Traxxas Slash 2wd- Rear stub axle carrier
 

Rc universe community,
I broke a rear stub axle carrier today on my 2wd traxxas slash while out bashing. What is the best replacement for it at this point in time? Do I go with the same stock part or upgrade? Once I do get the new part, do a need a new bushing? If no, how do I replace the existing one?
Thanks,
-Patrick

The stock ones are very tough. Just stay stock.

Hey, that's the first part I broke too...

I would recommend replacing it with a RPM one. They have a lifetime warranty against breakage.
For US $8 u can't go wrong.

Ps, once u have taken off the wheel hex, lock pin, and stub axle, the bearings just puts out

It's pretty generally known around here, that RPM makes better replacement parts than the OEM. And from what I've read, pretty much every Slash owner replaces broken parts with RPM parts, because they ARE tougher than the stock.

Fixed dat ;)

Only RPM part I heard of that sucks is the wheel hubs on the merv due to them being too soft, and the ball ends pulling through.

Oh HELL yeah!  BUSHINGS?  That is so 1985!  Gotta get BEARINGS, mate.  If your slash has bushings, replace them everywhere.  Check the tranny and if it has bushings, replace them too.

Syco - Are you saying he SHOULD NOT get the RPM rear hub carriers, because they are the only RPM part not tougher than stock?  That would be really weird on RPM's part........

Are u sure its bushings???? I've never seen a slash with bushes only bearings.... Are u sure?

RE: Traxxas Slash 2wd- Rear stub axle carrier
 

Some other options too.....

If u are more into racing and fine tuning look into the alloy STRC ones or the Proline ones

No meant the only part they make for all the traxxas models that is weaker then stock is the wheel hubs on the 1/16th Mini Revo(which doesn't mean anything in this case)
Outside that if it breaks RPM it on all Traxxas models :D

phmaximus,
You were right. The slash does have bearings, not bushings.

Thanks for the correction,

I think the RPM ones would be the better bet since I'm not too into racing...yet.
Thanks for the alternate option though.
