Body mounts are a critical part of any RC vehicle's construction, as they connect the plastic or composite body shell to the chassis frame. Traxxas has engineered these front and rear body mount assemblies to work seamlessly with their suspension geometry and shock tower design, ensuring proper fitment and alignment every time. Unlike universal or generic body mount solutions, these genuine Traxxas components have been specifically tested and validated to provide the exact spacing, height, and alignment that Traxxas vehicles require for optimal performance and appearance.

When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're investing in authentic Traxxas parts that come with the manufacturer's backing and quality assurance. These mounts represent the kind of attention to detail that separates a properly maintained RC car from one that's been hastily repaired with aftermarket compromises.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body mounts, Front & Rear / Body mount posts, Front & Rear are engineered with precision to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of Traxxas RC vehicles. The front and rear mounts feature different specifications to accommodate the unique geometry requirements at each end of the vehicle, with the rear mounts designed to work with the rear shock tower geometry and the front mounts tailored to the front suspension layout. The body posts are manufactured to exact height specifications, ensuring that your vehicle's body maintains the proper clearance above the chassis while remaining securely attached during dynamic driving. The mounting interface uses M3 fasteners (3mm screws) in various lengths, depending on the specific mounting configuration, with threaded holes in the shock towers providing a secure connection that won't loosen even under repeated impacts and vibration. The slots cut into the body posts engage with lugs on the body support, creating a positive mechanical lock that prevents rotational movement and keeps everything aligned perfectly. When properly installed, these body mounts provide a rigid, vibration-free connection that contributes to predictable handling and stability during high-speed runs on the track or rough terrain during off-road adventures. The materials chosen for these components have been tested extensively by Traxxas engineers to ensure they can withstand the punishment that serious RC enthusiasts dish out, from concrete parking lots to muddy fields across the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do these body mounts fit my Traxxas RC vehicle? — The TRX7516 body mounts are designed to fit multiple Traxxas models, though fitment depends on your specific vehicle. Before purchasing, verify your model number against the Traxxas compatibility list, or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop who can confirm compatibility with your particular vehicle to ensure you order the correct components.
• Can I use these mounts with the Extreme Heavy-Duty upgrade kit? — Yes, these body mounts are specifically designed to work with Traxxas Extreme Heavy-Duty upgrade kits. However, you may need to make minor modifications depending on your vehicle model and which mounting method you choose, such as drilling new alignment holes or shaving down mounting bosses to ensure proper fitment with the HD shock tower.
• What tools do I need to install these body mounts? — Basic tools are required for installation, typically including a power drill or driver, appropriate drill bits (such as 1/8-inch and 3/32-inch sizes for drilling alignment holes), a file or sanding block for any necessary modifications, screwdrivers to match your fasteners, and potentially a rotary tool if you need to remove mounting bosses. The exact tools needed depend on whether your specific application requires modifications.
• What size screws do these body mounts use? — Traxxas body mounts typically use M3 fasteners in various lengths, with common specifications being 3x10mm screws for shock tower installation and 3x18mm or 3x20mm screws for post installation, depending on the specific mounting configuration and whether you're using spacers or extended posts.
• Are these body mounts suitable for beginners? — Yes, these body mounts are straightforward to install for anyone with basic mechanical knowledge and simple hand tools. The bolt-on design and clear alignment features make installation accessible to RC car owners of all experience levels, from seasoned competitors to those just starting their journey with RC vehicles in the UK.
• How do I know if my body mounts need replacing? — Inspect your body mounts regularly for cracks, warping, or loose fasteners. If your vehicle's body sits unevenly on the chassis, rattles during operation, or the body mounting holes no longer align properly with the posts, it's time to replace your body mounts with a fresh set like the TRX7516.
• Can I use the stock body mounts with performance upgrade kits? — While some configurations work with stock mounts, many performance upgrades like the Extreme Heavy-Duty kit require either new mounts or modifications to existing ones to ensure proper alignment with upgraded shock towers, which is why many enthusiasts choose to upgrade their body mount system at the same time.
