Overview
The Traxxas Foam Body Washers TRX4915 are essential maintenance accessories for anyone serious about keeping their RC car in pristine condition. Whether you're running a Traxxas E-Revo VXL, Slash, TRX-4 crawler, or any compatible RC vehicle, these foam washers provide a practical solution to one of the most common issues faced by RC enthusiasts in the UK — unwanted body rattle and movement during high-speed runs. These specially designed foam adhesive washers sit between your RC car's body and chassis, absorbing vibrations and keeping your painted shell secure and protected throughout every drive session.
If you've ever noticed your RC body wobbling or rattling whilst driving your brushless monster truck, short course truck, or crawler around the track or trail, you'll understand how frustrating this can be. Not only does the noise detract from the driving experience, but constant movement can lead to paint damage, stress on mounting points, and premature wear on your expensive body shell. RC Model Shop customers consistently report that upgrading from stock plastic washers to these quality foam alternatives is one of the best value improvements they can make, delivering noticeable improvements in ride quality and shell protection at a fraction of the cost of replacement bodies.
This pack contains 10 individual foam washers with integrated adhesive backing, making installation straightforward and fuss-free. They're compatible with an extensive range of Traxxas models including the TRX-4 family of crawlers in various colour schemes, the E-Revo VXL monster truck range, and the Slash short course truck line. For UK RC enthusiasts seeking simple, effective upgrades that genuinely improve their driving experience, these Traxxas foam body washers represent outstanding value and peace of mind.
Key Features
- Foam Construction with Adhesive Backing — The washers are manufactured from quality foam material that naturally absorbs vibrations and dampens noise transmission between your RC body and chassis, whilst the integrated adhesive backing ensures they stay firmly in place during aggressive driving, eliminating the need for additional fasteners or complicated installation procedures.
- Pack of 10 Washers — Each pack contains 10 individual washers, providing sufficient quantity to properly equip your main RC vehicle and still have spares available for future maintenance or additional vehicles in your collection.
- Reduces Body Rattle and Wobble — These washers effectively cushion the gap between your painted body shell and the chassis, eliminating the annoying plastic-on-plastic noise that occurs during acceleration, braking and cornering, and preventing the unsightly movement that can damage paint and mounting points.
- Protects Your Body Investment — By keeping your body shell securely positioned and absorbing impact vibrations, these washers help protect your painted RC car body from the stress and wear that leads to premature damage, extending the lifespan of your expensive shells.
- Broad Model Compatibility — These washers are designed to fit numerous Traxxas models across different scales and categories, from the small but mighty 1/16 E-Revo VXL and Slash trucks to the sophisticated 1/10 scale TRX-4 crawler range including the Ford F-150, Chevrolet K5 Blazer, Nissan Pathfinder, and Defender variants.
- Easy Installation — The adhesive backing means there's no complex assembly required; simply clean the mounting points on your chassis, peel back the backing, and press the washers into place — a task that takes minutes rather than hours.
- Excellent Value Upgrade — At a fraction of the cost of replacement body shells, these washers deliver a noticeable improvement in driving quality and noise reduction, making them one of the most cost-effective upgrades available for Traxxas RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Foam Body Washers represent smart engineering focused on solving a real-world problem that affects RC drivers across the UK and beyond. The foam material selected for these washers has been engineered to provide optimal vibration dampening whilst remaining durable enough to withstand repeated use across numerous driving sessions. The adhesive backing is formulated to provide permanent bonding to both plastic chassis mounting points and painted body shells without degradation, even when exposed to the heat generated during high-speed running or extended driving sessions. Unlike traditional plastic washers that can slip, crack or degrade over time, these foam alternatives maintain their effectiveness across hundreds of miles of driving. The washers are designed to absorb the micro-vibrations that occur at the contact points between your RC body and chassis — vibrations that would otherwise transfer directly to the painted shell, causing stress and creating the annoying rattle that distracts from your driving experience. They work equally well on brushless electric RC vehicles and are suitable for various driving styles, from gentle trail-cruising with 1/10 scale crawlers to aggressive high-speed running with monster trucks. The foam composition is also resistant to the oils and cleaners commonly used in RC maintenance, ensuring the washers remain effective even after you've cleaned your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these foam washers fit my Traxxas RC car? — These washers are compatible with a comprehensive range of Traxxas models including the 1/16 scale E-Revo VXL and Slash trucks, and the entire 1/10 scale TRX-4 crawler range across all colour variants and special editions such as the Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT, Chevrolet K5 Blazer, Nissan Pathfinder, and Land Rover Defender models. Check the compatibility list provided to confirm your specific model is supported, though if you own any modern clipless-body Traxxas vehicle, these washers will almost certainly fit your needs.
- How do I install these body washers on my RC crawler or monster truck? — Installation is straightforward and requires no tools or special knowledge. Clean the mounting points on your chassis where the body shell contacts the chassis, then peel back the adhesive backing on each foam washer and press firmly into place. Most users report the entire installation taking just a few minutes, making this one of the quickest upgrades you can perform between drive sessions.
- Will the adhesive backing damage my painted RC body? — No, the adhesive is designed to bond securely without damaging painted finishes. The foam material itself provides a protective buffer between the adhesive and your painted shell, and countless UK RC enthusiasts have successfully used these washers without any paint damage whatsoever. If you're concerned, test installation on an inconspicuous area first.
- How much noise reduction can I expect from these washers? — Customer feedback consistently indicates a noticeable reduction in body rattle and vibration noise, particularly at higher speeds where the effect becomes most obvious. Whilst the improvement is more noticeable on some models than others depending on body fit and chassis tolerance, most users report being genuinely impressed by the difference these simple washers make to their driving experience.
- Are these washers durable enough for serious RC driving? — Yes, the foam material has been specifically engineered to withstand the demands of regular RC use, including exposure to heat generated during high-speed running, impact vibrations from off-road driving, and exposure to cleaning products used during vehicle maintenance. Many users report their washers remaining effective across multiple seasons of heavy use.
- Do I need any other products or tools to install these washers? — No additional products or tools are required beyond what you likely already have in your RC kit. A small cloth to clean the mounting points is helpful but not essential, and the washers themselves include everything needed for secure installation.
- What is the difference between these Traxxas foam washers and plastic alternatives? — Foam washers absorb vibrations and provide cushioning that plastic washers cannot match, resulting in less noise, reduced body movement, and better protection for your painted shell. The foam material naturally dampens vibrations rather than transmitting them directly to your body, whilst the integrated adhesive backing is more reliable than attempting to use separate fasteners with plastic washers.
