What does this replace?

It replaces the plastic 02013 rear hub carrier. The set gives you two aluminum carriers.

No. You need 02098 3x3mm set screws to complete the install, sold separately.

Do I need thread lock?

Yes. Redcat says to apply blue thread lock to any screw threaded into aluminum parts.

It is the best new price among the three stores listing it as of November 6, 2026, and sits at the low end of its recent range.

They flex less than plastic, so hard hits pass more force to the suspension arms and hinge pins. That is the trade-off for the stiffer rear end.
