Overview
The Traxxas Body Reinforcement Set with Orange Skid Pads is an essential protective upgrade for your Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale brushless electric monster truck. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher or discovering the world of high-performance RC cars UK has to offer, this reinforcement set is designed to keep your truck looking great and performing reliably through the toughest landings and hardest hits. Built with high-strength composite materials, these colourful moulded body reinforcements transfer impact forces directly to the Sledge's full-body frame, ensuring your investment stays protected during extreme driving sessions.
If you own a Traxxas Sledge or are looking to upgrade your ready to run RC monster truck, the TRX9510T body reinforcement set offers both functional protection and aesthetic appeal. The vibrant orange colour gives your truck a bold new look while the roof-mounted skid pads provide crucial impact absorption where your truck needs it most. This is the perfect replacement if your current reinforcements have become worn, damaged, or if you simply want to customise the appearance of your RC vehicle with a striking new colour option.
Compatible exclusively with the #9511 Sledge body, this reinforcement set is engineered to work seamlessly with Traxxas's legendary build quality standards. RC enthusiasts across the UK trust Traxxas products for their durability, performance, and reliability, and this body reinforcement set continues that tradition by helping your truck withstand the punishment of aggressive off-road RC driving.
Key Features
- High-Strength Composite Construction — The reinforcements are manufactured from high-strength composite materials that are specifically engineered to spread impact forces through the body rather than concentrating them in one area, which significantly extends the lifespan of your truck's body and frame during aggressive driving and extreme stunts.
- Roof-Mounted Skid Pads — The skid pads are positioned on the roof of your Sledge body to protect against impacts from rollovers, flips, and roof strikes that commonly occur during high-performance off-road RC driving, ensuring your bodywork stays protected during the toughest landings.
- Vibrant Orange Colour — Beyond protection, these reinforcements give your truck a bold and distinctive aesthetic, allowing you to customise the appearance of your Sledge with a striking orange finish that stands out on any track or bash course.
- Sledge Body Compatibility — Designed specifically to fit the #9511 Sledge body only, these reinforcements are engineered with precise tolerances to ensure perfect fitment without modification or adjustment required.
- Long-Lasting Durability — By efficiently transferring and dispersing impact forces across the body's full-body frame design, these reinforcements help ensure long-lasting fun and reliability, allowing you to push your brushless RC monster truck to its limits with confidence.
- Easy Replacement — If your existing Sledge body reinforcements have become worn or damaged from extensive use, these replacements are straightforward to install and maintain, keeping your truck in peak condition.
- Authentic Traxxas Engineering — Manufactured by Traxxas, the global leader in RC vehicle innovation, these reinforcements meet the same exacting standards as the rest of your Sledge components, ensuring compatibility and quality you can trust.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body Reinforcement Set represents years of engineering excellence in protective RC components. The high-strength composite material used throughout these reinforcements has been specifically formulated to handle the extreme forces generated by an 8S LiPo-powered 1/8 scale brushless electric monster truck. The full-body frame design of the Sledge works in conjunction with these reinforcements to create a comprehensive protection system that distributes impact energy across a wider area rather than creating stress concentrations at individual points. This engineering approach significantly extends the life of your body panels and structural components, particularly important when driving at the high speeds and with the aggressive landing impacts that a brushless Sledge is capable of delivering. The roof-mounted skid pads are positioned to intercept the impacts most likely to occur during extreme driving conditions, such as hard rollovers, high-velocity flips, and direct roof-to-ground contact during jumps. Traxxas's commitment to build quality means these reinforcements maintain precise dimensional tolerance with your existing #9511 body, ensuring perfect fitment without gaps, misalignment, or interference with suspension components or other mechanical systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas Sledge models is this body reinforcement set compatible with? — This reinforcement set is designed exclusively for the #9511 Sledge body. It is compatible with the following Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck variants: TRX95096-4-GRN (Green), TRX95096-4-RED (Red), TRX95096-4-BLUE (Blue), and TRX95096-4-ORNG (Orange). If you own a different Sledge variant or model year, please verify the body number before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.
- Do I need to remove my existing body to install these reinforcements? — The reinforcements are designed to work with your Sledge body, and installation will require your body to be mounted on the truck. Specific installation instructions come with the Traxxas product. If you need detailed guidance, contacting Traxxas directly or consulting the product manual is recommended.
- What is the difference between these orange reinforcements and other colour options? — The reinforcements are functionally identical regardless of colour, providing the same high-strength composite protection and impact-dispersal benefits. The colour difference is purely aesthetic, allowing you to customise the visual appearance of your RC monster truck while maintaining identical protective performance. Traxxas offers these reinforcements in multiple colours including green and other options.
- Are these reinforcements suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These reinforcements are a straightforward protective upgrade suitable for any Sledge owner, whether you're just starting out with ready to run RC monster trucks or you're an experienced basher. Installing these reinforcements is a standard maintenance task that helps extend the life of your truck's body, making it a wise investment for any skill level.
- How do these reinforcements help protect my truck? — The high-strength composite reinforcements spread impact forces through the body's full-body frame rather than allowing all the force to concentrate on one area. When your truck lands hard, rolls over, or impacts obstacles, these reinforcements absorb and distribute that energy, preventing damage that would otherwise crack or break body panels and potentially damage the underlying chassis.
- What should I do if my reinforcements become damaged? — Simply order a replacement set, just as you would with any other worn Sledge component. Traxxas reinforcements are designed as replaceable parts, making maintenance and customisation straightforward for any Sledge owner.
