Whether you're running a Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, Ford F-150, or the TRX-4MT monster variant, these axle covers are engineered to enhance your RC car's stability and climbing ability.

If you're serious about maximising your TRX-4M's capabilities on the rocks, loose terrain, or challenging trail courses, these aluminium axle covers are a must-have upgrade for any RC enthusiast in the UK. The green anodised finish looks fantastic and complements the stock colour schemes of numerous TRX-4M variants, making them an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their ready-to-run RC truck without compromising on style or function.

As a premium upgrade component from Traxxas, these axle covers represent the kind of attention to detail that separates serious RC hobbyists from casual bashers. They're engineered with precision using aircraft-grade materials and manufactured to the exacting standards you'd expect from the world's leading RC brand. These covers are perfect for UK RC enthusiasts who demand quality, durability, and performance from every component they install on their machines.

Key Features

• Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Made from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, these axle covers deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring they can withstand the rigours of intense trail running and rock crawling without adding unnecessary mass to your vehicle.
• Green Anodised Finish — The vibrant green anodised coating not only looks stunning and matches perfectly with multiple TRX-4M colour schemes, but also provides superior corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring your covers maintain their appearance through extended use in varying weather conditions.
• Improved Anti-Rollover Stability — By adding valuable weight to the lowest part of your TRX-4M, these axle covers lower the centre of gravity and dramatically improve anti-rollover stability, particularly beneficial when navigating steep hillsides, rocky terrain, and challenging elevation changes.
• Superior Rock-Climbing Capability — The enhanced weight distribution achieved through these covers significantly improves your TRX-4M's traction and climbing ability, allowing it to conquer steeper obstacles and maintain better control on loose, unpredictable terrain.
• Professional Grade Hardware — Includes eight 1.6x12mm BCS (button cap socket) screws with threadlock pre-applied, ensuring secure installation and preventing vibration-induced loosening during aggressive driving sessions.
• Precision Engineering — Every detail is engineered to Traxxas standards, with tight tolerances and perfect fitment across all compatible TRX-4M platforms, eliminating any guesswork during installation.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX-4M 6061-T6 aluminium axle covers represent a sophisticated approach to vehicle optimisation through strategic weight placement. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is an aerospace-grade material selected specifically for its excellent strength characteristics and superior corrosion resistance compared to standard aluminium grades. This particular alloy maintains structural integrity under stress whilst remaining lightweight, making it ideal for precision RC components. The green anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer, dramatically enhancing resistance to corrosion from moisture, salt, and road debris — a critical advantage for UK RC enthusiasts who frequently operate their vehicles in variable weather conditions. The axle covers come as a pair, meaning you receive two covers to equip both axles of your TRX-4M, creating symmetrical weight distribution that maximises the stability benefits. The included hardware — eight 1.6x12mm button cap socket screws with threadlock — represents Traxxas's commitment to providing everything needed for professional installation. The threadlock is pre-applied to prevent fasteners from loosening under vibration, a common issue with standard hardware on high-performance RC vehicles. These covers are compatible across the entire TRX-4M range, including the Ford Bronco variants (Area 51, Black, White, Red, Orange, and Blue), Land Rover Defender models (Silver, Tan, Black, Green, Light Blue, and Pink), Chevrolet K10 High Trail variants (Red, Black, and Blue), Ford F-150 High Trail options (Blue, Black, and Brown), and both TRX-4MT F150 and K10 Monster Truck versions in their respective colours, demonstrating Traxxas's commitment to universal compatibility across their 1/18 scale trail truck ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these green axle covers fit my TRX-4M Ford Bronco or Land Rover Defender? — Yes, absolutely. These covers are designed as universal upgrades compatible with all TRX-4M variants, including the Ford Bronco (all colour options: Area 51, Black, White, Red, Orange, Blue), Land Rover Defender (Silver, Tan, Black, Green, Light Blue, Pink), Chevrolet K10 High Trail models, Ford F-150 High Trail trucks, and both TRX-4MT Monster Truck variants. They require no modifications and fit perfectly with standard TRX-4M axles.
• What is the actual benefit of adding weight to the lowest part of my RC truck? — Lowering the centre of gravity through strategic weight placement has two major effects on RC vehicle dynamics: first, it dramatically improves anti-rollover stability, making your truck far less likely to tip when navigating steep slopes or making sharp turns on uneven terrain; second, the increased weight over the axles improves traction and climbing ability, allowing your TRX-4M to maintain better grip on loose surfaces and successfully tackle steeper obstacles that might otherwise cause wheel slip.
• Are these covers waterproof and suitable for wet weather RC driving? — The anodised aluminium construction is highly resistant to corrosion and water damage, making these covers excellent for use in damp conditions. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that prevents water from directly contacting the aluminium, and the sealed construction means no water can accumulate inside the covers during wet weather RC sessions.
• Do I need to apply threadlock to the screws myself? — No, the eight 1.6x12mm button cap socket screws come with threadlock pre-applied by Traxxas, ensuring they'll stay secure from the moment you install them. This eliminates the need for you to source threadlock compound separately or spend time preparing the hardware.
• Can I use these covers as a visual upgrade without the performance benefits? — Absolutely. The green anodised finish looks fantastic and complements numerous TRX-4M colour schemes beautifully. Many UK RC enthusiasts install these covers purely for the aesthetic upgrade, and they work perfectly as a styling modification even if you're not specifically chasing the performance benefits of improved stability and climbing ability.
• What is 6061-T6 aluminium and why should I care? — 6061-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy known for exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability. The T6 designation refers to the heat treatment process that gives the material its superior strength characteristics. For RC applications, this means your axle covers will resist bending, denting, and corrosion far better than standard aluminium or plastic alternatives, ensuring they maintain their appearance and structural integrity through years of hard use.
