Overview

The Traxxas Body mounts, Front & Rear with body mount posts and sliders (TRX10518) is an essential adjustment component for RC drift enthusiasts and 4-Tec owners looking to perfect their vehicle's setup. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend drift basher, this adjustable body mount system allows you to fine-tune your RC drift car to match your exact driving style and vehicle configuration. Designed specifically for the Traxxas 4-Tec Drift range, these front and rear body mounts give you the flexibility to accommodate different body styles whilst maintaining optimal aerodynamics and handling characteristics on the track or at your local RC racing venue.

This is not a complete vehicle – it's a precision tuning component that transforms how your 4-Tec Drift performs. The adjustable nature of these body mounts means you can shift the mounting position forwards, backwards, and side to side, giving you control over body placement that directly impacts your car's performance. For RC hobbyists in the UK seeking to upgrade or repair their Traxxas drift platform, the TRX10518 represents genuine Traxxas engineering at an accessible price point. RC Model Shop stocks this part to ensure your drift car stays competitive and looking sharp.

Key Features

• Front and Rear Adjustable Body Mounts — This complete set includes both front and rear mounting points, allowing you to position your 200 mm body shell precisely where it needs to be for optimal weight distribution and aerodynamic performance on your 4-Tec Drift car.
• Adjustable Body Posts — The included body posts are fully adjustable, allowing you to shift them forwards and backwards as well as side to side, which means you can accommodate virtually any pre-drilled mounting hole configuration without needing to modify your body shell.
• Body Mount Sliders — These specialized sliders protect your body from damage during impacts and crashes, whilst also allowing smooth lateral movement during adjustment, ensuring your body stays properly aligned and protected during your RC drift sessions.
• Standard Non-Clipless Body Compatibility — Designed to work with standard 200 mm body shells (non-clipless design), meaning you have maximum flexibility in body choice and can use many aftermarket Traxxas and compatible drift bodies with your 4-Tec.
• Includes Foam Bumper — The integrated foam bumper provides additional impact protection for your body shell, reducing damage during aggressive drifting manoeuvres and helping your car maintain its appearance through countless track sessions.
• Complete Hardware Package — All necessary fasteners and components are included in the box, so you can install these mounts immediately without hunting for additional hardware from other RC parts suppliers.
• Precision Engineering for Drift Performance — Traxxas designed these mounts specifically for drift cars where precise body placement directly affects handling, weight transfer, and overall drift characteristics, making this a performance-critical component rather than merely cosmetic.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX10518 body mount system represents decades of Traxxas engineering expertise applied to the specific demands of 1/10 scale RC drift racing. These mounts are engineered to work seamlessly with the 4-Tec Drift platform, one of the most popular and respected RC drift platforms available in the UK. The adjustable mounting posts utilise a clever design that allows movement in multiple planes without compromising structural rigidity – a critical balance in RC performance components. The front and rear mounts are precision-manufactured to tolerances that ensure your 200 mm body shell sits perfectly aligned with your chassis, which directly impacts aerodynamic performance, weight distribution, and how your car responds to steering inputs during high-speed drift manoeuvres. The foam bumper included in this set is engineered from the same high-quality materials Traxxas uses in their complete vehicles, providing genuine impact protection without adding unnecessary weight. Whether you're replacing worn mounts, upgrading from damaged stock components, or setting up a new body shell on your existing 4-Tec Drift frame, these mounts deliver the precision and durability that competitive RC drifters demand. The sliding mechanism allows adjustment without modifying your body, making this an essential part of any serious 4-Tec Drift owner's spare parts collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these body mounts fit my 4-Tec Drift? — Yes, the TRX10518 is designed specifically for Traxxas 4-Tec Drift models and is compatible with both the 2024 Ford Mustang variants and the Nissan 240SX drift cars. If you own a 4-Tec Drift, these mounts will fit your chassis.
• What body sizes do these mounts support? — These body mounts are designed for standard (non-clipless) 200 mm bodies, which is the most common body size for 1/10 scale RC drift cars and covers a wide range of aftermarket body shells available in the UK RC hobby market.
• Can I adjust the body position without removing my body? — The adjustable posts allow you to shift the mounting position forwards, backwards, and side to side to accommodate different pre-drilled mounting holes, giving you significant flexibility in body positioning. However, you will need to remove your body to make adjustments to the mount positions.
• Are these mounts easy to install? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. The complete hardware package is included, and the mounting system is designed for easy adjustment without requiring special tools. If you're unfamiliar with RC maintenance, we recommend consulting your 4-Tec manual or watching an installation video to ensure proper setup.
• Why would I need replacement body mounts? — Body mounts can wear out, crack, or become damaged from heavy use or crashes. If your body is sitting unevenly on your chassis, moving side to side, or if you want to change body position for better drift performance, new mounts provide the perfect solution.
• What is the foam bumper for? — The foam bumper protects your body shell from impact damage during crashes and aggressive manoeuvres, whilst the sliders allow the body to move slightly during impact, reducing strain on mounting points and damage to your expensive body shell.
• Do I need these if I'm buying my first 4-Tec Drift? — No, the 4-Tec Drift comes with body mounts as standard. These are replacement or upgrade parts for when your original mounts wear out, break, or when you want to change your body position for performance reasons.
