Overview
The Traxxas Latch, body mounts (front and rear) TRX6967 are essential replacement chassis spares designed specifically for Traxxas Slash RC trucks across multiple generations and variants. These clipless body mounts represent a modern engineering solution for securing your vehicle's body shell with maximum ease and reliability. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK enthusiast, a weekend basher, or someone upgrading their Traxxas Slash for the first time, these body mounts deliver the firm, secure hold your RC short course truck demands during high-speed runs and challenging terrain.
Built by Traxxas, a manufacturer recognised globally for innovation and quality in the RC hobby, the TRX6967 body mounts feature a clipless design that eliminates traditional body clips while maintaining exceptional security. This means you can remove and reattach your body shell quickly and easily without fumbling with clips that can break or get lost. The clipless system integrates seamlessly with Traxxas's 6966 clipless latch mounts and retainers, creating a modern body retention solution that's both practical and durable. These mounts are ideal for anyone who regularly swaps bodies, maintains their RC truck, or simply wants a more convenient body-mounting system than traditional methods.
Compatible with a wide range of Traxxas Slash models including the Slash 4X4, Slash 4X4 BL-2S brushless edition, Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL, Slash VXL brushless models, and the Ford F-150 Raptor Slash variants, the TRX6967 is a universal upgrade that enhances your RC truck experience. When you buy ready to run RC short course trucks from Traxxas, having quality replacement parts like these body mounts on hand ensures you can maintain peak performance and quickly swap bodies for different racing or bashing scenarios.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Latch, body mounts TRX6967 represent precision engineering focused on the practical requirements of RC short course truck ownership. These mounts are manufactured from durable materials selected to resist the stresses of repeated body mounting and removal cycles whilst maintaining dimensional accuracy. The clipless latch system operates through a mechanical design that requires no springs, clips, or additional fasteners, reducing complexity whilst improving reliability. The engineering approach reflects Traxxas's commitment to user experience—removing your body for maintenance, damage inspection, or body swaps no longer requires fumbling with small plastic clips that can crack under tension or snap unexpectedly. For drivers running brushless 4WD Slash models or electric 2WD variants, rapid body access is crucial for checking wiring, adjusting components, and preparing for the next driving session. The mounts integrate seamlessly with existing Traxxas chassis design, meaning installation requires no modifications to your truck's structure. Users should note that whilst these TRX6967 mounts provide the latch interface, they work in conjunction with 6966 clipless latch mounts and retainers for 4X4 Slash variants, or with specific 6940 body mounts for 2WD Slashes, and 6976 and 10125 body mounts and adapters for 4X4 models, all sold separately. This modular approach allows customisation based on your specific Slash model, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimised mounting geometry for your truck's suspension and weight distribution characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these body mounts fit my Traxxas Slash RC truck? — Yes, the TRX6967 is compatible with a wide range of Traxxas Slash variants including the Slash 4X4, Slash 4X4 BL-2S brushless, Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL, Slash VXL brushless, Slash Brushless VXL, and Ford F-150 Raptor Slash models. However, compatibility depends on which latch mounts and body mount adapters your specific model requires, so verify your Slash variant against the compatibility list before ordering.
- What is the advantage of clipless body mounts over traditional clip mounts? — Clipless mounting eliminates small plastic clips that can break, crack, or be misplaced, making body attachment and removal faster and more convenient. The latch system provides a firm, secure hold that doesn't rely on clip tension, meaning your body stays perfectly aligned through aggressive driving whilst remaining easy to remove for maintenance and inspection.
- Are these mounts difficult to install on my Slash? — Installation is straightforward if your Slash is already equipped with or can accept clipless latch mounts. The mounts attach securely without requiring modifications to your chassis. If you're upgrading from traditional clip mounts, you'll need to install the 6966 latch mounts and retainers first, which is a simple process outlined in Traxxas documentation.
- Do I need to buy additional parts to use these body mounts? — Yes, these TRX6967 mounts work in conjunction with the 6966 clipless latch mounts and retainers, which are sold separately. Depending on your Slash model (2WD or 4WD), you may also need specific body mount adapters such as the 6940, 6976, or 10125, which are also sold separately. This modular design allows you to build the exact mounting configuration suited to your truck.
- Can I use these mounts on both 2WD and 4WD Slash models? — The TRX6967 mounts are compatible with both 2WD and 4WD Slash models, but the supporting mounts and adapters required differ between variants. Verify your specific Slash model to ensure you order the correct complementary parts for complete compatibility.
- How durable are these replacement body mounts? — Manufactured by Traxxas to original equipment standards, these mounts are engineered to withstand repeated body removal and reattachment cycles. The durable material resists cracking and maintains alignment through hundreds of mounting cycles, making them a reliable long-term investment for any Slash owner.
