Key Features

• Extreme Heavy Duty Steel Construction — These wheel hubs are manufactured from premium steel rather than plastic, providing exceptional strength and durability that far exceeds standard components. Steel construction means these hubs can withstand extreme impacts, high-speed collisions, and the repeated stress of aggressive driving without cracking or breaking, making them ideal for competitive racing or intense bashing sessions.
• Set of Four Complete Hubs — This package includes four replacement wheel hubs, providing a complete set for all four wheels of your RC vehicle. Having all four wheels upgraded to the same extreme heavy duty specification ensures consistent performance across your entire machine and eliminates any weak points in the drivetrain.
• Includes 2x9.8mm Pins — Four 2x9.8mm pins are supplied as standard with this package, meaning you have everything needed for a complete installation without requiring additional components. These precision-engineered pins ensure secure wheel attachment and prevent wheel wobbling or drift during operation.
• Compatible with #9080 Upgrade Kit — These hubs are specifically designed for use with the Traxxas #9080 Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit, ensuring perfect compatibility and allowing you to build a fully upgraded extreme heavy duty drivetrain system. Using genuine matched components guarantees optimal performance and reliability.
• 12mm Hex Configuration — The 12mm hex drive is one of the most popular standards in RC vehicle design, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio and broad compatibility across many Traxxas models. This standardised hex size makes wheel changes and maintenance straightforward and hassle-free.
• 6mm Axle Compatible — These hubs are engineered to work specifically with 6mm axles where not supplied as standard, providing an upgrade path for vehicles running this axle specification. This compatibility makes upgrading your existing vehicle straightforward without requiring a complete drivetrain overhaul.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX9069 wheel hubs represent a significant step up in drivetrain durability and reliability for serious RC enthusiasts. Manufactured from high-grade steel throughout, these hubs deliver the kind of impact resistance and longevity that competitive RC racers and aggressive bashers demand. The extreme heavy duty specification means these components have been engineered to withstand significantly greater stresses than standard plastic hubs, making them essential for anyone running a brushless RC truck or buggy at high speeds or on challenging terrain. The 12mm hex drive system provides the perfect balance between strength and practicality, whilst the precision-engineered 2x9.8mm pins ensure wheels stay secure and true even under extreme cornering and acceleration forces. Each hub in this four-pack has been manufactured to exacting Traxxas standards, ensuring consistency across all four wheels and eliminating drivetrain imbalances. For users of popular Traxxas brushless models such as the Rustler 4x4 BL-2S 1/10 4WD RTR, Slash 4X4 BL-2S, Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, Ford Fiesta ST Rally variants, and Ford Raptor R, these hubs represent a direct upgrade that will noticeably improve durability and reduce maintenance downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between these extreme heavy duty hubs and standard Traxxas wheel hubs? — These TRX9069 hubs are manufactured from premium steel, offering substantially greater impact resistance and durability compared to standard plastic alternatives. Standard hubs are more prone to cracking or breaking under extreme stress, whilst these steel hubs are engineered to withstand repeated high-impact collisions, making them ideal for competitive racing or aggressive bashing with brushless RC vehicles. The extreme heavy duty specification means every component has been engineered for maximum durability.
• Which Traxxas RC vehicles are these hubs compatible with? — These wheel hubs are confirmed compatible with the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S, Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL, Ford Raptor R 1/10 Pro Scale 4WD Brushless, Rustler 4x4 BL-2S 1/10 4WD RTR Brushless, Slash 4X4 BL-2S 1/10 4WD RTR Brushless, and Stampede 4X4 HD VXL 1/10 4WD RTR Brushless models. These hubs are designed for use with the #9080 upgrade kit and require 6mm axles. If you're unsure whether your specific model is compatible, please check that it uses 6mm axles and is designed to work with the #9080 kit.
• Do I need anything else to install these wheel hubs? — To use these hubs, you will need the #9080 Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit and a vehicle with 6mm axles. The hubs include all necessary 2x9.8mm pins for attachment, so no additional fasteners are required. If your vehicle doesn't currently use 6mm axles, you may need to upgrade your axle system as part of the #9080 kit installation.
• Are these wheel hubs suitable for beginners? — Whilst these extreme heavy duty hubs are engineered for durability and won't break easily, they are replacement components designed for upgrade purposes rather than first-time purchases. Beginners would typically start with a ready to run RC vehicle that already has appropriate wheel hubs installed. However, if you're upgrading an existing beginner-level Traxxas vehicle to make it more durable and reliable, these hubs are an excellent choice that will reduce maintenance issues and downtime.
• Can I use these hubs with a standard axle if I don't have 6mm axles? — No, these hubs are specifically designed for use with 6mm axles and the #9080 upgrade kit. Standard axles will not be compatible with this hub specification. These hubs are part of an extreme heavy duty upgrade system where all components (including axles, hubs, and support components) work together as an integrated system.
• How many hubs come in this package? — This package includes four wheel hubs, providing a complete set for all four wheels of your RC vehicle. Each hub comes with a 2x9.8mm pin, so you have all necessary fasteners included. This means you can upgrade your entire vehicle's wheel attachment system in one purchase.
• What makes steel hubs better than plastic alternatives for RC trucks? — Steel hubs offer multiple advantages over plastic: superior impact resistance means they won't crack or break under extreme stress, better durability means fewer replacements and less downtime, improved heat dissipation helps maintain component integrity during prolonged high-speed runs, and greater strength allows your RC truck to handle more aggressive driving styles. For anyone running a brushless RC truck at high speeds or on challenging terrain, these advantages are significant.
