Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to maintain your 4WD monster truck between races, a weekend basher pushing your truck to its limits, or someone new to the world of high-performance brushless RC vehicles, having access to genuine replacement parts is essential. This rear body support is in stock and ready to ship, allowing you to get your X-Maxx back into action without unnecessary downtime.
Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — This is not an aftermarket clone or third-party approximation; it is the exact same part that comes factory-fitted to new Traxxas X-Maxx trucks, guaranteeing perfect fitment, durability, and performance characteristics that match the original specifications.
- Rear Chassis Support — The body support plays a vital structural role by maintaining proper alignment between the chassis frame and the truck's bodywork, which is essential for handling characteristics, weight distribution, and overall driving dynamics on rough terrain.
- Includes Complete Hardware Kit — Rather than just the plastic body support component alone, this package includes all necessary mounting hardware: two 3x15mm counter-sunk (CS) machine screws and two 3x15mm flat-head machine screws, eliminating the need to source additional fasteners.
- Counter-Sunk Fasteners — The inclusion of counter-sunk machine screws ensures a flush, professional finish with no protruding screw heads that might catch on obstacles or compromise the aerodynamic profile of your truck's bodywork.
- Flat-Head Machine Screws — The flat-head fasteners provide additional mounting options and alternative configuration possibilities, offering flexibility in how the body support can be secured depending on your specific setup requirements.
- Compatible with Multiple X-Maxx Variants — This rear body support fits the entire current X-Maxx range, including the standard Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S model in all available colours and the X-Maxx Ultimate versions, making it a universal solution for X-Maxx owners.
- Factory-Specified Materials and Dimensions — Traxxas engineers designed this component with specific material durability, thickness, and geometry to withstand the enormous forces generated by 8S LiPo batteries, brushless motors, and extreme driving conditions that define the X-Maxx experience.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas X-Maxx is one of the most powerful consumer-grade RC monster trucks available on the market today, featuring an 8S LiPo-powered brushless drivetrain capable of generating truly extraordinary acceleration and top speed. The rear body support is engineered to manage the structural demands placed on the chassis by this extreme performance envelope. As the truck launches from a standstill, accelerates across rough terrain, or experiences the impact forces of landing jumps and driving over obstacles, the body support maintains the precise geometric relationship between the plastic body shell and the aluminium chassis frame. This alignment is critical for optimal weight distribution, suspension geometry, and handling characteristics. The component is manufactured from durable engineering-grade plastic that resists cracking under repeated stress whilst remaining light enough not to add unnecessary mass to your truck. The fastening hardware—specifically the 3x15mm machine screws in both counter-sunk and flat-head configurations—provides multiple secure mounting points with sufficient surface area to distribute clamping forces evenly, preventing the support from loosening during aggressive driving sessions. The relatively small investment in a replacement body support is worthwhile insurance against more expensive damage to the chassis frame or body shell, which could result from improper support and misalignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas X-Maxx models does this rear body support fit? — This TRX7713X rear body support is compatible with all current Traxxas X-Maxx variants, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck available in orange, blue, red, and green colour options, as well as the X-Maxx Ultimate in blue and green variants. If you own any version of the X-Maxx, this is the correct replacement part for your truck.
- Why would I need to replace the rear body support on my X-Maxx? — The rear body support can crack, warp, or break due to the tremendous forces generated by 8S LiPo-powered brushless motors, especially if your truck lands hard from jumps, crashes into obstacles, or is driven aggressively on rough terrain. A damaged body support can lead to misalignment, poor handling, and potential damage to more expensive components like the chassis frame or motor mount.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part or an aftermarket alternative? — This is a genuine OEM Traxxas component manufactured to exact factory specifications. When you purchase TRX7713X from RC Model Shop, you are receiving the authentic part that Traxxas produces, not a cheaper third-party imitation, ensuring quality, reliability, and proper fitment.
- What do I need to install this body support on my X-Maxx? — Installation typically requires only a small Allen key or hex wrench (the size depending on your specific X-Maxx model year, usually 2.0mm or 1.5mm) and basic mechanical knowledge. The rear body support simply bolts to existing mounting points on your chassis frame using the included hardware, and the process usually takes just a few minutes.
- Are the screws included with this body support? — Yes, this package includes all necessary mounting hardware: two 3x15mm counter-sunk machine screws and two 3x15mm flat-head machine screws, so you don't need to purchase fasteners separately.
- How often might I need to replace the body support on my X-Maxx? — This depends entirely on driving style and intensity. Casual weekend bashers who avoid major crashes might never need replacement, whilst competitive racers or aggressive drivers might need a spare on hand. Having a replacement body support available ensures you're never sidelined by a broken component.
