RPM Front Bearing Carrier Set for Traxxas Slash/Bandit/Rustler/Stampede (Black) (2)
About this part
RPM Traxxas Steering Blocks are the perfect solution for worn bushings and weak 5x8mm bearings. Give your electric the same bearing the nitro trucks come stock with - 5x11mm! The oversize bearings have higher load ratings than a 5x8mm bearing and will significantly increase the time between maintenance. In addition, these oversized bearing carriers are so strong, RPM guarantee that they won't ever break! When used in conjunction with the RPM Rear Bearing Carriers (RPM80382), you'll never have to worry about worn-out bushings or blown wheel bearings again!
NOTE: 5x11x4mm bearings are not included. 4 bearings are required.
Features:
- Fits the 2WD Slash, Nitro Slash, Bandit, Electric Rustler and Electric Stampede
- Replaces stock Traxxas #3736
- 5x11x4mm size bearings not included
- Available in Black and Blue

work great. I have bought a number of rpm parts and have been very satisfied.. They are lighter and definitely stronger than stock.. I went through 3 stock traxxas front bearing carriers , two castor blocks and 2 rear bearing carriers in one track session.. Yes my children are not very good at driving the cars yet.. I digress.. Im not saying it wont happen. BUT... I have yet to break a single RPM piece on any of my trucks , including the trucks my kids use.. I have had no problem with interference or fit whatsoever.. I say great product and much cheaper than aluminium......... I do wonder if it would cost traxxas that much more to make there bearing carriers . bulkheads and castor blocks out of something better.. seems to be there weak point. I say go buy an aluminium bulkhead and RPM castor blocks and RPM front and rear bearing carriers right when you buy your truck... might as well. if your just a little rough with the truck they wont last long..
Awesome part. Super tough. Don't waste your money on traxxas part they just break again and again.
They Suck! Don't waste your money. The center is too thick and when you install & tighten your wheels, they don't want to rotate. I also had to trim off excess on the carriers and my lower control arm due to interference fit. Traxxas replacement are only 1/3 the cash.
Kinda bummed they needed some internal clearance work done to get the bearings to fit properly and still be able to get the pin through the axle
These doesn't work with stock teflon washer and bearings. The inner wall is thick therefore wheel doesn't rotate freely. Won't recommend.
Six reviews of the RPM front bearing carrier set for Traxxas Slash/Bandit/Rustler/Stampede (black) are mixed. Two reviewers praise durability and report no breakages, one saying they are lighter and stronger than stock and cheaper than aluminium. Others report fit problems: the inner wall or centre is described as too thick, so bearings bind or wheels do not rotate freely with stock washers and bearings. Some needed to trim carriers or the lower control arm, or do internal clearance work to fit the pin. Two reviewers call the parts unreliable or not worth the price compared with Traxxas replacements, though one of these also says the part is tough. Fit is the recurring issue, and the reviews are split on durability.
- + Durable, few or no breakages reported
- + Lighter and stronger than stock
- + Cheaper than aluminium alternatives
- − Inner wall too thick, wheels bind
- − Needs trimming or clearance work to fit
- − Interference with lower control arm
- − Traxxas replacements cheaper
