Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas Replacement Component — This chassis tray is manufactured by Traxxas to the exact same specifications as the original factory part, ensuring perfect compatibility with your RC car and guaranteed performance without compromise or compatibility issues.
- Black Finish — The professional black colour provides excellent visual contrast with internal components and resists dirt accumulation better than lighter colours, keeping your RC car looking sharp between uses.
- Receiver Box Cover Included — The integrated receiver box cover protects your radio receiver, gyro, and other sensitive electronics from impacts, dust, and moisture, extending the lifespan of your critical electronic components.
- Stuffing Tube Clamp — This precision-engineered clamp secures the fuel stuffing tube and prevents fuel line movement during hard acceleration, braking, and cornering, maintaining consistent fuel delivery and preventing leaks during aggressive driving.
- Stainless Steel Hardware — All fasteners are constructed from marine-grade stainless steel rather than standard steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and durability, especially important if you run your RC car in wet conditions or near coastal areas across the UK.
- Driveshaft Clamp Integration — The chassis tray incorporates dedicated mounting points and clamps for your driveshafts, ensuring they remain perfectly aligned and secure under the extreme stresses of high-speed acceleration and impact.
- Fuel Filler Mount — The integrated fuel filler mounting point secures your fuel tank filler cap with reliability, preventing fuel spillage and contamination during refuelling and operation.
- Comprehensive Seals — Protective seals throughout the tray assembly help keep dust and moisture away from internal drivetrain components, extending service intervals and maintaining optimal performance in all UK weather conditions.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX8420 chassis tray represents precision engineering at its finest, designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern RC racing and recreational driving. This component serves as the critical mounting platform for your vehicle's receiver, drivetrain components, and fuel system, making it essential infrastructure for any Traxxas RC car. The stainless steel hardware resists corrosion far more effectively than standard fasteners, ensuring that your assembly remains tight and secure through hundreds of hours of operation and exposure to moisture, dirt, and the elements common to UK outdoor driving. The receiver box cover and integrated seals work together to protect your expensive radio receiver and electronic components from impact damage and environmental contamination, reducing warranty claims and extending the usable lifespan of your RC car's electronics. The precision-manufactured clamps for the driveshaft and stuffing tube ensure proper alignment and secure retention under acceleration forces, preventing the kind of small movements that accumulate into major failures over time. Whether you're running a competition-spec machine at a professional RC track or a ready to run RC car at your local bash spot, the TRX8420 provides the solid foundation your vehicle needs for reliable performance. The black finish not only looks professional but also helps identify critical wear points and damage during maintenance inspections. Every detail of this chassis tray has been engineered by Traxxas based on decades of experience in RC racing and recreation, making it the smart choice for serious enthusiasts who understand that suspension geometry, drivetrain alignment, and chassis rigidity directly impact your vehicle's handling, speed, and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this chassis tray fit my Traxxas RC car? — The TRX8420 is a genuine Traxxas replacement component manufactured to original specifications. Compatibility depends on your specific Traxxas model, so we recommend confirming the part number in your vehicle's manual or contacting our RC Model Shop team before ordering to ensure it fits your particular RC car.
- Why would I need to replace my chassis tray? — Chassis trays may need replacement after impacts or crashes that damage the mounting points, crack the plastic, or bend the clamps. Additionally, some enthusiasts replace their trays when upgrading electronics or when wear has accumulated from extended use. A replacement tray ensures your RC car returns to factory specification and reliability.
- Are the stainless steel fasteners really better than standard steel? — Yes, stainless steel hardware resists rust and corrosion significantly better than standard plated steel, especially if you run your RC car in wet conditions, near the coast, or simply during the UK's damp climate. This means your fasteners remain tight and secure longer, reducing maintenance and extending the chassis tray's usable lifespan.
- What does the receiver box cover do? — The receiver box cover protects your radio receiver, gyro module, and other sensitive electronics from direct impacts, dust intrusion, and moisture, reducing the risk of expensive electronic failures from crashes or environmental exposure.
- Is this suitable for both racing and recreational use? — Absolutely. The TRX8420 chassis tray is engineered to meet the demands of competitive racing but works equally well in recreational bashing, crawling, or general RC car driving. Its robust construction and precision engineering make it suitable for any driving style.
- Will I need any tools to install this chassis tray? — Installation typically requires basic tools like screwdrivers and hex wrenches, depending on your specific Traxxas model. Your vehicle's manual should provide detailed installation instructions and the tools required. We recommend following Traxxas's official documentation for best results.
