Overview
The Traxxas Body reinforcement set in red with skid pads is an essential upgrade for RC enthusiasts who demand maximum durability and protection for their E-Revo model. Whether you're a seasoned basher pushing your RC monster truck to the limit or a dedicated hobbyist who wants to protect their investment from the inevitable impacts of aggressive driving, this body reinforcement kit offers affordable insurance against wear and tear. Designed specifically to fit the #9511 Sledge body, this accessory transforms how your truck handles punishment, making it an ideal addition to any serious RC car UK collection.
If you've ever experienced the frustration of body-mounted hardware loosening or failing after a hard landing or rollover, you'll appreciate what this reinforcement set brings to the table. The colourful moulded body reinforcements are engineered to transfer impact forces directly to the Sledge's full-body frame, ensuring long-lasting fun through the toughest landings and hardest hits. This innovative design means that the stresses from crashes and collisions are distributed more effectively across the chassis rather than concentrated on vulnerable body-mounting points. Installation requires no tools and takes just minutes, making this one of the easiest upgrades you can perform on your brushless RC vehicle.
RC Model Shop stocks this part because we understand that serious RC enthusiasts need reliable, cost-effective solutions that extend the life of their machines. At just £8, this body reinforcement set represents excellent value for money and is highly recommended by the Traxxas factory itself as a must-have upgrade for hard-hitters and competition drivers alike. The red finish complements many colour schemes and allows you to give your truck a bold new look whilst simultaneously improving durability.
Key Features
- Moulded Impact Protection — The colourful moulded construction is specifically designed to absorb and transfer impact forces away from critical body-mounting hardware, preventing loosening and failure during aggressive driving or crashes.
- Full-Body Frame Integration — These reinforcements work in harmony with the Sledge's full-body frame design, ensuring that impact energy is distributed evenly across the entire chassis structure rather than concentrated at single mounting points.
- Red Finish — The vibrant red colour adds visual appeal to your truck whilst providing the protective functionality you need, allowing you to customise your RC monster truck's appearance without sacrificing durability.
- Tool-Free Installation — No tools whatsoever are required to install this body reinforcement set, making it one of the easiest upgrades you can perform even without removing the body from your truck.
- Replacement Option — If you've worn out your original Sledge body reinforcements through years of hard use, this set allows you to replace them and restore your truck to like-new protection levels.
- Factory-Recommended Upgrade — Traxxas recommends this upgrade for drivers who consistently push their E-Revo to the limit, indicating its importance in a comprehensive durability strategy.
- Sledge Body Compatibility — Engineered specifically to fit the #9511 Sledge body, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal protection without modifications or adaptations needed.
Technical Performance
This body reinforcement set is part of Traxxas's commitment to engineering durable RC vehicles that can withstand the punishment of serious off-road driving and competition use. The moulded construction utilises advanced materials that resist impact whilst remaining lightweight enough not to affect performance. The design philosophy focuses on distributing crash forces across the widest possible area of the chassis frame, converting a potentially catastrophic single-point failure into manageable stress that the frame is designed to handle. When installed on your brushless RC truck, these reinforcements work silently in the background, protecting your investment during triple-backflips that don't quite land as planned, hard landings from big jumps, and the inevitable rollovers that come with aggressive driving. The engineering is elegant in its simplicity—these reinforcements don't add weight, don't require tools, and don't get in the way of maintenance, yet they provide measurable protection that extends the service life of your truck's body mounting hardware significantly. For drivers running 6-cell LiPo batteries for maximum power and acceleration, this protection becomes even more valuable since higher power levels typically translate to harder impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly do body reinforcements protect? — Body reinforcements protect the areas where the body clips and hardware mount to the chassis frame. During hard crashes or rollovers, the forces can cause these mounting points to crack, stretch, or fail entirely. By distributing impact forces across a wider area of the frame, the reinforcements prevent concentrated stress at these vulnerable points, significantly extending the life of both your body and your chassis frame.
- Do I need to remove the body to install this reinforcement set? — No, one of the key advantages of this product is that you don't need to remove the body at all to install the reinforcements. The tool-free design means you can simply pop them into place without any disassembly whatsoever, making this an ideal upgrade for quick installation.
- Will this reinforcement set fit my E-Revo? — This body reinforcement set is specifically designed to fit the #9511 Sledge body. Make certain you have the correct body before purchasing, as it will not fit other E-Revo body options. Always verify your body model number before ordering.
- How much will this affect the weight of my truck? — The moulded reinforcements are engineered to be lightweight, so they will have minimal impact on your truck's overall weight and performance characteristics. The protection benefits far outweigh any negligible weight addition.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. This is an ideal upgrade for any RC enthusiast, whether you're a beginner discovering the world of RC for the first time or a seasoned competitor. Since no tools are required and installation takes just minutes, beginners can install this upgrade themselves with complete confidence. More importantly, it protects your truck from damage caused by learning curves and mistakes that are inevitable when you're new to the hobby.
- How much does this cost to install professionally? — There is no installation cost required because you can install this yourself without any tools whatsoever. Simply follow the included instructions and you'll have maximum protection in just a few minutes.
- What is the difference between this red set and other colour options? — The difference is purely visual—the red finish allows you to customise your truck's appearance whilst providing identical protection to other colour variants. Choose the colour that best matches your truck's scheme or personalises your RC machine the way you prefer.
- Can I use this with other body styles? — This reinforcement set is specifically engineered for the #9511 Sledge body and will not fit other body designs. Always check compatibility before purchasing to ensure proper fitment and protection.
