that keeps your RC truck looking showroom-fresh through countless bashing sessions.
As genuine Traxxas accessories made by Traxxas for Traxxas, these carriers guarantee a perfect factory fit without any modification or adjustment required. Installation is straightforward, allowing you to upgrade your ready-to-run RC car or competition machine in minutes. The anodised finish comes in multiple colour options across the Traxxas aluminium upgrade range, giving you the freedom to match your truck's colour scheme or create a unique custom look.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aerospace-Grade Aluminium Construction — These carriers are precision-machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium billet, the same material specification used in aircraft and professional racing applications, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior durability compared to plastic alternatives.
- Computer-Controlled Precision Machining — Every carrier is manufactured using computer-controlled machining equipment that reveals the finished shape from solid billet, ensuring precise dimensional accuracy and perfect factory fit every time you install them on your RC monster truck.
- Brilliant Grey Anodised Finish — The professional anodised coating provides a premium appearance with deep colour saturation, offers excellent corrosion resistance against moisture and dirt, and creates a hardwearing surface that resists scratching and maintains its finish through intensive RC bashing and racing.
- Left and Right Pair Included — This package includes both left and right stub axle carriers, giving you a complete set to upgrade your vehicle's front or rear suspension geometry and strength.
- Improves Appearance and Strength — Replacing stock plastic carriers with aluminium upgrade parts instantly enhances your RC truck's aesthetic appeal whilst simultaneously increasing suspension rigidity and reducing flex under cornering and landing loads.
- Premium Quality with Factory Fit and Finish — Genuine Traxxas accessories are designed and manufactured by the same engineers who created your vehicle, guaranteeing perfect compatibility, precise fitment, and no modifications needed for installation.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas stub axle carriers represent the pinnacle of RC upgrade engineering for mini-scale vehicles. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium billet using computer-controlled equipment, these carriers deliver precision that rivals full-size automotive manufacturing. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy specification is chosen specifically for its exceptional strength characteristics, machinability, and corrosion resistance properties that make it ideal for outdoor RC use across the UK's variable weather conditions. The carriers boost the structural rigidity of your suspension geometry, reducing flex during high-speed cornering and aggressive landings that would cause plastic components to deflect or break under load. The grey anodised finish is applied through a hardcoat anodising process that creates a thick, durable surface layer resistant to corrosion, UV fading, and mechanical wear, ensuring your upgrade investment maintains its appearance and protective qualities through seasons of use. Installation is designed for absolute simplicity, with mounting points that align perfectly with your vehicle's original specifications, requiring only basic hand tools and no modification to your RC car's chassis or suspension components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these stub axle carriers compatible with my Traxxas Mini Maxx? — Yes, these grey anodised carriers are designed as direct replacements for the Mini Maxx BL-2S in all available colours. They are also compatible with the Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 and Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 short course truck, making them versatile upgrade options for multiple Traxxas mini-scale models.
- Will these aluminium carriers make a noticeable difference to my RC truck's performance? — The carriers improve both appearance and strength, with the aluminium construction adding rigidity to your suspension geometry that reduces flex during cornering and landing impacts. This translates to more consistent handling characteristics, particularly in high-traction conditions where plastic components would deflect more significantly, though the primary benefit is enhanced durability and a more premium appearance.
- How difficult is it to install these stub axle carriers? — Installation is designed for simplicity as these are genuine Traxxas accessories engineered for perfect factory fit. Being direct replacement components, they mount directly to your existing suspension points without requiring any chassis modifications or special tools beyond basic hand tools you likely already own.
- Why should I choose aluminium carriers over keeping the stock plastic parts? — Aluminium offers superior strength characteristics, excellent corrosion resistance through the anodising process, and a significantly more premium aesthetic appearance compared to plastic. For RC enthusiasts investing in their vehicles, aluminium upgrades represent the next step in enhancing both durability and visual appeal, particularly for those who frequently bash their trucks or compete in RC racing events.
- Are these carriers available in colours other than grey? — Yes, the Traxxas aluminium suspension upgrade range includes multiple anodised colour options including red, blue, green, orange, and pink, allowing you to match your truck's colour scheme or create a custom appearance that reflects your personal style.
- How does the anodised finish protect the aluminium underneath? — The anodising process creates a hardcoat protective layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion from moisture and salt, protects against UV fading, and provides a hardwearing finish that resists scratching from normal RC use. This makes the carriers ideal for the variable UK weather conditions including rain, snow, and coastal environments.
