Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these tail lights and side markers fit my TRX-4 1979 Chevrolet Blazer? — Yes, the TRX8135 is specifically designed for the #8130 TRX-4 Blazer body and is confirmed compatible with the TRX82276-4 series 1979 Chevy Blazer models in both red and black, as well as multiple other TRX-4 platforms including K10 Cheyenne, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT, 1972 K5 Blazer, and Nissan Pathfinder variants. Check your specific model number against the comprehensive compatibility list to confirm fit.
• Are these lights functional or purely decorative? — The TRX8135 provides both functional lighting and authentic scale detailing. The pre-assembled tail lights and side markers illuminate to improve visibility during low-light trail running or evening basement sessions, whilst simultaneously delivering the factory-correct appearance expected on a detailed 1979 Chevrolet Blazer scale model.
• How difficult is the installation process? — Installation is straightforward and accessible to both experienced RC builders and newcomers to the hobby. The kit includes mounting tape for adhesive attachment or self-tapping and standard screws for mechanical fastening, allowing you to choose your preferred method. With basic tools like a small Phillips head screwdriver and approximately 15-30 minutes, most RC enthusiasts can complete a full lighting installation without complications.
• Can I use both mounting tape and screws, or must I choose one method? — You have complete flexibility in your installation approach. The mounting tape offers a non-permanent solution perfect for those who wish to maintain reversibility, whilst the self-tapping 1.6x5mm screws and larger 2.6x8mm fasteners provide permanent mechanical security. Many builders use mounting tape for initial positioning and testing, then add screws for long-term durability during regular trail running or competitive use.
• What is the difference between the 1.6x5mm self-tapping screws and the 2.6x8mm fasteners included? — The 1.6x5mm self-tapping BCS screws are the primary fasteners designed for securing tail light and side marker retainers to your plastic TRX-4 body panels, where their fine pitch and self-tapping design create secure threads in plastic without pre-drilling. The larger 2.6x8mm screws offer additional versatility for alternative mounting locations or components requiring more robust fastening and greater load-bearing capacity.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts with a warranty? — Yes, the TRX8135 is an official Traxxas part supplied through authorised retailers. When purchased from RC Model Shop, you receive genuine Traxxas components backed by the manufacturer's quality assurance and supported by our expert team.
• Will the lighting kit work with aftermarket TRX-4 bodies or only Traxxas shells? — The TRX8135 is engineered for Traxxas #8130 TRX-4 bodies and official variants. Compatibility with non-Traxxas aftermarket bodies cannot be guaranteed without confirmation of dimensional alignment and mounting points. We recommend verifying your specific body type against the official compatibility list before purchase.
• What colours are available for the tail lights and side markers? — The TRX8135 is supplied with standard red tail lights and amber/orange side marker lights to replicate authentic 1979 Chevrolet Blazer lighting specification. Alternative colour options are not available in this particular kit.
