Key Features
- 4x9x4mm Ball Bearings (2 pieces) — These precision ball bearings are engineered to minimise friction and wear within the motor assembly, allowing the rotor to spin with minimal resistance and maximum efficiency. Quality bearings directly impact motor longevity and power delivery, making them one of the most important components to maintain or upgrade in any brushless RC motor.
- 2x6mm CCS Screws with Threadlock (2 pieces) — These hardened steel fasteners with integrated threadlock compound ensure that critical motor assembly connections remain secure even during the most demanding RC driving conditions. Threadlock prevents vibration-induced loosening, which could compromise motor integrity and performance during high-speed runs or competitive racing.
- Front Shims (2 pieces) — These precision shims allow you to adjust the internal clearance and alignment of motor components, enabling fine-tuning of performance and reduction of friction for maximum efficiency. Proper shimming ensures balanced rotor rotation and extends bearing life significantly.
- Genuine Traxxas Components — Every part in this kit is manufactured by Traxxas to original specifications, guaranteeing compatibility and quality that meets the standards of Traxxas RC vehicles worldwide. Using genuine parts protects your investment and maintains warranty coverage where applicable.
- Complete Maintenance Solution — This all-in-one rebuild kit eliminates the need to source individual components from multiple suppliers, saving time and ensuring you have exactly what you need for motor maintenance or repair.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Velineon 380 rebuild kit represents precision engineering at its finest, incorporating components manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure reliable performance in demanding RC applications. The 4x9x4mm ball bearings are precision-grade components that support the motor's rotating assembly whilst minimising mechanical friction, which directly translates to more efficient power transfer from the brushless windings to your RC vehicle's drive system. The 2x6mm CCS fasteners with integrated threadlock provide secure fastening without requiring additional assembly steps, whilst their hardened steel construction ensures they can withstand the vibration and stress encountered during aggressive driving, whether on tarmac, gravel, or dirt surfaces. The front shims enable critical internal adjustments that optimise rotor clearance and alignment, factors that directly influence motor efficiency, heat generation, and component longevity. This rebuild kit is specifically engineered for the Velineon 380 motor platform, which is found in Traxxas 1/16th scale brushless RC vehicles including the E-Revo VXL series. The engineering precision behind each component ensures that your brushless motor delivers consistent performance and responsiveness, whether you're enjoying casual recreational RC driving or pursuing more serious competitive racing objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas RC vehicles is this rebuild kit compatible with? — This kit is specifically designed for the Velineon 380 brushless motor platform. It is compatible with Traxxas E-Revo VXL 1/16 4x4 models, including the RTR versions in blue and purple colour schemes, and the Traxxas Motor, Velineon Mini Maxx 380 brushless motor for 1/16th scale vehicles. Always verify your vehicle's motor model before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- When should I use this rebuild kit? — This kit is ideal for routine maintenance on older motors showing signs of wear, as a preventative maintenance measure after many hours of use, or as a repair solution if your motor is experiencing reduced performance, grinding noises, or rough rotation. Regular bearing replacement and shim adjustment are key to maintaining peak brushless motor performance in RC cars.
- Do I need any special tools to install these components? — Installation of these components typically requires basic RC maintenance skills and standard tools such as hex wrenches and screwdrivers. If you are unfamiliar with brushless motor maintenance, we recommend consulting your vehicle's manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts at your local RC club or specialist retailer in the UK.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst the rebuild kit itself contains beginner-friendly components, motor disassembly and reassembly is considered an intermediate to advanced maintenance task. Beginners should consider having their motor serviced by an experienced technician or learning the process from a mentor before attempting their first rebuild. The components themselves are straightforward to install once the motor is opened, but accessing them requires care and attention to detail.
- How often should I replace these components? — The replacement frequency depends on your driving style, frequency of use, and environmental conditions. Aggressive driving on rough terrain accelerates wear, whilst casual recreational driving allows longer intervals between maintenance. Many RC enthusiasts rebuild their motors annually or after 20-30 hours of use to maintain optimal performance and prevent component failure during critical moments.
- What is the difference between this and other motor rebuild kits? — This is a genuine Traxxas rebuild kit engineered specifically for the Velineon 380 motor platform using Traxxas' original specifications and materials. Genuine kits guarantee exact compatibility and performance standards, whereas third-party alternatives may not meet these specifications. For serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability, genuine parts offer superior peace of mind.
