Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body mounts compatible with my Traxxas Slash model? — Yes, the TRX6940 is compatible with a wide range of Traxxas Slash variants. Confirmed compatible models include the Slash HD XL-5 in blue, orange, green, and red; the Slash VXL-3S Brushless in green, red, and FOX editions; and the Slash Extreme HD VXL in red, FOX, and green. If you own any of these Slash models, the TRX6940 will fit perfectly. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific Slash variant, we recommend checking with our team at RC Model Shop or consulting the Traxxas parts compatibility chart.
- What is a clipless body mount and why does it matter? — A clipless body mount is a mounting system that secures your RC car's body shell to the chassis without requiring separate clips or fasteners. The clipless design on the TRX6940 makes it faster and easier to mount and remove your body, which is especially useful if you frequently change body styles, colours, or if you need regular access to your chassis for maintenance and upgrades. This design reduces the risk of losing small clip components and streamlines the whole process.
- When should I replace my body mounts? — Body mounts should be replaced if they become cracked, split, warped, or show signs of damage from impacts. Regular use and aggressive driving can cause wear over time, and if you've had significant crashes or jumps, your mounts may sustain damage. Signs of a failing body mount include a loose or rattling body panel during driving, misalignment of the body shell, or visible cracks in the mount itself. Keeping spare body mounts in your RC toolkit ensures you can quickly return to the track or bashing field without extended downtime.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — The TRX6940 are genuine, official Traxxas replacement parts manufactured to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. This means they're designed and built to the same exacting standards as the mounts that come with a new Slash. Choosing genuine Traxxas parts ensures perfect fitment, consistent quality, and reliable performance. Aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper but often don't offer the same level of precision engineering or durability that comes with authentic Traxxas components.
- What is the part number for these body mounts? — The part number is TRX6940, which is the official Traxxas designation. Using the correct part number when ordering ensures you receive the exact replacement mounts compatible with your Slash model and helps you find other compatible Traxxas parts with ease.
