- Blue-Anodised Finish — The brightly-anodised blue coating not only delivers stunning visual appeal to personalise your Pro Scale sand car, but also provides a protective layer that resists corrosion and wear from sand, salt water, and UV exposure during outdoor RC driving sessions.
- Pro Scale Compatibility — This front stub axle is specifically engineered to fit Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD electric sand cars in blue, green, red, and orange variants, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal suspension geometry for consistent performance.
- Single Unit Package — Sold as one stub axle per package, allowing you to replace individual worn components, match colour schemes across your vehicle, or build multiple sand cars with coordinated aesthetics.
- Direct Traxxas OEM Component — This is a genuine original equipment manufacturer part from Traxxas, guaranteeing authenticity, quality control, and compatibility with your Pro Scale sand car without compromising performance or reliability.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Stub Axle Front represents precision engineering in miniature form. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, this material is specifically chosen for its exceptional rigidity, excellent machinability, and outstanding corrosion resistance—critical properties for an RC sand car component that must withstand repeated impacts, sand abrasion, and exposure to saltwater environments. The blue anodised finish adds a protective oxide layer approximately 25 microns thick, which significantly extends the component's lifespan compared to bare aluminium. This front stub axle is designed for the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD electric sand cars, which utilise 8S LiPo battery power for extreme performance and speed. The geometry and fitment of this component are optimised to maintain proper suspension kinematics, ensuring that your sand car maintains consistent handling characteristics whether you're running on flat track, technical terrain, or open beach. The precision engineering means zero flex or play in the joint, translating to sharper steering response and more predictable vehicle behaviour during high-speed runs. Unlike generic aftermarket alternatives, this OEM component is tested extensively to ensure it performs under the demanding conditions of competitive Pro Scale sand car racing and weekend bashing alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas sand cars does this front stub axle fit? — This stub axle is compatible with all Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD electric sand cars, including the orange (TRX109076-4-ORNG), green (TRX109076-4-GRN), red (TRX109076-4-RED), and blue (TRX109076-4-BLUE) variants. It is a front component specifically designed for these Pro Scale models.
- Is this a left or right side component? — This is a front stub axle designed as a direct replacement component for your Pro Scale sand car. Check your vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop for clarification on whether you need a left or right side variant if you're building from scratch.
- Why choose aluminium over plastic stub axles? — The 6061-T6 aluminium construction offers significantly superior strength, rigidity, and durability compared to plastic alternatives. Aluminium resists flexing under load, provides better impact resistance, and maintains precision tolerances longer than plastic, resulting in more responsive handling and longer component lifespan even during intense RC driving sessions.
- What makes the blue-anodised finish special? — The anodised finish is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This makes the component resistant to corrosion, UV fade, and scratches from sand and rocks. The bright blue colour is absorbed into this protective layer, so it won't chip or peel like paint, and it actually gets slightly harder over time.
- Can I use this with other Traxxas models? — No, this front stub axle is specifically engineered for the Pro Scale 8S sand cars and is not compatible with standard Traxxas suspension components or other vehicle platforms. Always verify compatibility before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement and upgrade component rather than a complete vehicle, so it's suited for RC enthusiasts who already own a compatible Pro Scale sand car and want to maintain or customise their vehicle. Beginners looking to enter the hobby should start with a ready-to-run RC sand car or complete kit.
- How do I know when to replace my stub axles? — Replace your stub axles if you notice excessive play or movement at the joint, visible bending or cracking, difficulty steering precisely, or after significant impacts or crashes that could have bent the component. Regular inspection after crashes or hard driving sessions is recommended.
