TRX9787-GRAY

Overview

Transform your TRX-4M RC crawler with the Traxxas Axle Cover in Dark Titanium-anodised 6061-T6 aluminium. Whether you're a dedicated trail enthusiast, a competitive rock-climbing competitor, or simply looking to enhance your ready to run RC car UK experience, these precision-engineered axle covers offer both stunning visual appeal and genuine performance benefits. The sleek dark titanium finish gives your TRX-4M a premium, high-tech appearance that stands out on any trail or obstacle course.

These aren't just aesthetic upgrades — Traxxas has engineered these covers to improve your vehicle's handling dynamics and climbing capability. By adding valuable weight to the lowest point of your TRX-4M chassis, the axle covers work to lower your centre of gravity, which directly translates to improved anti-rollover stability during challenging climbs and aggressive terrain navigation. For anyone serious about maximising their TRX-4M's potential, whether you're tackling rocky outcrops, steep inclines, or technical obstacle courses, this is a worthwhile investment that combines style with substance.

As an authorised Traxxas dealer and trusted UK RC retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas components that are designed and manufactured to the highest standards. These axle covers are precision CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium, ensuring durability and reliability that will withstand the rigours of serious trail use.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Made from tough, aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, these axle covers are engineered for durability and longevity even under extreme trail conditions and challenging rock-climbing scenarios. This material choice ensures the covers won't crack, bend, or degrade under the stresses of serious RC use.
• Dark Titanium-Anodised Finish — The professional dark titanium anodised coating not only looks stunning and adds premium aesthetic appeal to your TRX-4M, but also provides superior corrosion resistance and protection against the elements, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance and protective properties over time.
• Improved Anti-Rollover Stability — By strategically adding weight to the lowest part of your TRX-4M's chassis, these covers lower the vehicle's centre of gravity, which significantly improves stability during aggressive climbs, corner navigation, and when tackling steep terrain or unstable surfaces.
• Enhanced Rock-Climbing Capability — The improved weight distribution and stability characteristics directly translate to superior rock-climbing performance, allowing your TRX-4M to tackle more aggressive obstacles with greater confidence and control.
• Includes Mounting Hardware — Each set includes eight 1.6x12mm BCS socket head cap screws with threadlock pre-applied, ensuring secure, vibration-resistant installation that will keep your covers firmly attached during intense trail action.
• Precision Fit — These covers are specifically engineered for the TRX-4M platform across all variants, including Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, and Ford F-150 models, as well as the TRX-4MT Monster Truck variants, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Axle Cover represents the pinnacle of detail engineering that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the RC enthusiast community. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium — the same material used in aerospace and high-performance automotive applications — these covers deliver exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics whilst maintaining the precision tolerances required for perfect fitment on your TRX-4M. The dark titanium anodising process creates a hardened surface layer that resists scratches, corrosion, and UV damage, protecting your investment against the elements whether you're running on UK trails, in parks, or on rocky terrain. The engineering philosophy behind adding weight to the lowest chassis point is fundamentally sound: lowering the centre of gravity improves stability during articulation, reduces the likelihood of rollovers on steep climbs, and enhances the vehicle's natural balance during dynamic manoeuvres. The included 1.6x12mm BCS socket head cap screws feature factory-applied threadlock, eliminating the need to purchase separate threadlock compound and ensuring that vibration from trail use won't loosen your installation. This is the kind of attention to detail that distinguishes genuine Traxxas components from aftermarket alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these axle covers fit my TRX-4M? — Yes, these covers are engineered specifically for all variants of the Traxxas TRX-4M platform, including the Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, Ford F-150, and the TRX-4MT Monster Truck models. Simply verify your model number against the compatibility list to confirm fitment.
• What performance benefits will I notice after installation? — You'll experience noticeably improved anti-rollover stability, particularly when climbing steep obstacles or navigating technical terrain. The lowered centre of gravity also enhances overall handling and makes the vehicle feel more planted and controlled during aggressive driving. These benefits are especially noticeable on rocky, uneven ground where stability is critical.
• Are these covers difficult to install? — Installation is straightforward and requires only a basic 1.5mm hex wrench (Allen key) to drive the included socket head cap screws. Since threadlock is pre-applied to the screws, you simply need to position the covers on your axle and tighten the fasteners firmly. The entire installation process typically takes just a few minutes per axle.
• Will the dark titanium finish show scratches? — The anodised finish is designed to resist scratches and wear, however like any external component subjected to trail use, minor scuffs may eventually appear with heavy use. This is entirely normal and does not affect the protective properties or functional performance of the covers. The anodising provides excellent corrosion resistance regardless of appearance.
• What makes 6061-T6 aluminium special? — 6061-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy prized for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior machinability. It's the same material used in aircraft structures and high-performance automotive components, making it ideal for precision RC components that must withstand repeated stress and environmental exposure.
• Can I use these covers with aftermarket axles? — These covers are specifically designed for OEM Traxxas axles on TRX-4M models. If you have upgraded to alternative aftermarket axles, fitment may be compromised. We recommend using genuine Traxxas axles for optimal fit and performance.
• Do I need any special tools for installation? — You'll need a 1.5mm hex wrench (Allen key) which is a standard tool in most RC enthusiast toolkits. No special tools, presses, or removal of other components is required. The installation is completely straightforward even for newcomers to RC tuning.
