Key Features

• Stainless Steel Construction — Built from high-grade stainless steel, these window guards resist corrosion, rust and weathering far better than plastic or painted alternatives, ensuring they maintain their appearance season after season regardless of whether you're driving in wet British weather or storing your RC car outdoors.
• Authentic Matt Black Finish — The distinctive matt black coating provides genuine scale realism and a protective weather-resistant layer, giving your TRX-4M Defender that serious, hardened appearance that catches the eye at any RC meetup or display.
• Complete 5-Piece Coverage — This comprehensive set includes one large rear window guard, two smaller rear window guards, and two rear side window guards, covering all the critical window areas on your TRX-4M Defender body shell for a fully integrated, professional look.
• Supplied Mounting Hardware — All necessary stainless steel screws are included in the box, eliminating the need to source matching fasteners and ensuring your guards are secured with hardware that matches the overall aesthetic and durability of the set.
• Simple Installation Process — Requiring only pilot hole drilling and basic tools, installation is accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels, from first-time customisers to experienced modellers, with no special knowledge or expensive equipment needed.
• Scale-Authentic Design — Each guard is proportioned to match the windows and dimensions of the TRX-4M Defender, maintaining proper scale accuracy and visual harmony with the rest of your RC vehicle rather than looking oversized or generic.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul Window Guard Set SS represents a significant step up in quality compared to standard plastic or painted alternatives. Manufactured from premium stainless steel rather than mild steel or aluminium, these guards deliver superior corrosion resistance and longevity, making them ideal for the wet, variable climate conditions typical across the UK. The matt black finish is applied with a weather-resistant coating that protects the underlying stainless steel from the elements whilst maintaining a professional appearance that won't fade, peel or discolour over time. The engineering is straightforward but effective: the guards are precision-formed to fit the TRX-4M Defender body contours accurately, and the mounting point designs ensure the supplied screws hold securely without requiring adhesives or complex modifications to your body shell. Each guard is lightweight despite its robust construction, so there is negligible impact on your RC car's weight distribution or handling characteristics. The stainless steel specification ensures compatibility with the existing hardware and body of your TRX-4M Defender whilst the matt black finish complements rather than detracts from the authentic Defender appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these window guards fit my Traxxas TRX-4M Defender? — Yes, these guards are specifically designed and engineered to fit the Traxxas TRX-4M Defender body shell. They cover the three rear windows and both rear side windows, providing comprehensive coverage of the key window areas on this scale RC vehicle.
• Do I need to drill holes in my body shell to install these guards? — Yes, installation requires you to mark and drill pilot holes in your TRX-4M Defender body shell before securing the guards with the supplied screws. This is a straightforward process that takes approximately 20-30 minutes and requires only basic hand tools such as a drill and drill bits.
• Why are stainless steel window guards better than plastic alternatives? — Stainless steel offers superior durability, corrosion resistance and weather protection compared to plastic guards. In the UK's wet climate, plastic guards can degrade, discolour and become brittle over time, whilst stainless steel maintains its appearance and strength season after season. The matt black finish also provides additional weather resistance and a more authentic, professional appearance that plastic simply cannot match.
• Are the mounting screws included? — Yes, all necessary stainless steel mounting screws are included in the box, so you have everything needed to complete installation without sourcing additional fasteners.
• Will these guards affect the weight distribution of my TRX-4M? — No, the guards are lightweight and contribute minimal overall weight to your RC car. Installation will have no noticeable impact on handling, suspension performance or scale accuracy, making them a pure aesthetic upgrade with no performance trade-offs.
• Can I remove the guards later if I want to? — Yes, the guards are secured with screws and can be removed at any time. If you remove them, you will have small screw holes in your body shell that may require touch-up paint or patching, depending on your preferences.
• Are these guards waterproof? — The guards themselves are made from stainless steel with a weather-resistant matt black finish, making them extremely resistant to water, mud and the elements. However, they are not sealed guards that prevent water ingress into the vehicle interior, they are decorative protective guards that enhance the appearance and provide some physical protection to the windows.
