Technical Performance
The Traxxas wheelie bar axle represents a pinnacle of RC engineering where material science meets practical performance. Crafted from 6061-T6 aluminium, this axle benefits from the material's exceptional properties: superior strength that resists bending under the repeated stress of wheelies, excellent machinability that ensures precise tolerances, and outstanding corrosion resistance that keeps your upgrade looking fresh regardless of weather conditions across the UK. The anodising process applies a hard, wear-resistant oxide layer that's significantly thicker than standard anodising, creating a finish that can withstand the rigours of regular RC driving without chipping, fading, or oxidising. At just 1 piece per package, this axle is sized and engineered specifically for the 9460-series wheelie bar system, ensuring perfect fitment with zero modifications required. The two included 3x12mm button cap screws feature threadlock compound, a professional-grade fastening solution that prevents vibration-induced loosening—a critical consideration when your wheelie bar experiences the constant up-and-down movement that occurs during aggressive driving or performing sustained wheelies. This attention to detail, from the choice of materials through to the inclusion of threadlocked fasteners, demonstrates why Traxxas remains the trusted choice for RC enthusiasts across the United Kingdom seeking components that deliver both performance and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this wheelie bar axle suitable for all Traxxas RC vehicles? — This axle is specifically designed as an upgrade for the 9460-series wheelie bar system. Before purchasing, verify that your RC vehicle is compatible with the 9460-series wheelie bar, as compatibility varies across different Traxxas models including monster trucks, truggies, and short course trucks.
- What advantages does the 6061-T6 aluminium offer over standard axles? — 6061-T6 aluminium is an aerospace-grade material that offers superior strength compared to cast alternatives, excellent resistance to bending and flexing, lighter weight than steel, and outstanding corrosion resistance. These properties combine to deliver a wheelie bar axle that maintains its structural integrity through countless wheelies whilst resisting damage from moisture and UV exposure.
- Will the green anodised finish scratch or fade with regular use? — The anodised finish is a hard, protective oxide layer that's significantly more durable than paint or standard plating. Whilst any finish can eventually show signs of wear with heavy use, the anodising on Traxxas components is engineered to resist fading, chipping, and oxidation far better than lesser-quality finishes, maintaining its appearance for years of regular RC driving.
- Are the screws included with threadlock already applied? — Yes, the two 3x12mm button cap screws are supplied with threadlock compound pre-applied. This professional-grade fastening solution prevents the screws from loosening due to vibration during driving, eliminating a common maintenance issue and ensuring your wheelie bar remains securely attached without requiring re-tightening.
- Can I use this axle as a direct replacement for a damaged standard axle? — This axle is designed as an upgrade for the 9460-series wheelie bar, offering improved strength and appearance compared to standard components. If you have a damaged original axle, this Traxxas upgrade is an excellent choice that will enhance both performance and aesthetics whilst providing a more durable solution.
- What tools do I need to install this wheelie bar axle? — Installation requires basic RC tools: a hex key or Allen wrench in the appropriate size for the button cap screws, and potentially a small flathead screwdriver for any removal work on your existing wheelie bar. Most RC enthusiasts in the UK already have these standard tools in their workshop.
