Overview
The Traxxas Bulkhead, Rear (upper and lower) TRX8928 is an essential chassis spare part designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and precision in their models. This genuine Traxxas component comprises both the upper and lower rear bulkhead halves, providing the structural foundation that keeps your RC truck's rear end rigid and properly aligned during intense driving sessions. Whether you're bashing at high speeds on rough terrain or competing in organised RC events across the UK, a sturdy rear bulkhead is critical to maintaining your vehicle's performance and durability.
Bulkheads are fundamental structural components in RC car design, serving as the mounting points for suspension arms, motor mounts, and other critical chassis elements. Over time, through aggressive use or accidents, rear bulkheads can crack or wear, compromising your model's handling and causing misalignment of suspension geometry. Having a genuine replacement bulkhead on hand ensures you can quickly get back on the track or trail without compromising quality or fit. This spare part is manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance with your compatible model.
The TRX8928 is compatible with some of Traxxas's most popular and powerful 1/8 scale models, including the legendary Maxx Slash and the mighty WideMaxx monster truck ranges. If you own a ready to run RC truck from Traxxas's modern roster and want to keep it performing at its best, this is exactly the replacement component you need in your spare parts collection.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Bulkhead TRX8928 is engineered to handle the demanding requirements of high-performance 1/8 scale RC trucks. This component is specifically designed for use on the Traxxas Maxx Slash brushless short course truck range, available in Rock N Roll, Blue, Red and Green colour variants, as well as the powerful WideMaxx monster truck series in Rock N Roll, Red and Green finishes.
