Overview

The Fastrax Mini Maxx 7075 Aluminium Rear Hub Carriers represent a premium upgrade path for owners of the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S brushless RC monster truck. These lightweight yet rigid components are engineered to enhance the handling characteristics and durability of your RC car, making them an essential choice for serious enthusiasts looking to tune and upgrade their vehicle. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring the world of RC cars for the first time or an experienced RC hobbyist seeking to optimise your Mini Maxx's performance, these rear hub carriers deliver the precision engineering that matters when it comes to suspension geometry and overall handling.

Constructed from premium 7075 aluminium alloy, these hub carriers combine exceptional strength-to-weight ratio with the kind of precision manufacturing that Fastrax is recognised for across the RC community in the UK and beyond. The 7075 aluminium material is the same aerospace-grade alloy used in high-performance applications, chosen specifically because it offers superior rigidity compared to standard aluminium whilst keeping weight to a minimum. This is a critical upgrade for Mini Maxx owners who want their brushless RC truck to handle better through corners, maintain consistent suspension geometry under load, and withstand the punishment that comes with aggressive driving and racing.

These rear hub carriers are supplied as a pair, giving you everything needed to upgrade both rear corners of your Mini Maxx. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience, and the upgrade process takes just a few minutes with standard tools. Once fitted, you'll immediately notice improved steering response, better corner stability, and enhanced confidence when pushing your Mini Maxx to its limits on any terrain.

Key Features

• 7075 Aluminium Construction — The hub carriers are manufactured from premium 7075 grade aluminium alloy, which is significantly stronger and more rigid than standard aluminium whilst remaining lightweight. This aerospace-grade material is chosen specifically because it resists bending and deformation under the extreme forces generated by high-speed cornering, acceleration and braking, ensuring your suspension geometry stays consistent throughout a run.
• Precision Engineering — Fastrax components are machined to exacting tolerances, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance. The precision is evident in the smooth action of the hub carriers and their ability to work seamlessly with your Mini Maxx's existing suspension components, delivering the kind of refinement that separates quality upgrade parts from budget alternatives.
• Lightweight Design — By using 7075 aluminium rather than heavier materials, these hub carriers contribute to a lower overall vehicle weight whilst adding structural strength. Lower unsprung weight directly translates to better suspension response, quicker weight transfer during cornering, and improved traction across varying terrain types.
• Direct Fitment — These rear hub carriers are specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S in all colour variants (green, blue, black and orange). Direct fitment means no modification or adapters are required—simply remove the original plastic carriers and install the aluminium versions, and you're ready to hit the track or field.
• Pair Configuration — Supplied as a matched pair covering both rear corners, ensuring balanced handling and geometry across the entire rear axle. This is more cost-effective than purchasing individual carriers and guarantees consistent performance characteristics from side to side.
• Suspension Upgrade Path — These hub carriers are categorised as a suspension tune-up option, forming part of Fastrax's comprehensive range of Mini Maxx upgrade parts. They work in conjunction with other suspension upgrades to create a fully optimised, high-performance RC car that responds precisely to driver input.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Mini Maxx 7075 Aluminium Rear Hub Carriers are engineered specifically for the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S brushless RC monster truck, one of the most popular entry-level and mid-range brushless trucks in the UK RC market. The Mini Maxx BL-2S is powered by a brushless electric motor running on 2S LiPo batteries, delivering impressive speed and acceleration in a compact, manageable 1/10 scale package. The rear hub carriers play a crucial role in the suspension geometry of the vehicle, connecting the rear axle to the lower suspension arms and dictating the camber and toe-in angles of the rear wheels. By upgrading to these aluminium carriers from the standard plastic components, you gain measurable improvements in suspension stiffness and response. The 7075 aluminium material exhibits superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to the standard plastic hubs, which can flex and deform under aggressive driving, leading to geometry changes and inconsistent handling. With these rigid carriers in place, your suspension maintains its intended geometry throughout acceleration, braking and cornering, resulting in more predictable handling, better grip, and improved lap times if you're racing your Mini Maxx. The weight saving compared to steel components contributes to reduced unsprung mass, which is fundamental to RC suspension performance—less unsprung weight means the suspension can respond more quickly to track undulations, keeping the tyres in better contact with the ground. This is particularly valuable when running your Mini Maxx at high speeds or across rough terrain where suspension compliance is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these rear hub carriers compatible with my Traxxas Mini Maxx? — Yes, these Fastrax hub carriers are specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S in all colour options: green (TRX107154-1-GRN), blue (TRX107154-1-BLUE), black (TRX107154-1-BLK), and orange (TRX107154-1-ORNG). Direct fitment is guaranteed with no modifications required, making installation quick and straightforward.
• What is the benefit of upgrading to aluminium rear hub carriers? — The primary benefits are increased rigidity, improved suspension geometry stability, reduced unsprung weight, and enhanced durability. Aluminium carriers resist the flex and deformation that plastic carriers experience under load, maintaining consistent wheel alignment and camber angles during aggressive driving. This translates to better handling, improved traction, faster cornering speeds, and a more predictable driving experience across all terrain types.
• How much do these upgrade parts improve performance? — The improvement is noticeable particularly in cornering stability, suspension response time, and overall handling precision. Whether you're racing or simply enjoying your Mini Maxx around the garden or local RC track, you'll feel the difference in how the truck responds to steering inputs and maintains grip through corners. Many RC enthusiasts report that suspension upgrades like these are among the most impactful modifications they can make to their vehicles.
• Will I need any special tools to install these hub carriers? — Installation requires only basic RC maintenance tools—a small hex wrench or multi-tool, and possibly a small screwdriver depending on your Mini Maxx setup. The carriers bolt directly onto your existing suspension arms and axle, requiring no welding, cutting, or advanced mechanical work. Most users can complete the installation in under ten minutes.
• Are these suitable for beginners upgrading their Mini Maxx? — Absolutely. These hub carriers are an excellent first upgrade for Mini Maxx owners who want to improve their truck's performance without investing in more complex modifications. The installation is straightforward, requiring no advanced knowledge, and the performance improvement is immediately apparent. They represent outstanding value as a suspension upgrade and demonstrate how quality components can enhance your RC experience.
• Why choose 7075 aluminium over other materials? — 7075 aluminium is an aerospace-grade material chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It's significantly stronger and more rigid than standard aluminium whilst remaining lighter than steel or other alternatives. This ideal combination ensures maximum stiffness for precise suspension geometry with minimal weight penalty, which directly improves handling and acceleration characteristics of your Mini Maxx.
