Technical Performance
The Traxxas wing washer represents the kind of meticulous engineering that defines the Sledge platform. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most respected alloys in precision RC manufacturing, this component provides the perfect balance of lightweight construction and structural integrity. The green-anodised surface treatment is not merely cosmetic—anodising creates a hard oxide layer that dramatically improves corrosion resistance, scratch resistance and overall durability compared to untreated aluminium. This is particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts who face damp conditions and variable weather throughout the year. The washer's precision engineering ensures perfect fitment with the Sledge's wing mounting system, eliminating gaps or misalignment that could compromise aerodynamics or structural reliability. The inclusion of two 4x12mm FCS (flat countersunk) screws demonstrates Traxxas's attention to detail—these fasteners are specifically selected to work with the washer's hole pattern and the Sledge's mounting points, ensuring secure installation that will hold up to the vibrations and impacts encountered during hard driving sessions. Whether you're running your Sledge 1/8 scale monster truck on high-grip carpet, dusty outdoor tracks or rough bashing terrain, this wing washer will maintain its appearance and performance for years of consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas Sledge models is this wing washer compatible with? — This green-anodised wing washer is designed for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck and fits all colour variants including the green (TRX95096-4-GRN), red (TRX95096-4-RED), blue (TRX95096-4-BLUE) and orange (TRX95096-4-ORNG) versions. If you own a Sledge monster truck, this part will integrate seamlessly with your setup.
- What material is this wing washer made from? — The wing washer is manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, an aerospace-grade alloy chosen for its exceptional strength, lightweight characteristics and excellent machinability. The T6 designation indicates the alloy has been heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal hardness and durability for precision RC applications.
- Will the green-anodised finish match my Sledge truck? — The green-anodised finish is specifically designed to complement the Traxxas Sledge range and works beautifully with the green variant of the truck. If you own a red, blue or orange Sledge, the green washer will provide a striking two-tone aesthetic that many RC enthusiasts appreciate as a racing-inspired contrast accent, similar to upgrade parts used on competition vehicles.
- Is this easy to install? — Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic RC maintenance. The washer simply replaces the original component using the two 4x12mm FCS screws provided in the box. You'll need only a hex driver that fits the screw heads—no special tools or modifications are required. Most users can complete installation in just a few minutes.
- What is the difference between anodised and standard aluminium? — Anodising creates a hard, protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that dramatically improves corrosion resistance, wear resistance and aesthetic durability compared to bare aluminium. Bare aluminium oxidises naturally over time, developing a dull grey appearance; anodised aluminium maintains its vibrant colour and protective properties indefinitely, making it the superior choice for RC components that will be used regularly in variable UK weather conditions.
- Will this wing washer make my Sledge faster? — The primary function of this wing washer is structural reinforcement and aesthetic enhancement rather than performance modification. However, by adding strength and stability to the wing mounting area, it may indirectly contribute to more consistent handling characteristics by reducing any potential flex or movement in the wing assembly during aggressive driving, which could have minor positive effects on overall vehicle stability and predictability.
- Is this part suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an excellent part for RC enthusiasts at any skill level. Beginners can safely install this upgrade with basic tools, and it requires no electrical knowledge or complex assembly. Experienced racers and bashers will appreciate the premium materials and precision engineering that enhance both the look and durability of their Sledge monster truck.
