Overview
Eliminate hinge-pin failures on your Traxxas Slash, Rustler, or Stampede 2WD with the Hot Racing Hardened Chrome-Plated Steel Hinge-Pin Kit. Centerless-ground from high-quality #45 carbon steel, heat-treated for durability, and polished for ultra-smooth pivot action, this complete hinge-pin set replaces every wear-prone factory pin with a tougher, longer-lasting alternative.
Even better, the kit uses a lock-nut retention design — nylon-insert lock-nuts on each end of the hinge-pin prevent the pins from ever working loose during hard bashing or aggressive driving. No more lost pins, no more rattling suspension, just rock-solid suspension geometry every run.
Key Features
- Centerless-ground high-quality #45 carbon steel
- Heat-treated for increased durability
- Polished surface for ultra-smooth pivot action
- Chrome-plated for corrosion resistance
- Lock-nut retention prevents pins from working loose
- Complete kit covers all hinge-pin locations on the Slash, Rustler & Stampede 2WD
Performance Benefits
- Smoother suspension articulation

Usage Notes
Inspect arms and bushings during installation; replace any worn parts at the same time for a complete suspension refresh. Use the included lock-nuts on each pin end — that's the key to preventing pin loss during aggressive driving.
