Key Features
- Billet 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The carriers are manufactured from premium billet aluminium, which provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring your RC monster truck can handle the demands of aggressive off-road driving without unnecessary weight penalty.
- Left and Right Pair Included — This product includes both left and right stub axle carriers, providing complete coverage for your front or rear axle setup, so you have everything needed to upgrade both sides of your Sledge in one purchase.
- Brilliantly Anodised Finish — The anodised coating adds vibrant colour options to your RC car, creating a striking visual appearance whilst simultaneously providing corrosion protection and durability that standard painted finishes cannot match.
- High-Contrast Laser Etched TRX Logo — Each carrier features a precision laser etched Traxxas logo that creates excellent visual contrast and demonstrates the quality craftsmanship that goes into these genuine OEM spares.
- Improved Appearance and Ruggedness — Beyond the performance benefits, these aluminium carriers significantly enhance the visual presence of your Sledge, giving it a more professional, competition-grade appearance compared to standard plastic components.
- Precision Engineering for Superior Control — The precision manufacturing of these stub axle carriers ensures tight tolerances and consistent performance, directly improving handling characteristics and vehicle control during high-speed runs and technical off-road sections.
- Kingpin Bushings Included — The package includes four kingpin bushings (4x) which are essential wear items that require regular replacement, ensuring you have everything needed for complete installation and maintenance.
- Threadlock Screws Provided — Two 3x20 mm screws with factory-applied threadlock are included, ensuring secure fastening and preventing vibration-induced loosening during intense driving sessions.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX9552 stub axle carriers represent the pinnacle of RC monster truck chassis engineering. Built from 6061-T6 billet aluminium—the same material used in aerospace and professional motorsport applications—these carriers deliver uncompromising strength and precision where it matters most on your Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD brushless electric monster truck. The billet construction process removes material from a solid block, resulting in optimal grain structure and zero casting flaws, which translates to superior reliability under the extreme forces generated during high-speed bashing and competitive racing. The 6061-T6 alloy specification indicates a heat-treated aluminium variant that offers exceptional strength characteristics whilst maintaining workability for precision machining. These stub axle carriers directly affect your RC vehicle's steering response, caster angle geometry, and overall suspension geometry, making them critical components for achieving optimal handling balance. The precision tolerances ensure that kingpin bushings maintain consistent fit and function, which directly impacts steering feel and responsiveness. The anodised finish provides hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring these carriers will maintain their appearance and structural integrity even after extended exposure to water, mud, and harsh outdoor conditions typical of UK RC bashings and competitions.
