Traxxas Body Mounts Front and Rear with Posts and Fasteners TRX5314

Overview

The Traxxas Body mounts, Front & Rear (TRX5314) are essential chassis spares designed for Traxxas RC vehicles, particularly the Stampede 4X4 and compatible models. These genuine Traxxas parts provide the critical connection between your RC car's body shell and the chassis frame, ensuring proper fitment and alignment. Whether you're upgrading to heavy-duty components, maintaining your existing setup, or building a custom RC car UK configuration, these body mounts are precision-engineered to deliver the quality and durability you expect from Traxxas.

As a leading RC car parts supplier in the UK, we understand that proper body mounting is fundamental to your RC vehicle's performance and appearance. Loose or misaligned body mounts can lead to rattling, poor handling characteristics, and potential damage to your body shell during aggressive driving or racing. The TRX5314 body mount kit addresses this critical need with front and rear mounting solutions that integrate seamlessly with Traxxas chassis designs. These mounts are particularly valuable if you're exploring upgrade paths such as fitting the Extreme Heavy-Duty upgrade kit to your Stampede 4X4, where body mount compatibility becomes a key consideration.

This is an authentic Traxxas genuine part, not an aftermarket alternative. RC enthusiasts across the UK trust Traxxas components for their engineering precision, reliability and fit—when Traxxas says something fits, it really fits. The TRX5314 represents the kind of foundational quality that separates properly maintained RC vehicles from those that suffer from compatibility issues and premature wear.

Key Features

• Front and Rear Body Mount Solutions — This kit includes both front and rear body mounts, giving you a complete body mounting system for your Traxxas chassis rather than requiring multiple separate purchases for different areas of your vehicle.
• Body Mount Posts — The kit includes properly dimensioned body mount posts for both front and rear positions, ensuring your RC car body shell sits at the correct height and angle relative to the chassis.
• 2.5x18mm Screw Pins (4 pieces) — Four precision-engineered screw pins are included to securely fasten your body to the mounting posts, providing reliable retention under the stresses of RC racing and bashing.
• 4x10mm Button Cap Screws (1 piece) — These button cap screws (BCS) are supplied for mounting the body support assembly to the shock tower or chassis frame, ensuring secure and stable attachment of the entire body mounting assembly.
• Genuine Traxxas Engineering — As an authentic Traxxas part, these mounts are designed and manufactured to the same exacting standards as your RC vehicle's original components, guaranteeing compatibility and performance.
• Upgrade Path Compatibility — These mounts are specifically relevant when upgrading Traxxas vehicles with heavy-duty kits, allowing you to adapt your existing body and chassis configuration to accommodate enhanced suspension components.
• Simple Installation — Designed for straightforward installation using basic tools and clear methodology, these mounts can be fitted by RC enthusiasts of varying experience levels following Traxxas installation guidance.

Technical Performance

The TRX5314 body mount assembly represents Traxxas's commitment to precision engineering in chassis accessories. These mounts provide the structural interface between your RC car's decorative and protective body shell and the underlying chassis, a role that is deceptively critical to overall vehicle performance and longevity. The front and rear body support structures are engineered to position your body shell at the optimal distance from the chassis, maintaining proper clearance for suspension travel, shock absorber articulation, and suspension component movement without interference. The 2.5x18mm screw pins are sized and manufactured to provide secure fastening between the body posts and the body shell mounting holes without over-stressing the plastic shell material or creating stress concentrations that could lead to cracking. The inclusion of 4x10mm button cap screws (BCS) means you have the fastening solutions needed to mount the body support assembly itself to your shock tower or chassis frame. The engineering of body mounts becomes particularly important when you're considering upgrades like the Extreme Heavy-Duty kit, where modifications to body mount height and alignment may be necessary to accommodate upgraded shock towers and suspension geometry. Traxxas mounts are manufactured from materials engineered to withstand the vibration, impacts, and repeated stresses of RC driving whilst maintaining dimensional stability and reliable fastening over extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the TRX5314 body mounts fit my Traxxas Stampede 4X4? — The TRX5314 is compatible with the Stampede 4X4, though proper installation may require some configuration depending on your specific chassis setup. If you're fitting the Extreme Heavy-Duty upgrade kit, Traxxas provides detailed installation methods that may involve drilling mounting holes in the shock tower or using alternative body post heights from accessory kits. Traxxas documentation shows that fitting the HD kit to a Stampede 4X4 requires attention to body mount compatibility, with options to either modify the stock Stampede 4X4 front body mount or to use HD kit-supplied mounts with taller body posts from separate accessory sets.
• What tools will I need to install these body mounts? — Basic installation requires a power drill or driver, drill bits in various sizes (typically 1/8 inch and 3/32 inch depending on your specific installation method), and a suitable screwdriver for the 2.5x18mm and 4x10mm fasteners. If you're adapting these mounts to work with upgrade kits, you may also need a file, sanding block, or rotary tool to shave mounting bosses, along with appropriate eye protection.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — The TRX5314 is an authentic Traxxas genuine part, manufactured to Traxxas specifications and engineering standards. Traxxas components offer guaranteed compatibility and performance characteristics that may not be available from aftermarket manufacturers.
• Can I use these body mounts when upgrading to the Extreme Heavy-Duty kit? — Yes, the TRX5314 mounts are specifically designed to work with Traxxas chassis that may receive heavy-duty upgrades. Traxxas provides installation methodologies showing how to adapt the stock Stampede 4X4 front body mount to work with the HD shock tower by drilling new mounting holes and shaving mounting bosses, or alternatively using HD kit-supplied mounts with taller body posts from the 1914R body mount set accessory package.
• What is the difference between front and rear body mounts? — The front and rear body mounts are designed for their specific positions on the chassis, with potentially different mounting hole spacing, post heights, and support geometry to match the chassis layout at each end of the vehicle. Rear body mounts typically require no modification when upgrading, whilst front mounts may need configuration to accommodate suspension upgrades.
• Do I need any additional parts to complete installation? — The kit includes the core body mounting hardware, but depending on your application, you may need additional fasteners or accessory body posts if you're adapting to upgrade kits. Traxxas provides guidance on sourcing any supplementary components, such as the 1914R body mount set if you require taller body posts.
