Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, this material offers the perfect balance between lightweight properties and exceptional strength, ensuring your differential mount can handle the extreme stresses of high-speed driving, jumps, and aggressive terrain without deformation or failure.
- Bright Anodised Blue Finish — The striking blue anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, salt damage, and weathering, ensuring your upgrade maintains its appearance and structural integrity through countless sessions of RC action across the UK.
- Maximum Strength Design — This centre differential carrier mount is engineered to provide maximum strength in a critical area of your Sledge's chassis, reducing flex and improving differential stability during cornering, acceleration, and deceleration for more predictable handling and better overall performance.
- Complete Hardware Included — Every mounting bolt, fastener, and piece of hardware required for installation is included in the package, eliminating the need to source additional components and allowing you to proceed with fitting your upgrade immediately.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — As an authentic Traxxas part, this mount is designed with precision engineering and tested to the same demanding standards as all Traxxas products, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with your Sledge platform.
- Chassis Tune-Up Option — Categorised as a chassis tune-up component, this mount allows you to progressively upgrade your RC vehicle, focusing on specific areas where strength and rigidity improvements will yield the most significant performance gains.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas centre differential carrier mount represents precision engineering at its finest, crafted from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium that offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio properties. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is renowned in engineering and manufacturing sectors worldwide for its superior mechanical properties, excellent corrosion resistance, and ability to maintain structural integrity under stress. This particular component serves a critical function within your Sledge's chassis, as the centre differential mount directly supports and secures the centre differential assembly, which is responsible for distributing torque between the front and rear axles during acceleration and cornering. By upgrading to this aluminium mount from stock components, you significantly reduce chassis flex and improve differential stability, resulting in crisper handling response, more consistent traction characteristics, and improved overall predictability during high-speed runs and technical driving. The bright anodised blue finish provides both aesthetic appeal and practical protection against the elements, moisture, and salt exposure—particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts who may drive in varied weather conditions. The inclusion of all mounting hardware means there are no hidden costs or additional parts to source; everything needed for installation is provided in the package. This tune-up component is specifically engineered for the Traxxas Sledge belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck platform, available in multiple colour variants (blue-anodised, red-anodised, green-anodised, orange-anodised, and dark titanium-anodised) to suit your aesthetic preferences and existing colour schemes.
