If you're running a brushless RC Slash 4x4 or any compatible Traxxas short course truck and want to upgrade your vehicle's appearance and functionality, this is the accessory that will make the most visible difference to your model.

Key Features

• No Clip Design — This revolutionary mounting system completely eliminates traditional body clips that are easily lost during jumps and flips, solving one of the most common frustrations experienced by RC enthusiasts with short course trucks and ensuring you never lose a clip during a bash session again.
• Scale Radiator and Fan Shrouds — Based on authentic full-sized desert truck radiators, the integrated mock radiator and fan shrouds add genuine scale realism to your Traxxas Slash 4x4, transforming it from a generic plastic truck into a detailed scale model that looks impressive both on display and during action shots.
• Fan Shrouds as Locking Mechanisms — The ingenious design uses the fan shrouds as the actual locking mechanism for the body, meaning your body is secured by rotating the fan shrouds into place, combining form and function in a single elegant solution that feels intuitive to use.
• Vertical Body Adjustability — For the first time on the standard Traxxas Slash 4x4, you can now adjust your body position vertically by up to 3/16 inch (4.8mm) downward or 3/8 inch (9.5mm) upward from the stock position, giving you precision control over tyre clearance and stance.
• Eliminates Through-Body Posts — By completely removing the need for visible body posts that penetrate your bodywork, you preserve your paint job and maintain clean body lines that are essential for achieving that coveted scale appearance on your RC car.
• Under-Body Frame Design — The mounting system features an intelligent under-body frame that hides four unobtrusive mounting screws from view, ensuring that everything visible on the exterior maintains the scale aesthetic while the functional components remain concealed.
• Simple Installation Process — The mounting procedure is straightforward: slip the front under-body frame into the adjustable front catch, drop the rear locks beneath the radiator into the lock plate, and rotate the fan shrouds to secure, making installation quick and hassle-free.
• Engineering Grade Nylon Construction — Built from RPM's trademark blend of engineering-grade nylons, these mounts deliver the durability and strength required for regular bashing whilst maintaining their lightweight profile and detailed appearance.
• Complete System Included — Each RPM No Clips Body Mount system arrives with everything you need to install it on your Traxxas Slash 4x4, eliminating the need to source additional hardware or components separately.

Technical Performance

The RPM No Clips Body Mounts represent a significant engineering achievement in RC body mounting technology. Unlike generic body clip solutions that sacrifice scale appearance for functionality, these mounts successfully merge both objectives through precision injection moulding of engineering-grade nylons. The material selection ensures that the mounting system withstands repeated impacts and vibrations from aggressive RC driving whilst maintaining its dimensional accuracy and locking integrity over extended periods of use. The vertical adjustability range of 3/16 inch to 3/8 inch provides meaningful clearance adjustment for enthusiasts running lowered setups or dealing with tyre rub issues in the wheel wells, a problem that plagues many short course truck owners. The mock radiator and fan shroud assembly is modelled after full-sized desert truck specifications, meaning the proportions and details are authentic to real-world vehicles, making this the ideal upgrade for scale-focused RC bashers who refuse to compromise on realism. The under-body frame construction provides a stable mounting foundation whilst remaining virtually invisible when the body is installed. Installation requires no special tools beyond standard Allen keys and can be completed in minutes once you understand the simple snap-and-rotate locking process. These mounts are designed specifically for Traxxas short course bodies and have been engineered to work with stock Traxxas body styles, ensuring perfect fitment on compatible Slash 4x4 trucks.

Compatibility and Technical Notes

The RPM No Clips Body Mounts are specifically designed for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 1/10 scale short course truck and are compatible with most stock Traxxas short course bodies. However, there are important compatibility restrictions you should be aware of before purchasing. These mounts will not function with the Traxxas On Board Audio System (OBA), so if you're running audio equipment in your truck, you'll need to remove it before installing these mounts.

The following Traxxas bodies are NOT compatible with this system: Ford Raptor bodies (part numbers 5815, 5815A, 5815R, 5815X, 5826, 5826A, 5826R, and 5826X), Rob MacCachren Dodge body (6833), and Dakar bodies (58044, 5818, 5818A, and 5820A). These mounts have not been tested with any aftermarket or third-party bodies and are only guaranteed to fit stock Traxxas bodywork based on the 5811, 5811X, or 6811 body styles.

Compatible stock Traxxas bodies include: No Number Plate Bodies (5811, 5811X, 5816, 5817, 5819, 5825) and Number Plate Bodies (6811, 6811X, 6817, 6818, 6820, 6821, 6825, 6825X, 6826, 6826R, 6831, 6849, and 6889). Before ordering, verify that your Traxxas Slash 4x4 body matches one of these part numbers to ensure perfect compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the RPM No Clips Body Mounts work with my Traxxas Slash 4x4 body? — The mounts are designed for most stock Traxxas short course bodies and are guaranteed to fit bodies based on the 5811, 5811X, 6811, or 6811X styles. Check your Traxxas body part number against the compatibility list provided. Ford Raptor bodies, Rob MacCachren Dodge bodies, and Dakar bodies are not compatible, and aftermarket bodies have not been tested, so stock Traxxas bodies are essential for proper fitment.
• Can I use these mounts with the Traxxas On Board Audio System? — No, the RPM No Clips Body Mounts are not compatible with the Traxxas OBA system. If you're running audio equipment, you will need to remove it to use these mounts.
• How much vertical adjustment is available with these mounts? — These mounts offer vertical adjustability of up to 3/16 inch (4.8mm) lower than stock or up to 3/8 inch (9.5mm) higher than stock position, giving you significant control over your truck's stance and wheel well clearance.
• Will these mounts help prevent tyre rub damage to my body? — Yes, the vertical adjustability allows you to raise the body higher than stock, which is particularly useful if you're experiencing tyre rub in the wheel wells that damages your paint job. This is one of the primary benefits for users running lowered suspension setups.
• How do I install these body mounts? — Installation is straightforward: insert the front under-body frame into the adjustable front catch, position the rear locking mechanism below the radiator into the lock plate, and rotate the fan shrouds until they lock securely in place. Complete installation takes only a few minutes with basic tools.
• Are these mounts difficult to use during regular body removal? — No, the system is designed for simplicity. Simply reverse the installation process: rotate the fan shrouds to release, lift the rear locks from the lock plate, and slide the front frame out of the catch. The process becomes intuitive with regular use.
• What material are these mounts made from? — These mounts are injection-moulded from RPM's trademark blend of engineering-grade nylons, which provides strength, durability, and impact resistance suitable for regular RC bashing and track driving.
• Do these mounts add significant weight to my truck? — The engineering-grade nylon construction keeps weight to a minimum whilst maintaining the strength and durability needed for reliable operation, ensuring these mounts won't negatively impact your truck's performance characteristics.
• Can I use aftermarket bodies with these mounts? — The mounts have not been tested with any aftermarket bodies and are only guaranteed to work with stock Traxxas bodywork. Aftermarket bodies may have different mounting hole positions or dimensions, so compatibility is not assured.
