Overview
The Traxxas Bulkhead, Rear (upper and lower) / 4x12mm BCS (6 pcs) TRX8629 is an essential replacement chassis spare part for E-Revo VXL owners and RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and precision engineering. This genuine Traxxas component forms a critical part of your RC car's structural integrity, providing the foundation for rear suspension geometry and overall chassis strength. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or someone who simply wants to maintain their brushless RC vehicle to the highest standards, having quality replacement bulkheads on hand ensures your E-Revo VXL continues to perform at its absolute best.
Chassis spares like the rear bulkhead assembly are among the most important components in any high-performance RC model. The bulkhead serves as the mounting point for suspension components, shock towers, and the rear differential, making it integral to how your RC car handles, corners, and absorbs impacts during aggressive driving. When you invest in genuine Traxxas spares for your brushless RC car UK, you're ensuring compatibility, durability, and the same engineering excellence that made the E-Revo VXL one of the most respected names in off-road RC motorsport.
This particular part replaces both the upper and lower rear bulkhead halves as a complete assembly, meaning you get everything needed to restore your chassis to factory specifications in one convenient package. The inclusion of six 4x12mm BCS (button cap screws) ensures secure fastening and means you won't be caught short hunting for the correct hardware. For anyone maintaining an E-Revo VXL or upgrading their RC model setup, this is a part that delivers genuine value and peace of mind.
Key Features
- Complete Upper and Lower Bulkhead Assembly — This part includes both the upper and lower rear bulkhead halves, providing a complete solution for replacing damaged or worn components, eliminating the need to purchase multiple parts separately and saving time and effort during repairs.
- Genuine Traxxas Manufacturing — As an official Traxxas component, this bulkhead is manufactured to exacting standards using the same materials and tolerances as original equipment, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your E-Revo VXL chassis and suspension system.
- Six 4x12mm Button Cap Screws Included — The package comes with all necessary fasteners (BCS stands for Button Cap Screws), eliminating the frustration of having to source screws separately and ensuring you have the correct specification hardware for secure assembly.
- Designed for 8622 Chassis Compatibility — This bulkhead is specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas 8622 chassis platform, guaranteeing perfect alignment with all other components and maintaining the precise suspension geometry your RC car depends on for optimal handling and performance.
- Heavy-Duty Construction — The rear bulkhead must withstand tremendous forces during cornering, acceleration, and impact absorption, and this part is engineered from durable materials to resist cracking, warping, and premature wear even under aggressive driving conditions.
- Critical Suspension Mounting Point — The rear bulkhead serves as the mounting platform for your shock towers, differential, and rear suspension links, making it absolutely essential for maintaining proper suspension geometry and ensuring your RC vehicle maintains its intended handling characteristics.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas rear bulkhead assembly is engineered to handle the demanding requirements of high-performance RC vehicles. As a structural chassis component for the E-Revo VXL brushless platform, the bulkhead must maintain rigid alignment under the stresses imposed by powerful brushless motors, responsive steering inputs, and energetic driving styles. The use of precision-moulded or machined components ensures that suspension mounting points remain perfectly aligned, maintaining the correct camber, toe, and ride height geometry that allows your RC car UK to deliver consistent handling and predictable performance lap after lap. The six 4x12mm button cap screws provide secure fastening that resists vibration loosening during the intense demands of off-road driving. Quality matters in chassis spares because even small deviations in bulkhead geometry can translate into noticeable changes in how your vehicle handles, steers, and responds to driver inputs. By choosing genuine Traxxas spares, you're maintaining the engineering integrity that makes the E-Revo VXL such a capable and respected platform in the RC hobby.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this rear bulkhead fit my E-Revo VXL? — Yes, this part is designed specifically for E-Revo VXL models and requires the Traxxas 8622 chassis for fitment. Check that your vehicle uses this chassis platform before ordering to ensure compatibility with your particular E-Revo variant.
- What happens if my bulkhead is damaged? — A damaged rear bulkhead can compromise suspension alignment, leading to handling issues, uneven tyre wear, and potential further damage to suspension components. Replacing it promptly restores your RC car to proper working condition and prevents secondary damage to other parts.
- Do I need any other parts to replace the bulkhead? — The bulkhead assembly comes with all fasteners you need. However, depending on the extent of damage, you may also need to replace suspension components like shock towers or differential mounts if they were damaged in the same incident.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, this is an official Traxxas component part numbered TRX8629, manufactured to original specifications and ensuring perfect compatibility with your E-Revo VXL platform.
- How difficult is it to replace the rear bulkhead? — Bulkhead replacement is a moderate-difficulty task suitable for intermediate RC enthusiasts. You'll need to remove the suspension assembly, unbolt the old bulkhead, and install the new one with the provided screws. A basic set of RC tools and some mechanical aptitude are required.
- Can I use third-party bulkheads instead? — We recommend sticking with genuine Traxxas parts to ensure perfect fit, alignment, and longevity. Third-party alternatives may have tolerance variations that affect suspension geometry and handling precision.
