Overview
RPM Body Savers for the Revo 2.0 are an essential protective upgrade for anyone serious about preserving their Traxxas RC truck body. If you've ever experienced the frustration of mounting screws pulling through your body, or noticed cracks developing around the body mount holes, you'll understand why this product exists. RPM engineers were shocked to discover that even brand new Revo 2.0 bodies showed signs of weakness around the mounting holes before they were even run. This innovative solution offers a clever way to reinforce your body mounting system without resorting to ugly, thick washers or the expense of buying a replacement body.
Whether you're a dedicated RC basher, a weekend racer, or someone who's invested in a quality RC truck body, RPM Body Savers represent a smart investment that can extend the life of your Traxxas Revo 2.0 body significantly. Unlike traditional washers that sit visibly on your body, these clever reinforcements are disguised as genuine design elements—hood vents at the front and roll cage details at the rear—so your truck maintains its authentic appearance while gaining serious structural protection. This is the kind of practical upgrade that separates experienced RC enthusiasts from casual users.
For anyone in the UK looking for reliable RC spares and tune-up options for their Traxxas collection, RPM Body Savers represent the kind of engineering-led solution that makes the difference between a body that lasts months and one that survives years of bashing, racing and modification. These are not generic washers—they're purpose-engineered components designed specifically for the Revo 2.0 body mounting system.
Key Features
- Disguised Reinforcement Design — Rather than using obvious, unsightly washers, RPM Body Savers are moulded to look like genuine body features: hood vents at the front and exposed roll cage sections at the rear, so your truck looks stock while being structurally reinforced.
- Pressure Dispersal System — The Body Savers tie pairs of mounting screws together, spreading the clamping force across a much wider area of the body than standard washers can achieve, preventing the concentrated pressure that causes holes to strip and tear.
- Extreme Durability After Damage — Even if the bottom mounting holes in your body have been completely ripped out from previous crashes and heavy impacts, the RPM Body Savers system still functions effectively, providing a second chance to destroyed mounting points.
- Engineering Grade Nylon Construction — Moulded from ultra-strong engineering grade nylon in black, these components are built to withstand the rigours of RC bashing, racing and continuous use without degrading, cracking or failing.
- Complete Four-Pack Kit — Each kit includes four Body Savers: two for the front mounting system and two for the rear, giving you complete body reinforcement from a single purchase.
- Cost-Effective Body Protection — Avoid the expense of replacing an £85 body by investing in these affordable protective components that extend body life dramatically.
Technical Performance
RPM Body Savers are engineered with serious attention to structural mechanics. The system works by distributing the load of body mounting across a wider surface area than conventional washers, addressing the fundamental problem that Traxxas identified in their own testing: the Revo 2.0 body mounting holes are inherently weak points that can crack even in new, unrun bodies. The mounting system uses two pairs of screws at both the front and rear of the truck body, and RPM's Body Savers connect these screw pairs together, creating a much more robust clamping arrangement. The moulded construction from engineering grade nylon provides excellent rigidity whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring no performance penalty whilst providing maximum protection. The clever disguise as hood vents and roll cage details means the protection is completely invisible to the naked eye—your truck looks stock standard whilst benefiting from serious structural reinforcement. This engineering approach means the system continues to work even in extreme scenarios where the mounting holes have suffered catastrophic damage from impacts and crashes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will RPM Body Savers work with my Traxxas Revo 2.0 body? — RPM Body Savers are designed to work specifically with Traxxas bodies numbered #8611, #8611A, and #8611G only. They have not been tested nor are they guaranteed to work with any other Traxxas bodies or aftermarket body options, so it's essential to verify your body number before purchasing.
- What happens if my mounting holes are already damaged or torn? — One of the key advantages of RPM Body Savers is that they work effectively even when the bottom of the mounting holes have been completely ripped out from previous crashes. The dispersal system distributes pressure across a wider area, so even severely damaged holes can be secured reliably.
- Will they look obvious on my body? — No, that's the clever design. At the front, the Body Savers are moulded to look like hood vents, and at the rear they resemble exposed sections of a roll cage. They integrate seamlessly with the body design, so your truck maintains its original appearance whilst gaining serious structural protection.
- How much better are these than standard washers? — RPM Body Savers disperse pressure over a much wider area of the body than even thick standard washers can achieve. This wider contact area prevents the concentrated stress that causes mounting holes to strip and tear, addressing the fundamental design weakness identified in the Revo 2.0 body.
- Are these suitable for bashers or just racers? — RPM Body Savers are ideal for any Revo 2.0 owner, whether you're a weekend basher, competitive racer, or someone who regularly performs modifications. Anyone who wants to extend their body life and avoid expensive replacements will benefit from these components.
- What colour are they? — RPM Body Savers are moulded in black from engineering grade nylon, which provides excellent visibility and looks intentional as part of the body design.
