TRX4954X

Overview

The Traxxas Wheel Hubs, hex, 6061-T6 aluminium (Blue) (4 pcs) / axle pins (2.5x10mm) (4 pcs) TRX4954X represents a premium upgrade for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicles with professional-grade aluminium wheel centres. Part of Traxxas's renowned Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System, these blue-anodised hex wheel hubs deliver the perfect balance of style, strength and durability. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher, these aluminium wheel hubs are engineered to transform the appearance and performance of your Traxxas Maxx Slash or Unlimited Desert Racer with authentic beadlock styling.

The Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System represents the easiest and most advanced way to add aluminium beadlock style to your RC vehicle without the complexity of traditional wheel building. By combining tough 6061-T6 aluminium wheel centres with modular beadlock rings and pre-glued belted tyres mounted on durable nylon wheels, Traxxas has created a system that delivers both the visual appeal of custom aluminium wheels and the practical strength needed for serious RC bashers. The result is unmatched resistance to bending and superior tyre-holding strength compared to conventional plastic wheel options available in the ready to run RC market.

These blue aluminium hex wheel hubs are part of a fully customisable modular wheel system that allows you to express your individual style whilst maintaining the durability and performance Traxxas is recognised for worldwide. The Pro-Scale design philosophy prioritises ease of maintenance, meaning you can swap out worn tyres for fresh new rubber without the hassle and mess associated with traditional tyre gluing procedures. For RC hobbyists seeking premium wheel upgrades with authentic styling and proven durability, the TRX4954X offers exceptional value.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These wheel hubs are crafted from tough 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, a material recognised for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and ability to resist damage from the small impacts that occur during aggressive RC driving and bashing sessions.
• Eye-Catching Blue Anodised Colour — The vibrant blue anodised finish not only looks stunning but also provides a protective oxide layer that guards the aluminium against corrosion and wear, keeping your wheels looking fresh for longer.
• Hex Drive Design — The hexagonal bore design ensures a secure fit with standard RC vehicle axle shafts, providing reliable power transmission and eliminating wobble or slippage during hard driving.
• Four-Piece Set — This package includes four individual wheel hubs, giving you a complete set for all four corners of your RC vehicle without the need to purchase multiple packs.
• Modular Wheel System Compatibility — These hubs are part of Traxxas's modular Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System, meaning you can customise your wheels with different beadlock rings, wheel washers and trim rings in eight different anodised colours to match your unique style.
• Includes Axle Pins — The package also includes four axle pins measuring 2.5x10mm, which are essential fasteners needed to secure these hubs to your RC vehicle's axle shafts and prevent separation during operation.
• Easy Installation — Unlike traditional beadlock wheels that require time-consuming and complicated tyre mounting procedures, the Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System features a straightforward installation process, with pre-glued tyre assemblies that work with these wheel centres requiring only six screws per wheel.
• Lightweight Performance — Aluminium construction keeps rotational mass lower than heavier materials, which translates to improved acceleration, deceleration and overall handling response compared to steel or heavy plastic alternatives.
• Professional Appearance — The authentic beadlock styling of these aluminium wheel hubs gives your RC car the look of a full-size racing vehicle, elevating the visual impact of your model whether you're running at the track or bashing in the garden.

Technical Performance

The TRX4954X wheel hubs represent a significant performance upgrade for RC enthusiasts seeking to combine advanced engineering with eye-catching aesthetics. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, these hubs deliver superior strength and durability compared to traditional plastic wheel options commonly found on standard RC cars. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is specifically chosen by Traxxas for its excellent fatigue resistance and ability to withstand repeated stress cycles without permanent deformation. The hex drive system ensures secure engagement with standard RC axle shafts, eliminating any risk of slippage under acceleration or cornering loads. These blue-anodised wheel hubs integrate seamlessly with Traxxas's Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System, which combines these aluminium centres with tough nylon wheel bases and beadlock rings. The belted tyre technology used in conjunction with this system is moulded in a long-wearing rubber compound with internal belting that limits high-speed tyre expansion, creating a larger, flatter contact patch for game-changing precision handling. The modular design means you can easily interchange wheel components without requiring specialised tools or technical expertise. The inclusion of four 2.5x10mm axle pins ensures you have all fasteners necessary for complete installation, making this a turnkey upgrade for your RC vehicle. Whether you're running a brushless RC crawler, nitro-powered truck or electric stadium truck, these aluminium wheel hubs deliver the professional-grade performance and styling that dedicated RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these blue aluminium wheel hubs fit my RC car? — These hex wheel hubs are specifically designed for Traxxas models including the Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer that are compatible with the Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm compatibility before ordering. If you're unsure, contact us at RC Model Shop and our experienced team can help identify whether these hubs will work with your particular model.
• What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than plastic wheels? — 6061-T6 aluminium offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic, meaning these wheels are lighter yet significantly stronger and more resistant to bending from impacts. The material provides excellent fatigue resistance, so these hubs maintain their integrity through thousands of bashing cycles. Additionally, the anodised finish protects against corrosion whilst giving your RC car a professional, high-end appearance.
• Is the blue colour just paint or will it wear off? — The blue colour comes from anodising, an electrochemical process that creates a permanent oxide layer bonded to the aluminium surface. This is far more durable than paint and will not flake or peel under normal use. The anodised finish actually improves corrosion resistance and protects the underlying aluminium.
• How do I install these wheel hubs? — Installation is straightforward: simply slide the hex wheel hubs onto your RC vehicle's axle shafts and secure them using the included 2.5x10mm axle pins. The modular Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System design means you don't need specialised tools or complex procedures. Each wheel requires only six screws to assemble the complete modular wheel unit, making maintenance and tyre changes quick and easy.
• Can I mix these blue hubs with other colours in the Pro-Scale range? — Yes! One of the advantages of the modular Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System is that you can customise your wheels by combining different coloured beadlock rings, wheel washers and trim rings with these blue wheel hubs. Traxxas offers eight beautifully anodised colours for beadlock rings and washers, allowing you to create a unique look tailored to your preferences.
• What are the axle pins and how important are they? — The 2.5x10mm axle pins are essential fasteners that secure the wheel hubs to your RC vehicle's axle shafts. They prevent the wheels from separating during driving and ensure reliable power transmission. This package includes all four pins you'll need for a complete set of four wheels.
• Will these hubs work with ready to run RC cars? — These hubs are specifically designed for Traxxas vehicles that support the Pro-Scale Aluminium Wheel System. Many ready to run RC models from Traxxas, including recent versions of the Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer, are compatible. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact us for compatibility confirmation.
• How do I maintain these aluminium wheel hubs? — Aluminium wheels are low-maintenance. Simply rinse them with clean water after muddy running sessions and dry thoroughly. The anodised finish is very durable and resistant to corrosion. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that might scratch the anodised surface.
