Overview
The Traxxas Mount, centre differential carrier, 6061-T6 aluminium (Red-anodised) TRX9584R is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for the Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale brushless electric monster truck. This centre differential carrier mount combines exceptional durability with eye-catching red anodised finish, making it the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand both performance and style from their RC car upgrades. Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your Sledge to its limits or a serious competitor looking to optimise your truck's performance, this precision-engineered component represents genuine Traxxas quality and engineering excellence.
Built from tough 6061-T6 aluminium, this differential mount is engineered to withstand the extreme forces generated during high-speed runs, aggressive cornering, and rough terrain bashing. The bright red anodised finish isn't just about looks — the anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that guards against corrosion and wear, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance and structural integrity through countless hours of RC action. For owners of the Traxxas Sledge, this is an essential tune-up option that combines maximum strength with distinctive visual appeal, allowing you to customise your RC monster truck's appearance while upgrading its chassis performance.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas parts, and this centre differential carrier mount is an authorised Traxxas accessory that fits seamlessly into your Sledge's chassis system. Available in stunning red anodised finish, it's the perfect addition to your RC car spares collection and complements any Sledge build configuration. The mounting hardware is included, making installation straightforward for experienced RC builders and collectors.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, this differential carrier mount delivers the perfect balance between lightweight design and maximum strength, crucial for withstanding the extreme stresses experienced during aggressive 4WD monster truck action and high-performance driving.
- Bright Red Anodised Finish — The eye-catching red anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and protective benefits; anodising creates a hard oxide layer that resists corrosion, salt damage, and general wear, keeping your RC truck looking pristine through seasons of outdoor bashing.
- Precise Engineering — This Traxxas centre differential carrier mount is engineered to exact specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your Sledge and reliable performance that meets the demands of competitive and recreational RC drivers alike.
- Complete Hardware Included — All necessary mounting hardware is supplied with this component, eliminating the need for additional purchases and ensuring you have everything required for proper installation on your Sledge platform.
- Chassis Tune-Up Component — As a dedicated chassis upgrade, this centre differential mount allows you to optimise your Sledge's handling characteristics and differential performance, making it an essential part for tuning enthusiasts.
- Compatible with Multiple Sledge Colours — This red anodised mount works seamlessly with all colour variants of the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck, including blue, orange, green, and red models.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX9584R centre differential carrier mount represents precision engineering at its finest, crafted from 6061-T6 aluminium — a aerospace-grade material prized in the RC industry for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This specific aluminium alloy is hardened and heat-treated to deliver maximum durability whilst maintaining minimal weight penalty, critical for maintaining the Sledge's performance characteristics. The bright red anodised finish undergoes a controlled electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer several micrometres thick, far superior to paint for long-term durability and corrosion resistance in the demanding environment of outdoor RC bashing. Whether you're running your Sledge on rocky terrain, muddy tracks, or sandy desert conditions, the anodised aluminium construction ensures this differential mount will maintain its structural integrity and visual appeal. The precision machining ensures perfect fitment with your Sledge's chassis, maintaining critical tolerances that affect differential performance, turning response, and overall truck stability. Traxxas engineers have designed this component to handle the extreme forces generated by the Sledge's 1/8 scale brushless motor system, providing reliable performance through aggressive acceleration, high-speed cornering, and rough terrain impacts that would compromise lesser components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a centre differential carrier mount and why do I need one? — The centre differential carrier mount is a crucial chassis component that houses and supports your truck's centre differential, which distributes power between the front and rear axles. Upgrading to an aluminium version provides superior strength compared to plastic alternatives, allowing your Sledge to handle more aggressive driving and extreme conditions without differential mount failure. If you're experiencing binding in corners or want to optimise your 4WD truck's handling, a quality differential mount like this TRX9584R is essential.
- Will this red anodised mount fit my Traxxas Sledge? — Yes, the TRX9584R is specifically designed for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck and is compatible with all colour variants including the blue, orange, green, and red models. It's an authorised Traxxas accessory part that maintains perfect fitment and performance characteristics.
- What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than plastic for this application? — 6061-T6 aluminium is heat-treated and hardened to provide exceptional strength whilst remaining lightweight, making it far superior to plastic differential mounts for high-performance RC trucks. Aluminium won't flex or crack under the extreme forces generated by your Sledge's brushless motor and aggressive 4WD driving, ensuring consistent differential performance and preventing costly damage to your truck's drivetrain.
- Is this component suitable for beginners or only experienced RC drivers? — Whilst this is a replacement component rather than a complete vehicle, it's suitable for any Sledge owner looking to upgrade their chassis. If you're comfortable with basic RC maintenance and have experience with Traxxas trucks, installation is straightforward. We recommend consulting your Sledge manual for proper installation procedures, and our team at RC Model Shop is always available to provide guidance.
- How does the red anodised finish compare to other colour options? — The red anodised finish provides the same protective benefits as other anodised colours, including superior corrosion resistance and durability. The choice between red, green, dark titanium, and other available finishes is purely aesthetic, allowing you to personalise your Sledge to match your preferred colour scheme. Each anodised finish offers identical performance characteristics.
- What is the difference between this aluminium mount and the standard plastic version? — Aluminium differential mounts provide significantly greater strength and rigidity compared to standard plastic versions, preventing flex and deformation during extreme driving. This results in more predictable differential engagement, improved turning response, and better durability for serious RC bashers and competitors. If you're upgrading from plastic components, you'll notice improved handling precision and reduced risk of catastrophic differential mount failure.
