Key Features

• Extreme Heavy Duty Construction — These carriers are engineered to be significantly more robust than standard components, meaning they can handle aggressive driving, high-speed impacts, and sustained performance without flexing or failing, which is critical for maintaining suspension geometry under stress.
• Left and Right Pair Included — You receive both rear carriers in a single package, eliminating the need to purchase multiple items and ensuring perfectly matched components for balanced suspension performance on both sides of your RC vehicle.
• Precision Hinge Pin Compatibility — The package includes two 3x41mm hinge pins specifically engineered for these carriers, ensuring smooth pivot action and proper suspension movement that directly translates to better handling and cornering performance on your RC car or truck.
• Grade-Specific Hardware — Included are two 3x20mm ball cup screws (BCS), precision fasteners that secure the suspension links with absolute reliability, preventing the kind of loose components that can ruin an RC driving experience.
• Designed for #9080 Upgrade Kit Only — These carriers are engineered as part of Traxxas's advanced suspension system and will only fit with the 9080-series upgrade kit, ensuring you get the exact performance benefits Traxxas engineers specified for this configuration.
• Genuine Traxxas Engineering — Manufactured by Traxxas, the world's most recognised RC brand, these carriers benefit from decades of suspension development and real-world testing, meaning you're buying proven performance rather than guessing on unknown brands.
• Professional Grey Finish — The aggressive grey colour scheme looks purposeful and professional while also providing excellent visual contrast, making it easy to inspect your suspension components for wear or damage during maintenance.

Technical Performance

These extreme heavy duty rear stub axle carriers represent the pinnacle of Traxxas suspension engineering. Manufactured from reinforced materials specifically chosen for their ability to resist bending and cracking under extreme loads, these carriers are significantly stronger than standard suspension components. The engineering philosophy behind the extreme heavy duty series focuses on maintaining suspension geometry precision even under the most aggressive driving conditions—high-speed cornering, heavy landings from jumps, and sustained bashful driving. The inclusion of precision 3x41mm hinge pins ensures smooth, consistent suspension movement without slop or wobble, directly translating to predictable handling characteristics. The 3x20mm ball cup screws represent Traxxas's attention to detail, as these fasteners are engineered to maintain their grip without working loose during hours of driving. These carriers are specifically engineered for compatibility with the #9080 upgrade kit, meaning they're part of a carefully designed system where every component works in harmony. For RC enthusiasts with Traxxas 1/10 scale models including the Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 models, and Slash 4X4 variants, upgrading to extreme heavy duty carriers transforms suspension reliability from an afterthought into a genuine strength of your vehicle setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these extreme heavy duty carriers fit my standard Traxxas Rustler or Slash? — No, these carriers are specifically designed for use with the #9080 upgrade kit only and will not fit standard suspension parts. They're engineered as part of an advanced suspension system, so compatibility is limited to vehicles using this specific upgrade kit. If you're unsure whether your model uses the 9080 kit, check your manual or contact our team at RC Model Shop for clarification.
• What models are these carriers compatible with? — These extreme heavy duty rear stub axle carriers are compatible with the Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 HD VXL, Rustler 4X4, Slash 4X4 Ultimate, Slash 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4, Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, and the Ford Raptor R 1:10 Pro Scale 4WD Brushless Replica Truck, provided they're equipped with the #9080 upgrade kit.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are authentic Traxxas extreme heavy duty carriers manufactured by Traxxas themselves. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're buying genuine components backed by Traxxas quality standards and our authorised dealer guarantee, ensuring you receive legitimate products with proper warranty coverage.
• Why should I upgrade to extreme heavy duty carriers? — Standard carriers are adequate for casual bashing, but extreme heavy duty carriers are engineered for significantly greater durability under aggressive driving conditions. They resist bending and maintain suspension geometry under stress, prevent handling inconsistencies caused by flex, require less frequent replacement if you bash hard, and maintain the precision tuning of your suspension system even during high-speed driving or heavy landings.
• What's the difference between these and standard carriers? — Extreme heavy duty carriers use reinforced materials and superior engineering to resist bending and deformation under stress, whereas standard carriers can flex under aggressive driving, altering suspension geometry and handling characteristics. If you frequently do jumps, high-speed cornering, or rough terrain driving, the extreme heavy duty option is worth the investment for reliability and consistent performance.
• Do I need to replace anything else when upgrading to these carriers? — These carriers come with the necessary hinge pins and ball cup screws, so you have everything needed for installation on compatible models with the #9080 upgrade kit. However, it's always good practice to inspect other suspension components at the same time to ensure your entire system is in peak condition.
