Overview
The Traxxas O-Rings (6) TRX9680 are essential replacement drivetrain spares designed specifically for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your high-performance RC monster truck or a weekend basher who demands reliability, these genuine Traxxas O-rings are critical components for keeping your rear driveshaft seals in perfect working order. As a leading RC car UK retailer, we understand that proper maintenance of your brushless RC monster truck ensures consistent performance and longevity of your investment.
O-rings are vital sealing components in the drivetrain system, preventing fluid leakage and maintaining the integrity of your RC truck's mechanical systems. Over time, exposure to dirt, moisture and the rigorous demands of off-road RC driving can cause O-rings to degrade, crack or lose their elasticity. When this happens, your Sledge's rear driveshaft performance suffers, and you risk more serious damage to expensive internal components. That's why having a genuine replacement set on hand is essential for any serious Sledge owner.
This pack contains six O-rings, giving you multiple replacement options or allowing you to refresh the entire drivetrain sealing system in one go. As an authorised Traxxas dealer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine Traxxas spare parts, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance with your ready to run RC truck.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas O-Rings TRX9680 are precision-engineered elastomer sealing components manufactured to exacting Traxxas specifications. O-rings function as dynamic seals in the rear driveshaft assembly, creating an impermeable barrier that prevents drivetrain fluid loss while maintaining pressure within the system. These sealing components are subjected to significant mechanical stress during normal RC truck operation, particularly when driving through wet terrain, mud, or water crossings common in UK RC events and recreational bashing. The elastomer material composition allows these O-rings to withstand repeated compression and extension cycles whilst maintaining their sealing integrity across a wide temperature range. Genuine Traxxas O-rings are manufactured from premium materials selected to resist degradation from exposure to synthetic and mineral-based drivetrain oils, ensuring reliable performance throughout their service life. The critical tolerance specifications ensure that each O-ring in this six-piece set provides consistent sealing pressure and performance, eliminating the risk of poor fit or intermittent sealing failures that can occur with non-genuine aftermarket alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the TRX9680 and why would I need it? — The TRX9680 is a pack of six genuine Traxxas O-rings designed specifically for the rear driveshaft of the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck. O-rings are critical sealing components that prevent fluid leakage from the drivetrain. Over time, these seals wear out due to friction, heat, and exposure to dirt and moisture. Replacing them is essential maintenance that keeps your RC truck running smoothly and prevents more serious internal damage to expensive drivetrain components.
- Which Traxxas models are these O-rings compatible with? — These O-rings are specifically designed for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck, available in multiple colour variants including red (TRX95096-4-RED), green (TRX95096-4-GRN), blue (TRX95096-4-BLUE), and orange (TRX95096-4-ORNG). If you own any of these Sledge variants, the TRX9680 is the correct replacement part for your rear driveshaft seals.
- How often should I replace O-rings on my RC monster truck? — Replacement frequency depends on your driving habits and conditions. Frequent drivers, particularly those who regularly drive through wet terrain or mud, may need to replace O-rings every few months. Recreational weekend bashers might stretch replacement intervals to six months or longer. Signs that O-rings need replacement include visible fluid leaks from the driveshaft area, difficulty in gear engagement, or sluggish drivetrain performance. Having a spare pack on hand means you can perform maintenance whenever needed without waiting for delivery.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, absolutely. RC Model Shop is an authorised Traxxas retailer, and we stock only genuine OEM Traxxas parts. These O-rings carry the authentic Traxxas model number TRX9680 and EAN code 020334968005, guaranteeing they are manufactured to exact Traxxas specifications and will fit and perform perfectly with your Sledge.
- Why buy six O-rings instead of just one? — The Sledge rear driveshaft system uses multiple O-rings, and purchasing a six-pack allows you to replace all seals at once during maintenance, ensuring consistent performance across the entire drivetrain. Additionally, having spares on hand means you won't have to wait for delivery when maintenance is needed during your RC driving season.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While O-ring replacement is a basic drivetrain maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can handle, it does require some mechanical knowledge and the right tools. If you're new to RC trucks and unsure about performing your own maintenance, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can advise you on the process or recommend professional servicing options.
