Technical Performance
The Traxxas wheelie bar side plates are engineered from premium-grade aluminium that has been anodised to provide exceptional durability and corrosion resistance in demanding outdoor RC racing environments. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, which not only enhances the appearance with a brilliant green finish but also significantly extends the lifespan of the components by protecting against oxidation, salt spray, and UV degradation. These side plates are precision-manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect alignment and fitment with the Traxxas 9460 extended wheelie bar system without requiring any modifications or adjustments. The rigid aluminium construction dramatically increases the overall stiffness of the wheelie bar assembly, which directly translates to improved vehicle handling, more predictable weight transfer during acceleration and braking, and enhanced suspension geometry consistency throughout your run. For UK RC car enthusiasts running competitive setups or high-performance bashers, the addition of these aluminium side plates represents a measurable upgrade in chassis dynamics and handling characteristics. The lightweight nature of aluminium ensures that the performance improvements come without adding excessive weight to your vehicle, maintaining optimal weight distribution and power-to-weight ratio. Whether you're campaigning at the track or bashing through the countryside, these professional-grade OEM components deliver the engineering precision and durability that serious RC hobbyists demand.
