Key Features
- Clipless Body Mounting System — This innovative mounting design eliminates the need for traditional body clips, providing a cleaner aesthetic and faster body removal and installation, which is particularly valuable when you need to access your chassis for maintenance or repairs on your brushless RC truck.
- Complete Front and Rear Package — The kit includes both front body mounts and rear body mounts, along with a front spacer and rear body mount bracket (2), ensuring you have everything needed for a complete body mounting solution without purchasing multiple individual parts.
- Rear Body Mount Bracket Set (2) — Two rear body mount brackets are included, providing redundancy and allowing you to maintain a backup set or replace worn components without ordering additional parts separately.
- Transmission Compatibility — Specifically designed to fit either the #3695 or #9495 transmission systems, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with your Rustler's drivetrain configuration, regardless of which generation or variant you own.
- Front Spacer Included — The dedicated front spacer ensures correct body height and alignment at the front of your RC car, which is critical for aerodynamic stability and preventing body contact with suspension components during aggressive driving.
- OEM Traxxas Engineering — Being official Traxxas parts, these body mounts are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured using quality materials that match the durability standards of the original vehicle components.
- Multiple Model Compatibility — These mounts work across the entire Rustler range including Rustler 4x4 BL-2S, Rustler HD XL-5, and Rustler HD BL-2S models in all colour variants, making them versatile spares for serious collectors with multiple Traxxas vehicles.
Technical Performance
The TRX3731 body mounting kit represents precision engineering at its finest. Manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards, these components are crafted from durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of aggressive RC driving, whether you're bashing around the garden, competing on the track, or pushing your brushless RC truck to its limits. The clipless mounting system is a significant advancement over traditional body clip designs, reducing installation time whilst actually improving the security and stability of the body-to-chassis connection. The front spacer component is precisely dimensioned to ensure correct clearance between the body and suspension travel, preventing interference that could compromise handling or cause component damage during sharp cornering or suspension compression. The rear body mount bracket components are robustly engineered to handle the dynamic forces generated by acceleration, deceleration, and lateral forces during high-speed cornering. Each component in this kit has been tested to ensure compatibility with either the #3695 or #9495 transmission systems, guaranteeing that fitment will be perfect regardless of your specific Traxxas Rustler configuration. The materials used are selected for their strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that the body mounting system adds minimal unnecessary mass whilst providing maximum structural support and durability for your RC vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas Rustler models are compatible with the TRX3731 body mounts? — The TRX3731 is compatible with Traxxas Rustler 4x4 BL-2S (both red and blue variants), Traxxas Rustler HD with XL-5 electronic speed controller (available in green, pink, orange and red), and Traxxas Rustler HD BL-2S models (available in blue, orange, green and red). These include both 2WD and 4WD variants of the Rustler family. Verify your specific model number matches one of the compatible models listed to ensure perfect fitment.
- What makes clipless body mounting better than traditional body clips? — Clipless body mounting systems eliminate the need for separate body clip components, reducing assembly complexity and the risk of losing small clips. The system provides a more secure connection between the body and chassis, reduces installation and removal time when you need to access the chassis, and creates a cleaner aesthetic appearance without visible clip protrusions. For UK RC enthusiasts who frequently maintain and upgrade their vehicles, this is a significant practical advantage.
- Do I need both the #3695 and #9495 transmission versions? — No, the TRX3731 is designed to work with either the #3695 or #9495 transmission. Check your Rustler's transmission version and order accordingly. If you own multiple Traxxas vehicles with different transmissions, you may need both versions, but a single TRX3731 kit will work with whichever transmission your specific model uses.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, the TRX3731 is an official Traxxas replacement and upgrade part, manufactured to the same specifications as the original equipment on new Traxxas Rustler models. By purchasing from an authorised Traxxas retailer like RC Model Shop, you can be confident you're receiving authentic components with proper warranty coverage.
- What if my body mounts are damaged or worn? — Body mounts can wear out from normal use, especially if you frequently crash or bash your RC truck. The TRX3731 kit provides complete replacement front and rear body mounting components, allowing you to refresh your truck's body attachment system and restore it to like-new condition. This is often one of the first maintenance items to address on an older Rustler.
- Can I upgrade from clip-style body mounts to this clipless system? — Yes, the TRX3731 clipless system is an upgrade over earlier Traxxas body mounting designs. If you have an older Rustler model, upgrading to this system can modernise your truck's body mounting and provide the practical benefits of the clipless design.
