Overview
The Traxxas Servo mount/bulkhead cover/chassis brace/steering cover with 3x12mm CS (2) TRX7820 is an essential replacement part for owners of the Traxxas XRT range of high-performance RC vehicles. Whether you're running the XRT VXL-8S or the XRT Ultimate, this genuine Traxxas component is engineered to provide superior durability and precision engineering that keeps your RC car UK-ready for competitive racing or weekend bashing. This complete assembly includes everything you need to restore or upgrade your chassis mounting system, making it an indispensable spare for anyone serious about maintaining their brushless RC truck in peak condition.
Designed with the same meticulous attention to detail that Traxxas is renowned for, the TRX7820 combines multiple functional components into one integrated unit. The chassis brace provides structural rigidity to the chassis frame, the servo mount ensures precise steering response, the bulkhead cover protects critical internal components, and the steering cover completes the assembly. This is the kind of quality replacement part that separates casual RC enthusiasts from serious hobbyists who demand reliability and performance from their ready to run RC vehicles and competition-grade equipment.
As a genuine Traxxas part, this component is manufactured to exacting tolerances and tested to withstand the extreme stresses of high-speed RC racing and aggressive off-road driving. If you've experienced damage to your XRT's chassis mounting system or simply want to keep spare components on hand, the TRX7820 represents an intelligent investment in the longevity and performance of your RC car. Compatible with multiple XRT variants including the black, blue, green, and orange versions of the VXL-8S and the blue and green Ultimate X models, this part ensures you can get back on the track or trail without compromise.
