- White Finish — The white colour scheme matches the factory appearance of multiple WideMaxx Monster Truck variants, including the Rock N Roll, Green, and Red editions, allowing you to maintain a clean, unified look across your model regardless of its current colour scheme.
- Protective Design — The tailgate protector shields the rear section of your WideMaxx from impact damage, dirt accumulation, and wear that naturally occurs during aggressive off-road bashing, rock crawling, and high-speed running across varied UK terrain.
- Easy Installation — The straightforward screw-based mounting system makes replacement and installation accessible to RC enthusiasts of all experience levels, requiring only basic tools and taking just minutes to complete without specialist knowledge.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Tailgate protector is engineered from durable, impact-resistant materials specifically formulated to withstand the demanding environment of RC monster truck bashing. The white finish is applied using Traxxas's proven colouring process, ensuring excellent durability and resistance to fading even after extended exposure to sunlight during outdoor RC running sessions across the United Kingdom. The protector's structural design integrates seamlessly with the WideMaxx Monster Truck's chassis and bodywork, maintaining aerodynamic properties whilst providing critical impact protection to the rear tailgate area. The four supplied 3x15mm flat-head screws feature precision threading and high-quality fastening capability, ensuring secure attachment that withstands the vibrations and impacts inherent in aggressive RC driving. This spare part is manufactured to exacting Traxxas quality control standards, guaranteeing that it meets the same rigorous specifications as the original equipment installed on new WideMaxx models, making it suitable for both casual weekend bashing and competitive racing applications where reliability is paramount.
