Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body washers, foam TRX8317 are engineered from high-quality foam material that balances protection with minimal impact on vehicle weight and aerodynamics. Foam is the ideal material choice for body protection because it absorbs impact energy, distributes pressure evenly across the body surface, and resists compression from repeated handling and storage. Unlike harder materials that might transfer shock directly to your RC car's bodywork, foam provides a gentle, forgiving protective layer that maintains the integrity of your body panels over extended periods. The foam construction ensures that whether you're storing your RC vehicle for weeks between racing sessions or regularly transporting it in your RC car bag, your body remains protected from the cumulative damage caused by friction, contact, and environmental exposure. These washers are designed to work with Traxxas RC vehicles, demonstrating Traxxas's commitment to providing comprehensive support for vehicle owners through genuine aftermarket accessories and replacement parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly are body washers and why do I need them for my RC car? — Body washers are protective foam accessories that sit between your RC vehicle's body panels and external surfaces, providing cushioning against scratches, dents, and deformation. They're particularly important if you transport your RC car frequently, store it for extended periods, or handle it regularly during maintenance. Using body washers is a simple preventative measure that can significantly extend the lifespan of your body shell and maintain its appearance and structural integrity.

• How do I install these body washers on my RC car? — Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools. Simply position the foam washers between your body panels and the vehicle chassis according to the instructions included. The simple design makes these washers accessible even for beginners new to RC vehicle maintenance.
• Will body washers affect my RC car's performance or appearance? — No, foam body washers are designed to provide protection without negatively impacting your vehicle's performance. The lightweight foam material won't add meaningful weight or alter your RC car's aerodynamics, handling, or speed. Visually, the washers sit discreetly between panels and won't be visible on your finished RC vehicle.
• How do body washers help during storage? — When you store your RC vehicle for periods between driving sessions, the body can gradually deform or develop stress points where it contacts the chassis.
