Key Features
- Authentic Chrome Finish — The mirrors feature a genuine chrome plating that delivers a realistic, polished appearance matching the scale detail of high-end Traxxas TRX-4 bodies. This authentic finish catches light beautifully and significantly enhances the overall visual appeal of your RC crawler, making it look far more detailed and professional than vehicles without scale accessories.
- Left and Right Pair Included — You receive both a left-side and right-side mirror in this package, providing complete symmetrical styling to your RC vehicle. This paired approach ensures balanced aesthetics from every angle, which is crucial for scale realism and display-quality vehicles.
- Compatible with Multiple TRX-4 Models — These mirrors fit the #8130 body platform, which is used across numerous Traxxas TRX-4 variants including the 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer (available in blue and red), the Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition (available in red, blue, black and metallic copper), the Ford F-150 Ranger XLT High Trail Edition (available in brown, blue and black), and the Nissan Pathfinder SE-V6 (available in red and silver). This broad compatibility makes these mirrors a sensible upgrade for multiple vehicles in your collection.
- Includes Installation Hardware — The package contains four o-rings and four body clips, providing complete mounting hardware for secure installation. The o-rings help seal the mirror mounting points whilst the body clips hold everything firmly in place, ensuring your mirrors won't rattle or come loose during high-speed running or challenging terrain.
- Retainers Included — Two retainers are provided to securely hold the mirrors to the body, protecting your investment and ensuring the mirrors remain perfectly positioned even when running at speed or over rocky, challenging trails.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality — As an official Traxxas accessory, these mirrors meet the exacting standards of the world's leading RC vehicle manufacturer, ensuring durability and perfect fitment with your TRX-4 platform.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX8133 Chrome Side Mirrors represent the pinnacle of scale detailing for RC crawlers and trail trucks. Constructed from high-quality chrome-plated materials, these mirrors deliver an authentic appearance that elevates any TRX-4 body platform. The engineering focuses on durability and security – the chrome finish resists corrosion and maintains its shine even when exposed to the elements during outdoor RC bashing sessions. The inclusion of four o-rings ensures proper sealing at mounting points, preventing dust and dirt ingress whilst maintaining a tight, rattle-free installation. The four body clips provide redundant mounting security, meaning your mirrors stay locked in place whether you're crawling over rocks, powering through sand, or navigating technical terrain at speed. The retainer system is engineered to distribute stress evenly across the mounting interface, protecting both the mirrors and the body from damage. This attention to engineering detail is what separates Traxxas accessories from aftermarket alternatives – they're designed by the same engineers who built your vehicle to work in perfect harmony with the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which TRX-4 models are these chrome mirrors compatible with? — These mirrors are designed to fit the #8130 body platform, which is used on numerous Traxxas TRX-4 variants. Compatible models include the 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer High Trail Edition, Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT High Trail Edition, and the Nissan Pathfinder SE-V6 3S. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle uses the #8130 body platform – this information is listed in your vehicle's manual or on the Traxxas website.
- Are these mirrors difficult to install? — No, these mirrors are designed for straightforward bolt-on installation. The package includes all necessary hardware – retainers, o-rings, and body clips – so you simply need to align the mirrors with the body mounting points and secure them using the provided clips. Most users can complete installation in 10-15 minutes with basic tools. Refer to your vehicle manual for specific mounting point locations on your #8130 body.
- Will the chrome finish last through outdoor RC driving? — Yes, the chrome plating is specifically engineered to withstand the demands of RC use. Chrome naturally resists corrosion, meaning it maintains its shine even during outdoor bashing sessions in wet conditions. However, occasional cleaning with a soft cloth will keep your mirrors looking showroom-fresh. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials which could scratch the plating.
- What is included in this package besides the mirrors? — This TRX8133 package includes the left and right chrome mirrors, two retainers for secure mounting, four o-rings for sealing the mounting points, and four body clips for holding everything in place. These components provide everything needed for complete installation on compatible #8130 bodies.
- Can I use these mirrors on other RC vehicle brands? — These mirrors are specifically designed for Traxxas TRX-4 models using the #8130 body platform. They will not fit bodies from other manufacturers. If you have a different brand of RC vehicle, you would need mirrors designed for that specific platform.
- Will adding mirrors affect the performance of my RC crawler? — No, the mirrors are lightweight scale accessories that have negligible impact on vehicle performance. They add minimal weight and are mounted to the body rather than the chassis, so they won't affect handling, battery runtime, or driving characteristics. The primary benefit is visual enhancement for scale realism.
