Technical Performance
The Traxxas Bulkhead, Rear (upper & lower) TRX10729 is engineered with the precision and durability that Traxxas is renowned for in the RC hobby world. As a chassis structural component, the rear bulkhead plays a critical role in maintaining the geometric accuracy of your vehicle's suspension geometry and drivetrain alignment.

The use of quality materials ensures rigidity and durability even under the aggressive driving conditions typical of mini RC vehicles like the Mini Maxx BL-2S, Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200, Mini Slash BL-2S and Mini XRT VXL-3S. The upper and lower bulkhead assembly works in concert to create a strong, stable rear chassis structure that can withstand the forces generated by high-speed cornering, acceleration and braking during both racing and recreational bashing.
