Overview
The Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Rear Stub Axle Carriers in green (TRX9050G) are precision-engineered replacement suspension components designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand maximum durability and performance from their Traxxas 4WD models. Whether you're bashing at high speed or competing in organised RC events across the UK, these heavy-duty carriers provide the structural integrity needed to handle extreme driving conditions, rough terrain, and aggressive handling. These carriers are essential upgrade components for anyone looking to enhance their RC car's suspension reliability and longevity.
As part of Traxxas's renowned Extreme Heavy Duty upgrade series, these rear stub axle carriers represent a significant step up from standard suspension parts, offering reinforced construction that withstands the punishment of serious RC driving. If you own a Rustler 4X4, Slash 4X4, Stampede 4X4, or Hoss 4X4 model and want to transform your vehicle's off-road capability, these carriers deliver the fortress-like strength required for consistent performance. The green colour matches perfectly with Traxxas green-coloured models, maintaining aesthetic consistency whilst providing functional excellence.
Built to the exacting standards RC Model Shop customers expect from an authorised Traxxas retailer, these suspension components are manufactured to original equipment specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing RC setup.
Key Features
- Extreme Heavy Duty Construction — These stub axle carriers feature reinforced material design and engineering that exceeds standard suspension specifications, delivering substantially improved durability for high-impact driving, jumps, and aggressive cornering that would stress conventional carriers to failure.
- Left and Right Pair — The package includes both left and right carriers, providing a complete rear suspension upgrade solution without requiring separate purchases, allowing you to refresh both sides of your RC vehicle's rear axle geometry simultaneously.
- Compatibility with 9080 Upgrade Kit — These carriers are specifically engineered for use with the Traxxas #9080 Extreme Heavy Duty upgrade kit system, ensuring seamless integration with other upgraded components and creating a cohesive, matched suspension architecture that performs as an integrated unit.
- Precision Hinge Pin System — Supplied with two 3x41mm hinge pins (one per carrier), these precision-ground pins create rock-solid pivots for the suspension links, eliminating play and wobble that can develop in standard pins during intense driving sessions.
- Ball Cup Screws Included — Two 3x20mm ball cup screws (BCS) are provided to secure the hinge pins and create reliable suspension connection points, eliminating the need for separate fastener purchases and ensuring you have everything required for installation.
- Green Colour Finish — The distinctive green anodised finish provides visual appeal while also offering protection against corrosion and wear, matching the aesthetics of green-series Traxxas models including the Rustler 4X4 HD VXL and Stampede 4X4 HD VXL.
- OEM Quality Manufacturing — As genuine Traxxas components produced to original equipment manufacturer standards, these carriers deliver the precision fit, material quality, and performance consistency that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Rear Stub Axle Carriers represent a significant engineering advancement over standard suspension components found in entry-level RC vehicles. The reinforced construction utilises high-quality materials selected specifically to withstand the extreme forces generated during aggressive driving, high-speed runs, and challenging terrain navigation. When used as part of the complete #9080 upgrade kit system, these carriers work in harmony with other heavy-duty components to create a suspension architecture capable of handling the demands of serious RC bashers and competitors across the United Kingdom. The 3x41mm hinge pins provide precision pivoting action with minimal lateral play, whilst the 3x20mm ball cup screws secure the entire assembly with the kind of dependable clamping force that keeps suspension geometry consistent even after hours of continuous driving. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC tools, making this an achievable upgrade for experienced RC enthusiasts. The carriers are specifically engineered for rear axle application on 1/10 scale Traxxas models including the Rustler 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 HD VXL, Slash 4X4, Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL, Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, and Hoss 4X4 VXL platforms, with no compatibility with standard (non-upgrade kit) suspension architecture. The green anodised finish provides durability against UV degradation, moisture exposure, and the abrasive effects of dirt and sand encountered during outdoor RC driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these carriers compatible with my standard Traxxas 4X4 suspension setup? — No, these extreme heavy duty carriers are specifically designed for use with the Traxxas #9080 upgrade kit only and will not fit standard suspension parts found on non-upgraded models. They require the matching heavy-duty suspension architecture from the upgrade series to function correctly and benefit from their reinforced design.
- Which Traxxas RC models are these carriers suitable for? — These rear stub axle carriers are compatible with the Rustler 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 HD VXL, Slash 4X4, Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL, Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, and Hoss 4X4 VXL 1/10 scale brushless 4WD models. Verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure compatibility with your RC vehicle.
- Do I need any additional hardware to install these carriers? — The package includes all essential components needed for installation, including the hinge pins and ball cup screws. You'll need standard RC maintenance tools such as hex wrenches and a screwdriver, but no additional fasteners or hardware purchases are required for basic installation.
- What makes these carriers heavier duty than standard parts? — The extreme heavy duty carriers feature reinforced material construction and enhanced structural geometry designed to resist bending, cracking, and failure under the extreme forces generated by high-speed driving, large jumps, and aggressive off-road conditions that would stress standard carriers beyond their design limits.
- Can I use these with my existing suspension or do I need the full upgrade kit? — These carriers are engineered specifically for the #9080 upgrade kit architecture and cannot be mixed with standard suspension components. A complete upgrade installation is necessary to achieve the full benefits of heavy-duty suspension performance.
- What colour options are available? — These carriers are currently available in green, which perfectly matches Traxxas green-series models. The green anodised finish provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use.
