Overview
The Traxxas Body Washers TRX1815 are essential protective components for any RC enthusiast who wants to safeguard their RC car's body shell during use. These precision-engineered washers are specifically designed to work with Traxxas vehicles, offering reliable protection that keeps your RC model looking pristine and functioning optimally. Whether you're running a Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally, Slash Ultimate, or another compatible Traxxas RC car in the UK, these body washers provide crucial protection between the body posts and your vehicle's shell.
If you're serious about maintaining your RC car UK investment, body washers are an often-overlooked but genuinely important accessory. They sit between the body mounting points and your RC car's shell, distributing pressure evenly and preventing damage that can occur from over-tightening or vibration during high-speed runs. Many RC enthusiasts discover the hard way that metal washers alone can cause cosmetic damage to painted body shells—these plastic washers from Traxxas eliminate that risk entirely. They're perfect for weekend bashers, competitive racers, and dedicated RC hobbyists who want to keep their brushless RC vehicles in showroom condition.
This pack contains 8 individual body washers, giving you plenty of spares for multiple RC cars or long-term protection. At RC Model Shop, we stock genuine Traxxas parts, and this TRX1815 component is a trusted choice among the RC community. Customer reviews consistently praise their fit and functionality, making them a smart addition to your RC car maintenance kit.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body Washers TRX1815 represent precision engineering focused on protection and durability. Manufactured by Traxxas, one of the world's leading RC vehicle manufacturers, these washers are made from high-quality plastic material specifically formulated to withstand the demands of RC use without degrading or becoming brittle. The design ensures even pressure distribution across all body mounting points, which is critical for maintaining shell integrity during intense driving sessions. Unlike metal washers that can leave marks, dings, or stress fractures in painted shells, these plastic washers are engineered to be gentle on your RC car's bodywork whilst remaining strong enough to prevent wobbling or movement. They're compatible with premium Traxxas brushless RC vehicles like the Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL 1/10 scale brushless short course truck and the Ford Fiesta ST Rally range, vehicles known for their high performance and reliability. The washers maintain their shape and integrity under the vibrations and stresses inherent in RC car operation, making them a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about protecting their RC car collection.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need body washers for my RC car? — Body washers protect your RC car's shell from damage caused by direct mounting pressure and metal-to-paint contact. They distribute pressure evenly across mounting points and prevent cosmetic damage such as cracks, stress marks, and paint chips that can occur when metal washers are used directly against painted or decal-covered shells. If you want your RC car to look fresh and maintain its value, body washers are essential.
- Are these washers compatible with my Traxxas RC vehicle? — The TRX1815 body washers are confirmed compatible with the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S Rally Car in Red (TRX74154-4-RED), Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL in Green (TRX74276-4-GRN), and Traxxas Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL 1/10 4WD Brushless Short Course Truck in Orange (TRX68277-4-ORNG). If you own one of these models, these washers are a perfect fit. For other Traxxas vehicles, we recommend checking compatibility before ordering.
- Can I use metal washers instead? — Whilst metal washers might seem like a cost-effective alternative, experienced RC enthusiasts report that they can damage your RC car's shell through direct metal-to-paint contact, vibration marks, and stress concentration. Plastic body washers are specifically designed to be gentle on shell finishes whilst providing the same structural protection, making them the smarter choice for serious RC car owners.
- How many washers do I need? — Most Traxxas body designs use multiple mounting points, so this pack of 8 provides sufficient washers for a complete installation with spares left over for future use, repairs, or multiple vehicles. Having extra washers on hand means you're always prepared for maintenance or rebuilds.
- Will these washers work with brushless RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. These body washers are fully compatible with brushless RC vehicles like the Traxxas Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL brushless short course truck. There is no difference in mounting requirements between brushed and brushless Traxxas vehicles when it comes to body installation.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX1815 body washers are official Traxxas OEM parts manufactured to exact specification. Buying genuine Traxxas components ensures perfect fitment and performance on your RC vehicle.
