Technical Performance
The Traxxas Sledge Wing and Wing Washer (TRX9517A) represents precision engineering designed for the demanding environment of 1/8 scale brushless RC monster truck operation. The Sledge Belted platform is Traxxas's flagship 1/8 scale monster truck, powered by brushless electric motors capable of delivering impressive acceleration and top-end performance. The wing assembly on this truck plays a crucial role in managing aerodynamic forces at high speeds, providing downforce that maintains traction and improves cornering stability. The wing washer component distributes mounting forces evenly across the chassis, preventing localised stress concentrations that could cause damage to the truck's bodywork or frame. The white finish is applied using durable paints and coatings that withstand exposure to dirt, moisture, and UV light—essential for RC vehicles that frequently operate outdoors. This component is compatible with the TRX95096-4 Sledge platform across all colour options, including the green (TRX95096-4-GRN), red (TRX95096-4-RED), blue (TRX95096-4-BLUE), and orange (TRX95096-4-ORNG) variants, confirming its universal application within the Sledge family.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles is the Traxxas Sledge Wing and Wing Washer compatible with? — This wing and washer set (TRX9517A) is specifically designed for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck. It is compatible with all colour variants of the Sledge, including the green, red, blue, and orange models. If you own any variant of the 1/8 scale Sledge platform, this is the correct wing and washer combination for your truck.
- Why would I need to replace or upgrade the wing on my RC monster truck? — The wing can become damaged from impacts during aggressive driving, high-speed crashes, or rough terrain bashing. Additionally, upgrading to a fresh wing and washer set can refresh the appearance of your truck and potentially improve aerodynamic performance if your existing wing has become warped or damaged from regular use.
- Is this a complete wing assembly or do I need additional parts? — This package includes both the wing and the wing washer, providing everything required for installation on your Sledge. However, you may need hardware such as screws or fasteners depending on your specific installation requirements; we recommend checking your truck's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop for specific hardware guidance.
- Will the white wing match my coloured Sledge truck? — The white finish provides a clean, contrasting look that complements any Sledge colour variant beautifully. Many RC enthusiasts appreciate the professional appearance of white wings on coloured trucks, as it creates a striking visual contrast. However, if you prefer a colour-matched look, Traxxas may offer this wing in alternative colours separately.
- How does the wing washer contribute to performance? — The wing washer distributes mounting loads evenly across a wider area of the chassis, preventing concentrated stress points that could crack or damage the truck's body. This component ensures stable wing mounting and helps maintain consistent aerodynamic performance during high-speed driving and racing.
