Technical Performance
The Traxxas Axle Carriers represent the pinnacle of suspension component engineering for serious RC car builders and racers. Manufactured from aluminium, these carriers deliver exceptional rigidity and precision while maintaining a lightweight profile that contributes to improved acceleration and handling response. The inclusion of bearing adapters for both 6x12mm and 6x13mm ball bearings demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to providing versatile upgrade options that work across different vehicle configurations and build specifications. The aluminium construction provides superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, resisting bending and deformation during aggressive driving, high-speed cornering, and challenging off-road conditions. The precision manufacturing ensures that left and right carriers are perfectly matched, maintaining symmetrical suspension geometry that translates to balanced, predictable vehicle behaviour. The four dust boot retainers protect critical bearing surfaces from contamination, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life even in muddy, wet, or dusty racing environments common across UK RC tracks and outdoor locations. These components represent the engineering quality that has made Traxxas the choice of professional competitors and dedicated hobbyists for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

They are ideal for owners of compatible Traxxas models looking to replace worn components or upgrade their suspension geometry. For specific vehicle compatibility, refer to your vehicle's manual or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop for detailed fitment information.
- What is the difference between the 6x12mm and 6x13mm bearing adapters? — The package includes bearing adapters designed for 6x12mm ball bearings alongside compatibility with larger 6x13mm ball bearings. This dual compatibility allows you to choose the bearing size that matches your specific suspension setup, tuning preferences, or upgrade path. Larger bearings may provide different load characteristics and handling feel.
- Why are dust boot retainers important for my RC car? — Dust boot retainers protect your precision bearings and axles from dirt, sand, mud and moisture encountered during outdoor running. Without proper protection, contaminants enter the bearing races and cause increased friction, wear and eventual failure. Using all four retainers ensures comprehensive protection across both axle assemblies.

This ensures perfect fitment, reliability and performance characteristics that match your vehicle's original engineering specifications.

The aluminium construction and precision engineering make them ideal for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and consistent performance in high-stress racing conditions across UK tracks.
- What tools do I need to install these axle carriers? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools including hex wrenches, screwdrivers and possibly a bearing puller, depending on your specific vehicle and current setup. Refer to your vehicle's assembly manual for detailed installation instructions and torque specifications.
