Technical Performance
The Traxxas Side Marker Light Housing is engineered with the same precision and attention to detail that defines Traxxas's reputation in the RC industry. These housings are manufactured from durable engineering-grade plastics that resist the wear and tear of regular off-road use, whether you're running your TRX-6 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG XL-5 1/10 scale 6x6 crawler on rocky terrain, muddy trails or urban environments. The included lens covers are optically clear, designed to either diffuse integrated LED light sources or simply protect the housing interior from environmental contamination. The mounting brackets are precision-engineered to eliminate rattle and ensure the housings remain firmly positioned even during aggressive driving or competition-level crawling runs. The self-tapping fasteners provided (1.6x7mm BCS screws) are stainless steel and designed to create secure threads in the plastic mounting points without splitting or cracking the chassis material. This complete system reflects Traxxas's commitment to engineering quality, ensuring that your side marker light housings will perform reliably whether you're completing a light restoration, replacing damaged parts after an accident, or building out a completely customised scale replica of the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG.
