This comprehensive parts pack brings genuine period-correct styling to your RC crawler or trail truck, featuring the iconic front grille design that defines the golden age of full-size Chevrolet SUVs. Whether you're a dedicated scale modeller, a collector of classic truck replicas, or someone looking to upgrade your existing RC vehicle with authentic factory details, this Traxxas OEM part delivers museum-quality accuracy at an affordable price point.

This is not merely a cosmetic upgrade; proper body detailing is fundamental to the hobby of scale model building. The Traxxas Blazer grille kit includes everything needed to transform a basic body shell into a meticulously detailed replica that captures the distinctive character of the 1969-1970 Chevrolet Blazer. RC enthusiasts across the UK who are serious about their builds will appreciate the attention to detail and the quality of OEM Traxxas components.

Key Features

• Authentic 1969-1970 Chevrolet Blazer Grille Design — The centrepiece of this kit is a faithfully reproduced front grille that matches the distinctive horizontal bar pattern of the original full-size vehicle, bringing genuine period-correct styling to your RC model and ensuring it looks authentic whether displayed on a shelf or driven on a trail course.
• Complete Front End Assembly Package — Rather than selling individual components separately, Traxxas bundles everything needed for a comprehensive front-end refresh, including the grille itself plus supporting body elements, which saves you money compared to purchasing parts individually and ensures all components are colour-matched and factory-fitted.
• Five Grille Retainers Included — The kit includes five purpose-designed grille retainers that secure the grille panel firmly to the body shell, ensuring the component stays in place during aggressive off-road driving and allowing for easy installation and removal if you need to access components behind the body.
• Dual Headlight Housing Assembly — Two complete headlight housings are provided, allowing you to create an authentic dual-headlight front end that matches the original vehicle's design and providing the proper foundation for installing scale lighting elements or LED units for night-time visibility and enhanced appearance.
• Complete Lens Set for Lighting Elements — The kit includes two headlight lenses and two turn signal lenses, enabling you to complete a fully detailed lighting package that looks prototypical and can accommodate optional aftermarket LED bulbs to add functional or decorative lighting to your RC model.
• Hood Emblem with Dedicated Mount — A scale-accurate hood emblem and its corresponding mounting bracket are included, adding a final touch of authenticity to the bonnet area and allowing you to proudly display the Chevrolet badge on your trail crawler's upper body panels.
• Comprehensive Hardware Pack — The kit includes 11 fasteners across three different specifications (five 2.6x8 button cap screws, four 2.5x6 button cap screws, and two 1.6x5 self-tapping screws), ensuring you have all the correct fasteners for authentic assembly without needing to source replacement hardware.
• Purpose-Designed for #9112 Body Platform — This kit is engineered specifically for compatibility with the Traxxas #9112 body shell, guaranteeing perfect fitment, proper alignment, and the ideal appearance when assembled, making it an obvious choice for owners of compatible TRX-4 models and other vehicles using this body platform.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Grille for Chevrolet Blazer (1969-1970) represents the company's commitment to engineering excellence in RC body detailing. Each component in this kit is injection-moulded using durable polycarbonate or ABS plastic materials selected for their impact resistance and ability to withstand exposure to sunlight and outdoor elements common in RC driving. The grille itself features reinforced mounting points and the five retainers distribute clamping force evenly across the grille panel to prevent warping or cracking even during high-impact trail driving. The headlight housings are precision-moulded to accept standard RC lighting inserts, allowing enthusiasts to integrate functional LED lighting systems if desired. The dual-lens arrangement creates authentic light distribution patterns reminiscent of the original 1969-1970 vehicle design. All fasteners supplied are stainless steel or hardened steel to resist corrosion, with the self-tapping screws designed for secure installation into plastic body components without requiring pre-drilled holes or nuts on the reverse side. The hood emblem mounts flush against the body for a professional appearance, and the mounting hardware is engineered to prevent vibration loosening during off-road use. Installation requires no special tools beyond a standard screwdriver set, making this an accessible upgrade for builders of all skill levels. The overall construction delivers both aesthetic authenticity and mechanical durability, ensuring your RC model maintains its detailed appearance through seasons of active use on UK trails and terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this grille kit fit my RC crawler or trail truck? — This Traxxas grille is specifically engineered for the #9112 body platform, which is used on various Traxxas TRX-4 models including the 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer and other compatible crawlers. Before purchasing, confirm that your RC model uses the #9112 body shell. If you own a different body version or a non-Traxxas vehicle, this kit will not be compatible, so checking your vehicle documentation or asking the RC Model Shop team is worthwhile.
• Can I install LED lights in the headlight housings? — Yes, the headlight housings in this kit are designed to accommodate standard RC LED lighting inserts and bulbs, though the lights themselves are sold separately. The housings provide proper fitment and light distribution geometry to make your model look authentic with functional or decorative lighting, whether you choose bright white LEDs for actual trail visibility or coloured units for display purposes.
• What tools do I need to install this grille kit? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools: a screwdriver set with Phillips and flathead options in various sizes to match the included fasteners. No drilling, cutting, or specialised tools are necessary, making this an accessible upgrade even for builders with limited experience. The retainers and mounting points are pre-designed for simple snap-together assembly.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. While this is a body detailing component rather than a mechanical upgrade, it is ideal for beginner and intermediate builders looking to improve their models' appearance. Installation requires no electrical knowledge or mechanical expertise, and the included hardware is specifically matched to the mounting points. Even if you have never modified an RC body before, you can successfully install this kit following Traxxas's documentation.
• How do I secure the grille to prevent it coming loose during aggressive driving? — The five grille retainers distribute clamping pressure evenly across the full grille panel, and when properly installed with the included fasteners, they create a secure mechanical joint that resists vibration and impact. Ensure that retainers are positioned symmetrically and fasteners are tightened firmly but not over-tightened, which could crack the plastic. Once properly installed, the grille will remain secure through rough trail driving and creek crossings.
• Can I use this kit on vehicles other than Traxxas models? — This kit is purpose-designed for the #9112 body platform and is engineered for perfect fitment only on compatible Traxxas bodies. Using it on non-Traxxas vehicles or different body versions may result in poor fitment, misaligned components, or mounting point incompatibility. For compatibility outside the Traxxas ecosystem, contact the RC Model Shop team for advice on available alternatives.
• What is the difference between this grille and other aftermarket options? — As an official Traxxas OEM component, this grille is engineered to exact factory specifications with perfect colour matching, quality control, and compatibility guarantees. Aftermarket alternatives from other suppliers may offer lower prices but typically compromise on fitment precision or material quality. Choosing the genuine Traxxas kit ensures authentic appearance, reliable durability, and the peace of mind that comes with official manufacturer support.
