Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheel Hubs TRX8568 are engineered with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Traxxas's commitment to quality in the RC hobby community. The steel construction provides significantly greater durability and strength compared to plastic alternatives, making these hubs ideal for serious RC enthusiasts who engage in regular off-road driving, bashing, or competitive racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models are these wheel hubs compatible with? — These wheel hubs (TRX8568) are specifically designed for the Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR Short Course Truck models, including both the Fox Racing variant (TRX85086-4-FOX1) and the Rigid Industries variant (TRX85086-4-RGD1). Ensure your model matches one of these variations before purchasing to guarantee correct fitment.
- What is the difference between steel and plastic wheel hubs? — Steel wheel hubs like the TRX8568 offer superior durability, impact resistance, and longevity compared to plastic alternatives. Steel hubs are less likely to crack or break under extreme conditions, making them ideal for serious RC bashers and competitive drivers who demand reliability and durability from their vehicles.

Choosing genuine Traxxas parts ensures you're getting authentic components designed specifically for your UDR platform.
- Do I need any additional tools to install these wheel hubs? — Installation requires basic RC hobby tools including hex drivers and potentially some Allen keys, depending on your UDR configuration. Traxxas provides detailed assembly instructions with most components, and our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance if you need additional support.
- Will upgrading to steel wheel hubs improve my RC truck's performance? — Upgrading to steel wheel hubs improves reliability, durability, and longevity rather than raw speed. However, the increased strength and precision engineering ensure consistent performance, better wheel balance, and fewer component failures during aggressive driving, making them an excellent tune-up investment for serious RC enthusiasts.
- How many wheel hubs does my UDR need? — Your Traxxas UDR requires four wheel hubs total—one for each wheel corner. This package contains all four hubs required for a complete upgrade, making it convenient to replace all hubs at once and maintain consistent performance across the entire vehicle.
