Outer portal housing in machined aluminium

This RC-scale outer portal drive housing is intended for Traxxas TRX-4 scale and trail crawler models. The part is a gun metal machined aluminium outer shell designated as a front/rear outer portal housing to replace damaged or aged plastic covers while keeping the portal axle geometry unchanged.

The housing serves as a tough external cover for the portal assembly and helps preserve correct wheel offset and axle alignment when fitted as a direct replacement on compatible TRX-4 portal components. It is useful for builders seeking a metal exterior that resists abrasion and complements other aluminium upgrades on the vehicle.

Installation is suitable for those with TRX-4 servicing experience: remove the wheel and OEM outer housing per normal procedure, swap in the aluminium outer shell, and fasten using the original hardware. Follow Traxxas factory instructions for fastener seating and bearing retention, and confirm all clearances before driving.

Which TRX-4 parts does this replace?

This outer housing replaces the original front and rear outer portal covers on Traxxas TRX-4 portal axle assemblies.

Do I need new fasteners to fit it?

In most cases the housing is designed to use the factory fasteners and mounting points; ensure you follow Traxxas recommendations for correct seating and torque when refitting.

Why choose aluminium over plastic?

Aluminium provides a harder external surface with improved abrasion resistance and a more authentic scale look compared with plastic outer covers, while maintaining the original portal geometry when installed correctly.
