Upgrading from standard components to these aluminium carriers improves appearance, strength, and precision handling characteristics. This makes them an essential upgrade for anyone serious about maximising their RC car UK performance and longevity.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The billet 6061-T6 aluminium material provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, delivering structural rigidity without adding unnecessary weight to your RC monster truck. This premium aerospace-grade aluminium is the same material specification used throughout the Traxxas range, ensuring compatibility and consistent quality standards.
- Brilliant Anodised Finish — The red anodised finish is not merely decorative; anodising creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, weathering, and general wear from typical RC car use. The vibrant red colour adds dramatic visual impact to your Mini Maxx whilst the anodised coating extends the lifespan of the components.
- High-Contrast Laser-Etched Logo — Each carrier features a precisely laser-etched TRX logo that provides authentic Traxxas branding with professional appearance. The high-contrast etching ensures the logo remains visible and sharp even after extended use and exposure to dirt and moisture.
- Left and Right Pair — This pack includes both left and right stub axle carriers, providing a complete rear suspension upgrade. Having matched pairs ensures symmetrical handling and appearance from both sides of your vehicle.
- Improves Appearance — The striking red colour and premium finish instantly upgrade the visual presence of your Mini Maxx, making it stand out at the track, in the park, or in your collection. The metallic finish catches light beautifully, creating a professional motorsport aesthetic.
- Improves Strength — Upgrading from plastic to precision-engineered aluminium carriers significantly increases structural rigidity in the rear suspension assembly. This improvement reduces flex and deflection during hard cornering, jumping, and aggressive driving, resulting in more consistent handling characteristics.
- Improves Precision — The tight tolerances and precision manufacturing of billet aluminium components ensure accurate suspension geometry, leading to improved handling, traction, and overall vehicle dynamics compared to standard components.
- Premium Quality Construction — As genuine Traxxas accessories, these carriers feature factory-quality construction with attention to detail. Every aspect is engineered and manufactured to the same exacting standards as the vehicles themselves.
- Factory Fit and Finish — Because these are genuine Traxxas parts made by Traxxas, for Traxxas, they fit perfectly on compatible Mini Maxx models without modification or adjustment. This drop-in compatibility means installation takes minutes, not hours.
- Genuine Traxxas Accessory — Purchasing genuine Traxxas parts guarantees compatibility, quality, and longevity. Unlike aftermarket alternatives, genuine Traxxas accessories are designed with your specific vehicle in mind and backed by Traxxas engineering and support.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas stub axle carriers are engineered from billet 6061-T6 aluminium, a material renowned for its exceptional balance of strength, weight, and machinability. This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is harder and more rigid than plastic alternatives whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel, making it the ideal choice for precision RC components. The 6061-T6 designation refers to the specific heat-treatment process, which optimises the material's mechanical properties for maximum strength and dimensional stability. The precision machining process creates carriers with tight tolerances that ensure accurate alignment of suspension geometry, critical for consistent handling and traction in your Mini Maxx.
The anodising process applied to these carriers serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. The brilliant red anodised finish creates a protective oxide layer measured in micrometers thick, which resists corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and general environmental exposure. This protection is particularly valuable for RC cars that encounter grass, dirt, water crossings, and outdoor weather conditions typical to the UK climate. The anodised coating also provides improved wear resistance compared to bare aluminium, helping these carriers maintain their pristine appearance through seasons of active use.
These carriers work in conjunction with your Mini Maxx's rear suspension system to support the stub axle assembly and control suspension geometry. By upgrading to aluminium carriers, you reduce flex and deflection that can occur with plastic components under load, resulting in more predictable handling and improved traction during acceleration and cornering. The precision fit ensures that suspension angles remain consistent, leading to more linear and responsive vehicle behaviour during competition or recreational driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC models are these stub axle carriers compatible with? — These TRX10751-RED carriers are specifically designed for Traxxas Mini Maxx models, including all colour variants and the brushless Mini Maxx BL-2S versions in green, blue, black, and orange. They are also compatible with the Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 in red, blue, and grey, as well as the Mini Slash BL-2S 4x4 RTR Short Course Truck available in pink, green, yellow, and orange. Always verify your specific model number matches one of these compatible vehicles before purchasing.
- Will these aluminium carriers fit my Mini Maxx without any modifications? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas parts designed to fit perfectly on compatible Mini Maxx models. As they are made by Traxxas, for Traxxas, they feature factory fit and finish with no modifications required. Simply remove your existing carriers and install these new ones—the installation takes just a few minutes with basic RC tools.
- What's the benefit of upgrading from standard plastic carriers to aluminium? — Aluminium carriers offer several significant advantages over plastic. First, they provide superior strength and rigidity, reducing flex that can compromise suspension geometry and handling. Second, they improve precision by maintaining tighter tolerances, resulting in more accurate suspension alignment and more consistent vehicle behaviour. Third, the premium appearance dramatically upgrades your Mini Maxx's visual presentation. Fourth, the anodised finish provides superior durability and corrosion resistance. These improvements combine to enhance both performance and longevity, making them an excellent investment for any Mini Maxx owner.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Absolutely. These are authentic Traxxas accessories manufactured by Traxxas to the same quality standards as Traxxas vehicles. When you purchase genuine Traxxas parts, you're guaranteed quality, compatibility, and the backing of Traxxas engineering. Many aftermarket alternatives offer similar appearance but lack the precision engineering and quality assurance that comes with genuine Traxxas components.
- Will red-anodised carriers match my Mini Maxx colour? — The red anodised finish provides a striking accent colour that complements most Mini Maxx paint schemes. The anodising creates a vibrant metallic red that catches light beautifully and contrasts well with the body and chassis. If you prefer different colours, Traxxas offers stub axle carriers in other anodised finishes, though red remains the most popular choice for its visual impact and professional appearance.
- How durable is the red anodised finish? — The anodised finish is highly durable and provides excellent protection against corrosion, moisture, and wear. The anodising creates a protective oxide layer that resists damage from dirt, grass, water, and typical outdoor RC use. However, like any anodised finish, it can show minor scratches with heavy use—this is completely normal and doesn't affect performance. The protective properties remain intact even after minor cosmetic wear.
- Do I need any additional parts or tools to install these? — Installation requires only basic RC tools like hex keys (Allen wrenches) and possibly a socket set, depending on your Mini Maxx model. You don't need any additional parts, as these carriers are direct replacements for standard components. If you're unfamiliar with RC maintenance, Traxxas provides assembly guides for your specific model on their website.
