Overview
The Traxxas Body Mount Rear/Body Mount Posts, Front (Part Number TRX7015) is an essential replacement and upgrade component for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand precision engineering and reliable performance from their Traxxas models. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher looking to maintain your vehicle in top condition, these front and rear body mounts with adjustable posts represent genuine Traxxas quality and engineering excellence. This component is designed to provide secure and stable body positioning on compatible Traxxas RC vehicles, ensuring optimal weight distribution, improved handling characteristics, and enhanced overall performance during high-speed runs, jumps, and aggressive driving.
Body mounts are critical components in any RC car setup because they directly affect how the chassis responds to impact, terrain variations, and cornering forces. The adjustable nature of these posts allows experienced builders and tuners to fine-tune their vehicle's ride height, body clearance, and suspension geometry to match specific driving styles, track conditions, and personal preferences. Whether you're upgrading a ready to run RC vehicle or building a custom setup, having quality body mounts ensures your bodywork stays firmly in place without excessive movement that could compromise aerodynamics, weight distribution, or protection of internal electronics.
The TRX7015 is compatible with several popular Traxxas models, including the E-Revo VXL 1:16 4x4 RTR Brushless Monster Truck in both Purple and Blue X colour options, as well as the Slash 1:16 4x4 RTR Short Course Truck. This compatibility makes it an ideal choice for owners of these vehicles who need replacement parts after wear, damage, or simply want to experiment with different mounting configurations to optimise their RC truck's performance and handling characteristics.
Key Features
- Front and Rear Body Mounts — This component includes both front and rear mounting solutions, providing a complete system for securing and positioning your RC car's bodywork at multiple points, which ensures balanced weight distribution and reduces unwanted body flex during aggressive driving and high-speed cornering.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX7015 body mount system represents precision engineering focused on delivering reliable performance across a range of Traxxas 1/16 scale RC vehicles. The adjustable body posts are manufactured from durable materials capable of withstanding the impacts, vibrations, and stress encountered during typical RC car UK operation, whether you're enjoying casual backyard bashing or participating in organised club racing. The adjustability feature is particularly valuable because it allows you to optimise your vehicle's centre of gravity, aerodynamic profile, and suspension response characteristics. By raising or lowering the body mount posts, you can effectively change how much the body moves relative to the chassis, which directly impacts how the vehicle's weight transfers during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This level of tuning capability, typically found in competition-grade RC setups, is now accessible to owners of Traxxas ready to run vehicles, enabling them to extract maximum performance and handling precision from their investments. The component is engineered to maintain secure, vibration-free body positioning even under the most demanding conditions, protecting both the bodywork and the internal electronics from damage caused by loose mounting or excessive body movement.

- Why would I need replacement body mounts for my RC vehicle? — Body mounts can wear out, crack, or become damaged through normal use, impacts with obstacles, or aggressive driving. Additionally, many RC enthusiasts purchase replacement body mounts to experiment with different ride heights and body clearances, allowing them to fine-tune their vehicle's handling characteristics and performance for specific track conditions or driving styles. Having spare mounts ensures your RC car UK is always ready for action without downtime for repairs.
- Can these body mounts improve my vehicle's handling? — Yes, the adjustable body posts included with the TRX7015 allow you to modify your vehicle's geometry and weight distribution. By adjusting the height of the body relative to the chassis, you can change how the suspension responds to impacts and cornering forces, potentially improving stability, traction, and overall handling precision. Experimentation with different post positions is a common tuning technique used by competitive RC drivers to optimise performance for specific conditions.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, the TRX7015 is suitable for owners of compatible Traxxas vehicles at all skill levels. Beginners can use the standard mounting configuration, whilst more experienced enthusiasts can adjust the body posts to fine-tune their vehicle's performance. The component is straightforward to install and requires no specialist tools or technical knowledge beyond basic RC vehicle maintenance.
- What is the difference between these body mounts and the TRX1914R? — Both products are Traxxas body mount solutions, but they are designed for different vehicle models and may have different specifications or mounting configurations. The TRX7015 is specifically engineered for the E-Revo VXL and Slash 1:16 series, whilst the TRX1914R is compatible with other Traxxas platforms.
