Traxxas Rear Center Drive Hub
About this part
Reviews3.7 · 3 reviews
If you are considering this product, consider this: Buy at least 3 of 'em cause the front hub is without a doubt the fuse in the system and you will wind up having a bunch of rear hubs and no front wheel drive at some point. The front and rear hubs are not interchangeable. Save yourself the pain (and $$) and just get a front hub made of some sort of metal. That being said, this set performs as intended by the manufacturer and there is no fault in that.
Iv owned this for a while now and it hasntbrocken yet so yes its a pretty good upgrad for the slash4x4
Could this Hub set come in steel or SS. Because the plastic one break to often.
Reviewers describe the Traxxas Rear Center Drive Hub as performing as the manufacturer intended, with one owner reporting it has lasted a while without breaking and calling it a good upgrade for the Slash 4x4. A recurring concern is durability of the plastic hubs: one reviewer says they break too often and asks for a steel or stainless version. Another advises buying spares, noting the front hub is the weak point in the drivetrain and that front and rear hubs are not interchangeable. Overall, the reviews are few and mixed on longevity.
