It's a like-for-like replacement that restores your RC car's structural integrity and ensures consistent handling characteristics that competitive drivers depend on.
Key Features
- Complete Front Bulkhead Assembly — This component includes both the left and right bulkhead halves, which form the structural foundation of your RC car's front end and support the suspension components and differential mechanism. Having both halves ensures you can perform a complete front-end replacement if necessary.
- Integrated Differential Retainer — The included differential retainer keeps your front differential securely in place, preventing component separation during aggressive driving and ensuring reliable power delivery to your front wheels throughout your RC car's operation.
- Four 4x14mm Ball Cup Screws Included — These precision-engineered ball cup screws are essential fasteners that secure the bulkhead assembly and suspension components together, and having four spares means you're fully equipped for assembly or repair without hunting for additional hardware.
- Genuine OEM Traxxas Component — As an official Traxxas spare part, this bulkhead is manufactured to the exact same specifications and tolerances as the original equipment, guaranteeing perfect fit and reliable performance on compatible models without any compromise on quality or durability.
- Chassis Spare Classification — This is classified as a chassis spare, meaning it's a critical structural component that directly affects your RC car's handling, durability, and overall performance characteristics, making it a priority replacement when damaged.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas front bulkhead assembly represents precision engineering at its finest, manufactured using durable materials engineered to withstand the significant stresses placed on a modern RC car's chassis during operation. The bulkhead serves as the primary structural support for the front suspension system, differential assembly, and steering components, which means any damage or wear to this part can compromise handling, increase maintenance intervals, and reduce the lifespan of connected components. The inclusion of both left and right halves, combined with the differential retainer and four 4x14mm ball cup screws, creates a complete assembly solution that eliminates the need to source individual components separately. The ball cup screws are precision-manufactured to provide secure fastening while allowing for the fine suspension adjustments that competitive RC drivers require. This is a direct replacement component for compatible Traxxas vehicles, engineered to restore your RC car to factory specifications when original parts have become worn, cracked, or damaged through normal operation. The careful engineering of the bulkhead design distributes suspension loads evenly, contributing to predictable handling and responsive steering feel that both casual bashers and serious racers value equally.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this front bulkhead suitable for replacement on all Traxxas RC cars? — No, this part is specifically designed for compatible Traxxas models that use this particular bulkhead design. Always check your vehicle's manual or contact our team to verify compatibility before ordering, as using incorrect parts can affect performance and fit.
- What makes this an OEM part rather than an aftermarket alternative? — This is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component produced by Traxxas, meaning it's manufactured to the exact specifications of the original part. OEM parts guarantee perfect fit, reliable performance, and compatibility with your existing components, whereas aftermarket alternatives may vary in quality and dimensional accuracy.
- When should I replace my front bulkhead? — You should replace your front bulkhead if you notice visible cracks, breaks, or warping in the component, if the differential retainer is damaged or cracked, if your front end feels loose or unstable despite proper maintenance, or if you're rebuilding your RC car for competition or major maintenance. Regular inspection during maintenance routines will help you identify problems early.
- Can I install this bulkhead myself, or do I need professional help? — Most experienced RC enthusiasts can install this component with basic tools and mechanical knowledge, as the installation involves removing fasteners and carefully positioning the new bulkhead halves. However, if you're unfamiliar with RC car disassembly, visiting an experienced RC retailer or having a skilled friend assist is recommended to ensure correct installation and alignment.
- What is the differential retainer and why is it included? — The differential retainer is a component that keeps your front differential assembly securely positioned within the bulkhead, preventing movement and separation during driving. Including it in this kit ensures you have all necessary parts for a complete front-end rebuild without purchasing additional components separately.
- Are the 4x14mm ball cup screws standard parts I can source elsewhere? — These are Traxxas-specification ball cup screws that are commonly used in Traxxas suspension systems, but using genuine Traxxas fasteners ensures correct fit, proper thread engagement, and reliability. If you lose these screws during installation, replacements are readily available from RC retailers across the UK.
