Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aircraft-Grade Aluminium Construction — Machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminium, the same material used in aerospace engineering, ensuring exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability that far exceeds plastic alternatives. This premium material choice means your wheel hubs will withstand the demands of aggressive driving without bending, cracking, or stripping over time.
- Brilliant Orange-Anodised Finish — The eye-catching orange anodised coating provides a professional, high-tech appearance whilst offering superior protection against corrosion and oxidation. The anodised layer is harder than the aluminium beneath it, providing excellent resistance to wear and maintaining the vibrant orange colour for years of use.
- Precision Hex Design — The hex-shaped bore fits with greater precision than standard hubs, ensuring consistent alignment and optimal performance. This precision engineering reduces play and wobble, translating to improved handling characteristics and more predictable vehicle behaviour during both casual driving and competitive racing.
- Strip-Proof Performance — Unlike plastic hubs that can strip, crack, or wear under load, these aluminium hubs maintain their integrity through countless drive cycles and impacts. The hardness of 6061-T6 aluminium means the hex drive will not wear down or become damaged, even with aggressive driving or frequent gear mesh adjustments.
- Lightweight Design — Engineered to provide strength without excess weight, these hubs help maintain low unsprung mass at the front of your vehicle, improving suspension response and overall handling dynamics. The reduced weight compared to some alternative materials means better acceleration, easier handling, and improved battery runtime.
- Sold as a Pair — These front wheel hubs come as a matched pair, allowing you to upgrade both front wheels simultaneously for consistent performance and appearance across the front axle of your RC car.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas wheel hubs represent the pinnacle of aftermarket upgrade engineering for RC vehicles. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium — a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance — these hubs deliver performance characteristics that plastic components simply cannot match. The precision machining process ensures each hub is manufactured to exact tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect fit and eliminating the slop or play that can develop in lower-quality components. The orange anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process creates a hardened surface layer that protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation and wear, ensuring these hubs maintain their appearance and functionality through countless hours of use. The hex design has been engineered to mate perfectly with standard RC vehicle axles, providing a secure connection that transmits power efficiently without slippage or damage. Whether you're running a high-powered brushless RC truck, an electric RC buggy, or any other RC model, upgrading to these premium aluminium hubs will provide noticeable improvements in handling precision, reliability, and visual impact. The lightweight construction ensures you're not adding unnecessary weight to your unsprung components, allowing your suspension to respond more quickly and your vehicle to accelerate more effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these orange-anodised aluminium wheel hubs fit my RC vehicle? — These are genuine Traxxas front hex wheel hubs designed to fit Traxxas RC vehicles that use standard 24mm front plastic wheel hubs. Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle is compatible with this style of hex hub. The precision machining ensures they fit with greater accuracy than plastic alternatives, providing a more secure mounting and better performance characteristics.
- Why would I upgrade from plastic wheel hubs to aluminium? — Plastic wheel hubs can strip, crack, or become damaged through normal use and aggressive driving. Upgrading to 6061-T6 aluminium hubs provides strip-proof performance that will last for years, superior precision that improves handling, and a professional appearance that enhances your RC car's aesthetics. The investment in quality aftermarket components like these wheel hubs will pay dividends in reliability and performance over time.
- Are these wheels suitable for both on-road and off-road RC use? — Yes, these front hex wheel hubs are designed to work with various RC driving styles and environments. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction and orange-anodised finish provide excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for off-road bashers that may encounter wet or muddy conditions, whilst their precision engineering makes them equally at home on the track or carpet for competitive racing applications.
- How do these compare to other aftermarket wheel hub options available in the UK? — As genuine Traxxas components, these wheel hubs are engineered and manufactured to exacting standards by the world's leading RC vehicle maker. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction combined with the precision machining and brilliant orange-anodised finish puts them among the premium options available. They represent excellent value for a genuine, guaranteed-compatible upgrade from a trusted manufacturer.
- Do these wheel hubs require any special installation or tools? — These wheel hubs should fit directly onto your vehicle's axles in place of the standard plastic hubs. Depending on your specific vehicle model, you may need to transfer screw pins or other mounting hardware from your existing hubs. We recommend consulting your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert RC team in Walsall if you need guidance on installation.
- What is the difference between the orange-anodised finish and other colour options? — The orange-anodised finish is purely a cosmetic choice that allows you to customise your vehicle's appearance. The orange colour is vibrant and eye-catching, making your RC car stand out at the track or bashfield. The anodising process itself is identical regardless of colour, providing the same level of protection and durability. Choose the colour that best matches your personal style and vehicle colour scheme.
