Overview
Keep your Traxxas Sledge performing at its absolute best with the Traxxas Ball Bearing Kit (TRX9594), the complete bearing replacement set engineered to restore your 1/8 scale brushless monster truck to peak performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or a weekend basher who demands reliability from your RC car, this comprehensive bearing kit is an essential maintenance item that ensures smooth, responsive handling and maximum efficiency. The Traxxas Sledge is renowned for its extreme performance capabilities, and maintaining fresh bearings is crucial to keeping that monster truck running at peak efficiency.
This bearing kit represents a straightforward approach to restoration and maintenance—rather than hunting for individual replacement bearings, Traxxas has thoughtfully compiled every bearing required by your Sledge into one complete, organised package. When your bearings begin to show signs of wear from intensive bashing, racing, or everyday use, swapping them out with factory-fresh replacements is one of the most effective ways to reclaim that smooth power delivery and responsive steering that makes the Sledge such a formidable ready-to-run RC machine. Every bearing in this kit has been manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability.
Available through RC Model Shop, your trusted UK RC retailer, this bearing kit comes highly recommended for any Sledge owner looking to maintain their investment or undertake a comprehensive restoration. The kit's thoughtful packaging with individual compartments and identification labels makes the installation process straightforward, even for those new to RC maintenance.
Key Features
- All-Inclusive Bearing Kit — This comprehensive kit contains every bearing required for a complete Sledge rebuild, eliminating the need to source individual bearing components from multiple suppliers. This saves time, money and ensures perfect compatibility across your entire machine.
- Factory-Fresh Replacements — Each bearing in this kit is manufactured new at the Traxxas factory to the same exacting specifications as original equipment, guaranteeing perfect fit, function and longevity in your brushless monster truck.
- Individual Box Compartments — The bearings are organised into separate compartments within the packaging, preventing them from becoming mixed up or lost during storage or installation, and making the entire replacement process far more organised and efficient.
- Handy Identification Label — A clearly printed label inside the box helps you quickly identify each bearing, measure components and understand exactly where each part needs to be installed on your Sledge, removing any guesswork from the maintenance process.
- Peak Performance Restoration — Worn bearings create friction, sluggishness and unpredictable handling characteristics. Replacing them with this kit immediately restores that tight, responsive feel that makes the Sledge such an exciting RC car to drive.
- Complete Sledge Compatibility — This bearing kit is specifically engineered for the entire Traxxas Sledge range, including all colour variants (Blue, Orange, Green and Red) of the 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck family.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Sledge is a high-performance 1/8 scale 4WD brushless monster truck that demands premium components to operate at its best. The bearings in this kit are precision-manufactured steel or sealed bearing assemblies designed to handle the extreme forces generated by brushless power delivery, 4WD traction and the intense cornering loads experienced during high-speed bashing and competitive RC driving. Traxxas bearings are engineered using premium materials and manufacturing tolerances that rival industrial-grade components, yet they're designed specifically for the unique demands of RC vehicles where size, weight and performance must be perfectly balanced. Each bearing is precisely sized to fit the Sledge's drive shafts, differentials, wheel hubs and suspension pivots, ensuring smooth rotation with minimal friction loss. The sealed or rubber-shielded bearings help exclude dirt and moisture, extending service life even when you're driving your RC car UK in damp conditions or dusty environments. Whether you're running your Sledge on carpet, tarmac, grass or dirt, these bearings will maintain their performance characteristics across an enormous range of operating temperatures and conditions. The kit's completeness means you can perform a comprehensive overhaul in a single session, returning your truck to like-new handling dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this bearing kit suitable for a beginner RC user? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst bearing replacement is a maintenance task rather than a first-time purchase, the kit's organisation and labelling system make it straightforward for anyone to understand. If you own a Sledge and want to maintain it properly, this kit is designed to be accessible even if you haven't performed bearing replacements before. Many UK RC retailers recommend this as essential maintenance every 12-24 months depending on usage intensity.
- What Traxxas Sledge models are compatible with this bearing kit? — The TRX9594 bearing kit is specifically designed for the complete Traxxas Sledge range, including the TRX95096-4 in all colour variants: Blue (TRX95096-4-BLUE), Orange (TRX95096-4-ORNG), Green (TRX95096-4-GRN), and Red (TRX95096-4-RED). These are all 1/8 scale 4WD brushless electric monster trucks.
- Why should I replace bearings in my Sledge? — Over time, bearings in any RC car accumulate wear from dirt, moisture and the constant rotating loads placed upon them. Worn bearings create friction that reduces efficiency, dulls steering response and places extra strain on your brushless motor and batteries. Replacing them with this factory-fresh kit immediately restores the tight, responsive handling your Sledge had when new, and helps prevent damage to other drivetrain components.
- How often should I replace the bearings in my RC Sledge? — This depends entirely on usage intensity. A casual weekend basher might perform bearing maintenance every 18-24 months, whilst a competitive racer might do it every 3-6 months. If you notice your Sledge isn't steering as sharply, drives slower than it should, or if you hear grinding or grinding sounds when the wheels turn, it's time to refresh your bearings with this kit.
- Are these sealed bearings or rubber-shielded? — Traxxas uses a combination of bearing types optimised for different locations on the Sledge. The kit includes the exact mix required for your machine, with some sealed or rubber-shielded to keep out dirt and moisture in high-exposure areas. The identification label helps you understand which type goes where.
- Is this better than sourcing individual bearings myself? — Yes, considerably. Sourcing individual bearings from multiple suppliers risks incompatibility, wastes time and often costs more than purchasing this complete kit. Traxxas has engineered this package to include precisely the right bearing for every location, eliminating guesswork.
