These replacement carriers are engineered for the most demanding bashing sessions, high-speed runs, and competitive racing scenarios where standard suspension components simply cannot withstand the punishment.

Technical Performance
These rear stub axle carriers represent Traxxas's commitment to suspension durability and performance in 1/10 scale 4WD vehicles. The extreme heavy-duty designation indicates reinforced internal geometry, thicker walls, and premium grade materials that significantly increase resistance to bending, cracking, and failure compared to standard components. The carriers are precision-manufactured to maintain exact tolerances that keep your suspension geometry true even under extreme stress, ensuring your RC car maintains predictable handling characteristics whether you're blasting across a dirt track, jumping off massive berms, or navigating rocky terrain. The anodised blue finish not only looks professional but provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and the inevitable mud and water exposure that comes with serious RC car UK bashing. The inclusion of both the 3x41mm hinge pins and 3x20mm ball cup screws means the carriers are ready to bolt straight onto your vehicle without hunting through your spare parts bin. These components work in harmony with the #9080 upgrade kit to create a completely bulletproof rear suspension that distributes loads more effectively and keeps wheel alignment stable through corners and over obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions

They are replacement parts for some models and accessory upgrade parts for others.
- Are these carriers compatible with standard Traxxas suspension parts? — No, these carriers are specifically engineered for the 9080-series upgrade kit only and will not fit standard suspension components. They feature different geometry and mounting interfaces optimised for the heavy-duty upgrade system, so upgrading requires committing to the full #9080 kit.
- What makes these extreme heavy duty rather than standard carriers? — The extreme heavy-duty designation means these carriers feature reinforced internal design, thicker material sections, and enhanced strength characteristics that dramatically increase their ability to withstand impacts, lateral loads, and stress that would damage standard carriers. They are ideal for serious bashers and racers who demand maximum durability.
- Do I need anything else to install these carriers? — The hinge pins and ball cup screws are included with these carriers, so you have everything needed for installation. However, you will need to be using the #9080 Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit as the foundation for your suspension system, as these carriers only work with that specific kit.
- Will these carriers improve my RC car's handling and durability? — Yes, when installed as part of the complete #9080 upgrade kit, these carriers significantly improve durability by resisting damage from impacts and rough terrain. They also maintain more consistent suspension geometry under load, which can improve handling consistency, especially during aggressive driving or high-speed runs.
- What colour options are available for these carriers? — The Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Rear Stub Axle Carriers are available in blue (TRX9050X) and grey (TRX9050-GRAY), allowing you to choose the finish that best matches your RC car's colour scheme.
