Key Features
- Genuine Chrome Side Mirrors (Left & Right Pair) — These are authentic left and right chrome mirrors that provide complete side mirror coverage for your scale model body. The chrome finish is highly reflective and visually striking, giving your RC car a polished, realistic appearance that stands out on the track, in competition, or on display.
- Complete Hardware Kit Included — Rather than having to hunt down separate parts, this package includes everything required for installation in one convenient box, including four precision-engineered body clips that securely fasten the mirrors to your body shell without any rattle or movement.
- Four O-Rings Supplied — The inclusion of four o-rings ensures a proper fit and weatherproof seal around the mounting points, helping to prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from entering areas where the mirrors attach to the body. These o-rings maintain their flexibility and sealing properties over extended use.
- Four Body Clips Included — Purpose-designed body clips provide secure fastening that holds the mirrors firmly in place during high-speed running, aggressive cornering, and demanding driving conditions. The clips are engineered to balance holding power with easy installation and removal when you need to service or replace components.
- Factory-Authentic Fit — These mirrors are precision-manufactured by Traxxas to fit the #9421 body perfectly, ensuring proper alignment, gap-free installation, and a seamless appearance that looks like the mirrors were always part of the body design.
- Scale Realism Enhancement — For RC car enthusiasts who value authenticity and attention to detail, these mirrors transform the appearance of your model, adding genuine scale realism that elevates the overall quality of your RC vehicle's presentation.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Mirrors represent the company's commitment to quality in every component, no matter how small. These are not cheap aftermarket approximations, but genuine factory parts manufactured to Traxxas's rigorous engineering standards. The chrome plating is applied through a professional finishing process that creates a durable, corrosion-resistant surface capable of withstanding outdoor RC use, including exposure to dust, dirt, moisture, and UV sunlight. The mirrors themselves are moulded from impact-resistant materials designed to survive the inevitable bumps and minor collisions that occur during recreational and competitive RC driving. The mounting hardware is engineered for reliability—the body clips provide consistent holding force without stripping or loosening over repeated mounting and removal cycles, whilst the o-rings maintain their sealing properties across a wide temperature range. Whether you're running your RC car UK in mild British spring conditions or during the hotter months of summer, these components perform consistently. The assembly is straightforward enough for beginners to accomplish, yet satisfying for experienced builders who appreciate the quality of genuine Traxxas parts. Installation takes only minutes, and the professional appearance you achieve makes the effort worthwhile. The mirrors contribute to the overall structural and aesthetic integrity of your body shell, enhancing not just the look but the completeness of your scale model.

- Will the chrome finish last a long time? — The chrome plating on these Traxxas mirrors is applied through professional finishing processes designed to resist corrosion and UV fading. With normal use and occasional cleaning, the chrome finish will maintain its lustrous appearance for extended periods. Storing your RC car indoors when not in use helps preserve the finish further.
