Key Features
- Red-anodised aluminium construction — The vibrant red finish provides excellent corrosion resistance whilst giving your RC car a premium, personalised appearance that stands out from standard black plastic components.
- Front and rear bulkhead reinforcement — These tie bars work on both the front and rear bulkheads, providing comprehensive structural support across the entire chassis for improved rigidity and durability during high-speed runs and impacts.
- Compatible with multiple Traxxas models — These bulkhead tie bars work with a wide range of current Traxxas 1/10 scale vehicles including the Ford Fiesta ST Rally series, Rustler 4X4 HD VXL, Rustler Ultimate VXL, and Slash Ultimate and Slash VXL variants, making them a versatile upgrade option.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM part — Manufactured by Traxxas to factory specifications, ensuring perfect fit, finish and performance with zero compatibility issues or fitment concerns.
- Precision 2.5x6mm screw compatibility — Designed to work seamlessly with standard Traxxas fasteners, these tie bars integrate perfectly into your existing build without requiring adapters or modifications.
- Enhanced chassis rigidity — The aluminium material resists flexing and bending under load, providing improved structural integrity that translates to more predictable handling and reduced component wear.
- Lightweight design — Aluminium construction keeps weight to a minimum compared to steel alternatives, helping maintain your RC car's performance characteristics and acceleration.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas bulkhead tie bars are engineered using premium-grade anodised aluminium, a material recognised across the RC hobby for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The red-anodised finish serves multiple purposes: it provides a protective oxide layer that shields the aluminium from moisture and oxidation, whilst the vibrant colour adds visual distinction to your RC car's chassis. The precision manufacturing ensures these components maintain exact factory tolerances, guaranteeing perfect fitment with Traxxas bulkheads and compatible fastening points. The 2.5x6mm screw specification is standard across multiple Traxxas 1/10 scale platforms, making these bulkhead tie bars a universal upgrade solution for Traxxas enthusiasts. Whether you're upgrading a Traxxas Rustler 4X4 HD VXL brushless short course truck, a Slash VXL RTR short course truck, or a Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S rally car, these components provide measurable improvements in chassis rigidity that reduce flex and improve handling consistency. For competitive racers and serious bashers alike, the structural enhancement provided by these tie bars can mean the difference between a damaged chassis and one that continues performing reliably through multiple seasons of intense driving. The aluminium construction also offers superior impact absorption compared to plastic alternatives, helping to dissipate energy from crashes and jumps rather than transferring it to other chassis components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models are compatible with the TRX6823R bulkhead tie bars? — These bulkhead tie bars are compatible with the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL, Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S, Rustler 4X4 HD VXL in all colour variants (blue, orange, green, red), Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4, Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, and Slash VXL 4x4 in all available colours. Check your vehicle's model number against the compatibility list to confirm compatibility before purchase.
- Are these bulkhead tie bars suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are suitable for all skill levels. Beginners upgrading their entry-level Traxxas RC car will benefit from improved chassis rigidity, whilst experienced racers and bashers will appreciate the performance enhancement and durability. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience.
- What makes red-anodised aluminium better than standard plastic tie bars? — Anodised aluminium is significantly stronger and more rigid than plastic, meaning it resists bending and deformation during aggressive driving, impacts and jumps. The anodised finish provides excellent corrosion protection, ensuring these components remain pristine-looking and fully functional through years of use. Additionally, the vibrant red finish adds aesthetic appeal and customisation options to your RC vehicle.
- Do I need any special tools to install these bulkhead tie bars? — No special tools are required. Standard RC tools such as ball-end hex drivers to fit the 2.5x6mm fasteners are all you need. Installation follows Traxxas standard procedures outlined in your vehicle's manual.
- How much stronger are these compared to standard plastic bulkhead components? — Aluminium offers considerably greater strength and rigidity compared to plastic bulkheads. This translates to less chassis flex during cornering, jumping and high-speed runs, resulting in more predictable handling and extended component lifespan due to reduced stress on supporting parts.
- Can I use these bulkhead tie bars on other brands of RC cars? — These are specifically designed for Traxxas vehicles with matching bulkhead specifications. Whilst you should not attempt to force them onto non-Traxxas models, you can check compatibility by comparing your vehicle's bulkhead mounting points to Traxxas specifications.
- What is the difference between the red-anodised version and other colour options? — The red-anodised finish is purely aesthetic; performance characteristics are identical across all colour variants. The anodised coating process is the same regardless of colour, providing equivalent corrosion resistance and durability. Choose the colour that best matches your RC car's overall scheme or personal preference.
