Overview
The Traxxas Foam Inserts with universal adapter (large & small) and adhesive hook and loop fasteners are essential accessories designed to expand the versatility of your Traxxas RC car stand. If you own a 1/10 scale aluminium RC stand (model #8796) and want to display or work on smaller scale models, these foam inserts are the perfect solution for any RC enthusiast in the UK. Whether you're a serious collector with multiple scales or someone who enjoys both 1/18 scale LaTrax and 1/16 scale Traxxas models alongside your 1/10 scale vehicles, this adapter kit removes the limitations of your existing stand.
These foam inserts add remarkable flexibility to your RC car maintenance and display setup. Rather than purchasing multiple stands for different model sizes, you can now use a single aluminium stand for your entire collection. The universal adapter design means you're not locked into using just one scale—this is perfect for hobbyists who mix LaTrax beginners' models with more advanced 1/10 scale RC trucks and crawlers. The included adhesive hook and loop fasteners ensure secure attachment, so your smaller models stay firmly in place whilst you're working on them or displaying them in your collection.
Built by Traxxas, the world's leading manufacturer of ready-to-run RC vehicles and accessories, these foam inserts meet the same quality standards as all genuine Traxxas components. Whether you're based in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, this is a straightforward way to maximise the value of your existing RC car stand investment and enjoy better organisation of your RC hobby collection.
Key Features
- Universal Size Adapter — This kit includes both large and small foam inserts, allowing you to accommodate multiple scale vehicles on a single stand. You're not limited to one size, so as your collection grows across different scales, your stand grows with you.
- Foam Insert Material — The foam construction is gentle on your RC model's body and paint whilst providing excellent support. Foam won't scratch or damage even pristine paint finishes on expensive scale models.
- Adhesive Hook and Loop Fasteners Included — Four self-adhesive hook and loop fasteners are included in the package, making installation quick and secure. These fasteners keep your models firmly attached to the foam inserts without requiring tools or permanent modifications.
- Compatible with 1/10 Scale Stand #8796 — These inserts are specifically designed to work with the Traxxas RC car stand model #8796, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability.
- Extends Scale Compatibility — Originally designed for 1/10 scale models, your stand now works perfectly with 1/18 scale LaTrax vehicles and 1/16 scale Traxxas models, dramatically expanding its utility across your hobby collection.
- Easy Installation — No complex setup required—simply add the foam inserts to your existing stand using the adhesive fasteners and you're ready to display or service smaller scale models immediately.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Foam Inserts represent smart engineering in RC accessories. Rather than relying on complicated mechanical solutions or proprietary adapters, Traxxas chose quality foam material paired with proven adhesive hook and loop technology. This combination delivers reliable, repeatable results whilst maintaining the structural integrity of both your stand and your RC models. The foam material absorbs vibrations and impacts, protecting your model's chassis and body panels during transport or when adjusting the stand. The adhesive fasteners create a secure bond that's strong enough for daily use but won't permanently damage the foam or stand if you need to reposition components later. This dual-insert system (large and small) means you have genuine flexibility—users with extensive collections can manage 1/18 LaTrax vehicles (perfect for beginners and younger enthusiasts), standard 1/10 scale off-road buggies and trucks, and 1/16 scale crawlers all on the same stand, simply by switching between insert sizes. The engineering prioritises practicality: these aren't delicate accessories but genuine working tools for serious RC hobbyists who maintain and display multiple vehicles.
