Key Features
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Factory-engineered from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminium, the same material used in professional racing and high-performance RC applications, these hubs deliver exceptional strength without excessive weight, making them ideal for demanding RC car enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on quality.

- 17mm Splined Design — The precision-engineered 17mm splined interface provides extra grip on your wheels, ensuring maximum power transfer from your brushless motor to the ground and delivering reliable, consistent performance across all driving conditions in your RC vehicle.

Technical Performance
These Traxxas Wheel Hubs represent a significant step up from standard plastic hubs, delivering the strength and precision engineering that separates professional-grade RC vehicles from entry-level models. Machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, the same material trusted in aerospace and automotive racing applications, these hubs combine exceptional durability with minimal weight penalty. The 17mm splined design is a critical performance feature that increases the contact area between the hub and wheel, distributing forces more effectively and reducing the risk of slippage under hard acceleration or cornering. The green-anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, extends component lifespan, and maintains the hubs' appearance even after intense RC bashing sessions in challenging conditions. Perfect for RC enthusiasts running brushless motors and high-performance setups on their Maxx Slash or WideMaxx platforms, these hubs provide the reliability and performance characteristics demanded by competitive racers and serious hobby-grade RC car owners across the UK. The precision machining ensures tolerances so tight that fitment is guaranteed without any play or wobble, a critical factor in maintaining consistent handling characteristics and tyre contact patch during high-speed corners and aggressive manoeuvres.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas RC models are these wheel hubs compatible with? — These hubs are specifically engineered for compatibility with the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD brushless short course truck (available in Red, Green, Blue, and Rock N Roll colour options) and the Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck (available in Red, Rock N Roll, and Green variants). If you own either of these flagship Traxxas models, these hubs are a plug-and-play upgrade requiring no additional modifications or custom fabrication.
- What is the advantage of 6061-T6 aluminium over plastic wheel hubs? — The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy used in these hubs provides significantly superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to plastic alternatives. Whilst plastic hubs are lighter, they lack the durability for serious RC racing and high-powered brushless setups. Aluminium hubs resist deformation under the extreme forces generated by modern brushless motors, maintain their shape over thousands of impact cycles, and provide better power transfer to your wheels through the 17mm splined design. For any RC enthusiast planning to push their vehicle hard, aluminium hubs are considered the professional standard.
- Will the green-anodised finish match my RC truck's body colour? — The green-anodised finish is designed to colour-match Traxxas bodies and accessories in green, allowing you to create a fully coordinated custom setup. If your Traxxas Maxx Slash or WideMaxx is the green variant, these hubs will integrate seamlessly into your overall aesthetic. Traxxas also offers these hubs in blue, grey, red, and orange anodised finishes, so you can find the perfect colour regardless of your RC truck's colour scheme.
- What is included with this product? — The package includes four aluminium wheel hubs and four 4x13mm screw pins. This is a complete set that allows you to upgrade all four wheel positions on your RC vehicle. No additional hardware or tools are required beyond a standard hex wrench to install them on your existing wheels.
- Are these hubs suitable for beginners? — Whilst these hubs are certainly appropriate for beginners, they are perhaps best appreciated by those running more powerful brushless RC setups. Beginners with lower-powered brushed motor vehicles will see less tangible benefit from the premium aluminium construction. However, if you're investing in a Traxxas Maxx Slash or WideMaxx—both substantial brushless vehicles—these hubs are a worthwhile upgrade that you'll enjoy immediately and benefit from throughout your ownership experience.
- How do I install these wheel hubs on my RC truck? — Installation is straightforward: remove your existing wheel hub from your axle or hub carrier, align the new aluminium hub, and insert the 4x13mm screw pin through the centre. The precise machining ensures a perfect fit with no play or wobble. Most RC enthusiasts can complete the installation on all four wheels in under ten minutes using basic tools.
