The Traxxas Side frames, flatbed (left, right, and rear) represent precision engineering at the scale RC level. Manufactured by Traxxas using the same production standards applied to all their OEM components, these frames are engineered to withstand the demands of serious scale crawling whilst maintaining authentic proportions. The complete set includes three distinct panel sections—left side, right side, and rear—each precisely dimensioned to fit the TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler platform without modification. The frames are constructed from durable materials selected for their strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance, ensuring that your scale crawler maintains its structural integrity through rocky terrain, water crossings, and challenging obstacles. As genuine Traxxas components designed for the TRX-6 Ultimate platform, these frames integrate seamlessly with the rest of your crawler's chassis and suspension geometry. The manufacturing tolerances are exacting, meaning fitment is perfect and alignment requires no adjustment or customisation. Whether you're rebuilding after damage or simply upgrading to factory-fresh appearance, these frames deliver the same level of quality and performance you'd expect from the world's leading RC truck manufacturer.

The material selection and manufacturing process ensure they maintain structural integrity through intensive use, making them suitable for both weekend bashers and competition crawlers.
- Can I use just one or two of these frames, or do I need to buy the complete set? — This product includes all three sections (left, right, and rear) as a complete set, which provides comprehensive coverage for your entire flatbed area. Most users find it beneficial to replace all sections at once for consistent appearance and protection across the entire chassis.
