TRAXXAS JATO 4X4 VXL rear stub axle carriers with oversized bearings by GPM TJ022  [TJ022]

Product Overview and Fitment

The GPM TJ022 rear stub axle carriers are an RC-scale upgrade designed for TRAXXAS JATO 4X4 VXL platforms. Machined from 7075 alloy and fitted with enlarged bearings, the parts aim to provide a firmer mounting point for the CVD and running bearings used at the rear stub axle. These carriers are intended for hobbyists who are retrofitting the 9080-series upgrade kit, and they will not fit standard suspension components.

Key details provided by the manufacturer include inner bearings sized 12x21x5 and outer bearings sized 6x13x4, an enlarged bearing footprint compared with the originals, and a pre-assembled package to simplify installation. The kit replaces the stock inner 12x18x4 and outer 6x12x4 bearings with larger units for a tighter bearing fit and reduced end-play at the stub axle.

Installation notes from the supplier indicate that all packaging accessories arrive pre-assembled, and the use of thread-lock on relevant fasteners is recommended to maintain stability and prevent loosening during regular RC operation. Because the carriers are tailored to the 9080 upgrade components, verify you have the correct upgrade kit before attempting fitment.

The GPM TJ022 rear stub axle carriers are a targeted upgrade for TRAXXAS models using the 9080-series kit, offering 7075 alloy construction and larger bearings to reduce play at the stub axle; confirm kit compatibility and secure fasteners with thread-lock during installation.
