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.

- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — This is an authentic Traxxas spare part manufactured to the exact specifications required for perfect fitment and durability, ensuring you're not compromising your model's integrity with inferior aftermarket alternatives.
- Dual-Piece Construction — The upper and lower bulkhead halves work together to create a rigid structural platform that maintains proper suspension geometry and chassis alignment even under extreme driving conditions.

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. Both the Maxx Slash and WideMaxx are 1/8 scale vehicles featuring 4WD drivetrains with brushless motor systems and 6S LiPo battery capability, delivering serious performance that demands durable, precision-engineered components. The rear bulkhead must withstand the forces generated by these powerful drivetrain systems whilst maintaining precise suspension mounting geometry. This genuine Traxxas part is constructed to absorb impacts and vibration without flexing or warping, ensuring your suspension arms remain properly aligned and your handling remains consistent lap after lap or bash session after bash session. The dual-piece design allows for straightforward installation and replacement, making this an essential item for any serious RC enthusiast who runs their truck regularly on challenging UK terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models does the TRX8928 rear bulkhead fit? — The TRX8928 is compatible with the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck in all colour variants (Rock N Roll, Blue, Red and Green), as well as the Traxxas WideMaxx monster truck series (Red, Rock N Roll and Green models).

- Why would I need to replace my rear bulkhead? — Rear bulkheads are structural components that endure constant stress during driving. Impacts, aggressive cornering, jumps and general wear can cause cracking or warping, which compromises suspension alignment and handling. A replacement ensures your truck maintains factory performance and geometry.
- Is this part difficult to install? — The rear bulkhead is a core chassis component that requires disassembly of suspension and drivetrain elements to replace. If you're experienced with RC maintenance and have the necessary tools, installation is straightforward. If you're less experienced, we'd recommend consulting Traxxas's detailed instruction manuals or seeking assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM Traxxas component, not an aftermarket alternative. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment, durability and compatibility with your model, maintaining your truck's performance and warranty status.
- What's the difference between upper and lower bulkhead halves? — Traxxas bulkheads are typically supplied as two complementary halves that bolt together to form the complete rear chassis structure. Both pieces are equally important and must be installed correctly to maintain proper geometry and performance.
