Manufactured by Fastrax, a recognised brand for high-quality RC upgrade parts, these rear hub carriers are engineered for drivers who demand the best performance from their 1/10 scale brushless RC trucks. The Mini Maxx has become an incredibly popular platform in the UK RC community, and these genuine Fastrax upgrades are one of the most sought-after suspension modifications available. Designed to work seamlessly with the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S platform, they deliver measurable improvements in cornering stability, jump landing consistency, and overall chassis control that serious bashers and racers will immediately appreciate.
If you're looking to upgrade your brushless Mini Maxx RC truck with performance-focused suspension parts that deliver genuine benefits, these 7075 aluminium rear hub carriers are the ideal choice. The pair configuration means you get both rear hub carriers needed for a complete rear suspension upgrade, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance skills.
Key Features
- 7075 Aluminium Construction — These hub carriers are machined from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium alloy, which provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives, resulting in reduced unsprung weight and improved suspension response on both smooth tracks and rough off-road terrain.
- Precision Machined Design — Each hub carrier is precision-engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment with your Mini Maxx BL-2S and maintaining consistent suspension geometry regardless of how hard you bash or race your RC truck.
- Pair Configuration — This product includes both left and right rear hub carriers, providing everything you need to upgrade the complete rear suspension without purchasing multiple items separately.
- Compatible with Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S — These carriers are specifically engineered to fit the entire Mini Maxx BL-2S range, whether your model is the green (TRX107154-1-GRN), blue (TRX107154-1-BLUE), black (TRX107154-1-BLK), or orange (TRX107154-1-ORNG) variant.
- Improved Handling Characteristics — Upgrading to rigid aluminium hub carriers significantly reduces suspension flex compared to stock plastic parts, delivering better steering response, more predictable cornering, and improved chassis control during aggressive driving.
- Enhanced Durability — Aluminium is far more resistant to impact damage and repeated stress cycles than plastic, meaning these parts will outlast standard components through seasons of serious bashing and competitive racing.
- Professional-Grade Upgrade — These Fastrax parts represent the kind of upgrade used by experienced RC drivers and competition racers who understand that suspension geometry directly impacts performance and that investing in quality components delivers measurable results.
Technical Performance
The 7075 aluminium material specification is critical to understanding why these rear hub carriers deliver superior performance on the track or trail. 7075 aluminium is the aerospace-standard alloy used in high-stress applications where minimal flex and maximum durability are non-negotiable, and Fastrax has brought that same engineering excellence to RC suspension components. When installed on your Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S brushless RC truck, these hub carriers eliminate the compliance and flex inherent in plastic designs, creating a directly responsive suspension system that translates driver inputs into immediate chassis movement. This precision engineering means that when you're running 3S LiPo power through your brushless motor and pushing your Mini Maxx to its limits, the suspension geometry remains perfectly consistent lap after lap, run after run. The rigid construction also improves bump compliance by allowing the suspension arms and shocks to do their job more effectively rather than wasting energy flexing the hub carriers themselves. For UK RC enthusiasts running on varied terrain—from smooth carpeted tracks to rough outdoor bashing spots and everything in between—this upgrade represents one of the highest-return modifications available, delivering noticeable improvements in handling feel, consistency, and driving confidence that will make you faster and more confident behind the wheel of your Mini Maxx.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these rear hub carriers compatible with my Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S? — Yes, these Fastrax FTTX510G rear hub carriers are specifically designed and tested to fit all colour variants of the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S, including green, blue, black, and orange models. Simply verify your model number matches one of the compatible options listed in the specifications.
- Will these aluminium hub carriers improve the handling of my RC truck? — Absolutely. Upgrading from plastic to precision-machined 7075 aluminium hub carriers will deliver immediately noticeable improvements in steering response, cornering stability, and overall chassis control. The reduced flex and improved suspension geometry consistency make a genuine difference in driving feel and lap times, which is why these are a popular upgrade among serious Mini Maxx drivers in the UK.
- How difficult is it to install these hub carriers on my Mini Maxx? — Installation difficulty is moderate and suitable for intermediate RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills. You will need to disassemble your rear suspension, carefully transfer any bearings or pivot balls from the original plastic carriers, and reassemble with the new aluminium carriers. If you're not confident with suspension work, your local RC shop can install these for you.
- Will I need to adjust my suspension settings after upgrading to these aluminium hub carriers? — It's possible you may want to make minor adjustments to your shock oil viscosity, anti-roll bar settings, or suspension arm angles to fully take advantage of the improved rigidity, but the carriers will work effectively with your existing setup out of the box.
- What is the advantage of 7075 aluminium over other materials? — 7075 aluminium is an aerospace-grade alloy offering superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives and better rigidity than lower-grade aluminium alloys. This means less flex during hard cornering and jumps, more consistent suspension geometry, and significantly improved durability through countless bashing sessions.
- Are these parts genuine Fastrax products? — Yes, when purchased from RC Model Shop you are receiving genuine Fastrax FTTX510G parts with the official part number and EAN code 5056135784778, ensuring authenticity and quality assurance.
