Overview
The Traxxas Stub Axle Rear (TRX9554) is an essential spare part for owners of the Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale brushless electric monster truck. This rear stub axle is specifically engineered to work exclusively with the #9557 rear driveshaft, forming a critical component of your Sledge's drivetrain system. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or serious hobbyist looking to maintain or upgrade your RC model truck, having genuine Traxxas replacement parts on hand ensures your vehicle remains in peak condition. This is a professional-grade spare part designed to meet the exacting standards of the Traxxas Sledge platform, one of the most capable 1/8 scale brushless RC monster trucks available in the UK market today.
The rear stub axle is a crucial component that transfers power from the driveshaft to the rear wheels, making it essential for smooth operation and optimal handling. Understanding the importance of genuine parts is key to getting the most from your RC car UK experience.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Stub Axle Rear TRX9554 is a precision-engineered drivetrain component designed specifically for the Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck platform. The Sledge represents one of the most advanced 1/8 scale brushless RC models available, featuring a powerful brushless motor system coupled with a sophisticated 4WD transmission. The stub axle plays a critical role in this system, serving as the interface point where rotational power from the driveshaft is transferred directly to the rear wheels. The component is manufactured from high-quality materials selected for their durability and ability to withstand the substantial torque and stress loads generated by the Sledge's brushless motor system during acceleration, cornering, and impact scenarios. The precision tolerances of this part ensure smooth, frictionless power delivery to the rear wheels whilst maintaining perfect alignment with the transmission system. For users of the Sledge, whether they are engaged in competitive racing or aggressive bashing on UK terrain, having genuine replacement parts available ensures they can quickly return their brushless RC monster truck to factory specifications whenever drivetrain maintenance becomes necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a stub axle and why does my Sledge need one? — The stub axle is a critical component of your Sledge's rear drivetrain that connects the driveshaft to the rear wheels. It transfers rotational power from the transmission system directly to your wheels, enabling forward motion and directional control. Over time through normal use, racing, or bashing, this component can wear or become damaged, requiring replacement to restore full drivetrain functionality.
- Is the TRX9554 compatible with all Traxxas Sledge models? — Yes, this rear stub axle is compatible with all variants of the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck, regardless of colour choice. The Sledge is available in green, red, blue, and orange versions, and this part works with all of them. However, it is specifically designed for use only with the #9557 rear driveshaft.
- Do I need any special tools to install this stub axle? — Installation of drivetrain components like the stub axle typically requires standard RC model tools and mechanical knowledge. We recommend consulting the official Traxxas assembly guides or instructional videos for proper installation procedures. If you are unsure about any aspect of the installation, please contact our team of RC experts at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- Why is using a genuine Traxxas part important rather than a clone or compatible alternative? — Genuine Traxxas parts are engineered and manufactured to exact specifications that ensure perfect fitment, reliability, and performance on your Sledge platform. Using genuine components protects your investment, maintains the resale value of your RC model truck, and ensures that all warranty and support benefits remain in effect. Clone or compatible alternatives may introduce fit or performance issues that could damage other drivetrain components.
- How often will I need to replace the rear stub axle on my Sledge? — The frequency of replacement depends entirely on your usage patterns. Casual weekend bashers may find that a stub axle lasts for many seasons of use, whilst competitive racers or users who engage in extremely aggressive driving may need replacements more frequently. Regular inspection of your drivetrain components is recommended to catch wear early.
