Whether you are a dedicated RC enthusiast maintaining your vehicle or a UK RC hobbyist looking to keep your model running at peak performance, these replacement bushings are crucial components for smooth drivetrain operation.

For anyone serious about their RC hobby in the UK, whether you run ready to run RC cars or competition-grade brushless RC models, having a selection of genuine spare parts on hand is essential. Worn bushings can cause increased friction, vibration, poor handling response and ultimately lead to more expensive component failure.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Center Bearing Carrier Bushings represent precision engineering designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern RC car performance. These components are manufactured to exacting standards using materials selected for durability under the intense rotational stresses found in brushless RC models and nitro-powered vehicles. The bushings serve as the primary support and friction interface for the centre bearing carrier, a critical component that maintains proper alignment and reduces play in the drivetrain. Over time, continuous operation at high speeds causes wear in these bushings, leading to increased friction, noise and eventually compromised handling characteristics. By replacing them with genuine Traxxas TRX6457 parts, you restore your RC car's drivetrain to factory specifications, ensuring smooth rotation, minimal vibration and optimal power transmission. Whether your RC vehicle uses brushless motors or traditional brushed systems, these bushings maintain the structural integrity that Traxxas engineering demands. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of wear items like these bushings is what separates professional RC operators from casual users, keeping your UK RC collection in peak condition for weekend bashing or competition racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I replace the center bearing carrier bushings on my Traxxas RC model? — You should inspect your bushings regularly during maintenance checks. Replace them if you notice increased friction, play in the drivetrain, unusual noise during operation, or if they appear visibly worn or damaged. For vehicles used frequently, checking every 5-10 battery packs or running sessions is recommended to catch wear before it causes secondary damage.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are 100% genuine Traxxas OEM parts manufactured to factory specifications. Genuine parts ensure perfect compatibility with your specific Traxxas model, whereas aftermarket alternatives may vary in tolerances, materials and durability. We always recommend using genuine Traxxas spare parts for the best results.
- Will these bushings fit my Traxxas RC car? — The TRX6457 is specifically designed for particular Traxxas models. Please check your vehicle's manual or contact our expert team to confirm compatibility with your specific RC car, as different models use different bearing carrier designs and bushing specifications.
- What tools do I need to replace these bushings? — Replacement typically requires basic RC maintenance tools such as hex drivers, screwdrivers and possibly a press tool depending on your specific model. Most Traxxas enthusiasts find the installation straightforward, though consulting your vehicle's assembly guide is highly recommended before starting work.
- How long do center bearing carrier bushings typically last? — The lifespan depends heavily on your driving style, terrain, weather conditions and maintenance schedule. Weekend bashers might get 20-30 hours of run time, while competition drivers using brushless RC models at high speeds may need replacement every 10-15 hours. Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend bushing life considerably.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While replacement is mechanically straightforward, beginners should feel confident with basic RC maintenance before attempting drivetrain work. We recommend consulting your Traxxas manual or watching installation guides before starting. Our experienced team in-store can also provide guidance and support.
