Overview
The Traxxas Body Support, centre / 3x16 CS (8 pcs) TRX9513 is an essential chassis spare part designed for owners of the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 scale 4WD brushless electric monster truck. Whether you're a serious competitor, weekend basher, or dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK, having quality replacement chassis components on hand is crucial for keeping your RC model in peak condition. This pack of eight centre body support brackets ensures that your Sledge maintains optimal chassis geometry and structural integrity during aggressive off-road driving, jumps, and high-speed runs.
Body supports are critical components in any RC vehicle's chassis assembly, serving to maintain proper body-to-frame clearance and prevent unwanted flex in the centre of the chassis. The Traxxas Sledge Belted is renowned for its extreme durability and capability as a 1/8 scale monster truck, and these genuine OEM body supports are engineered to match the exacting standards that Traxxas is famous for. If you've damaged, lost, or worn out your original body supports during intensive use, this replacement set will restore your Sledge to factory specification and ensure consistent handling characteristics. For UK RC enthusiasts looking to maintain their brushless electric RC models, purchasing genuine Traxxas spares like this is the smart choice.
This eight-piece set offers excellent value for maintaining multiple vehicles or keeping spares in your pit box for race days and events. The 3x16 CS (Countersunk Screw) specification means these parts are specifically designed to work with 3mm countersunk fasteners, ensuring perfect fitment and a clean, flush installation on your chassis.
Key Features
- Eight-piece pack — This generous quantity ensures you have enough replacement body supports for multiple Sledge vehicles or enough spares to rotate through your fleet of RC models without having to reorder frequently.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM component — As an official Traxxas replacement part, these body supports are manufactured to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the original components fitted to new Sledge models, guaranteeing perfect fit and performance.
- 3x16 countersunk screw design — The countersunk specification allows fasteners to sit flush with the surface, preventing snags and maintaining a clean chassis profile while reducing drag during high-speed runs on UK tracks and outdoor terrain.
- Centre body support configuration — Specifically engineered for the centre of the chassis, these supports maintain critical body-to-frame spacing and prevent chassis flex during cornering, acceleration, and landing from big jumps.
- Sledge Belted compatibility — Designed specifically for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck in all colour variants including blue, orange, green, and red models.
- Replacement chassis spares — Perfect for rebuilding damaged chassis, refreshing worn components, or maintaining a spare parts collection for competitions and events.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body Support centre / 3x16 CS represents precision engineering designed to meet the demanding requirements of 1/8 scale RC monster truck driving. These components are manufactured using durable materials engineered to withstand the stresses of the powerful Sledge platform, which features brushless electric power delivery and all-terrain 4WD capability. The centre body supports are critical to maintaining chassis rigidity during the aggressive acceleration, cornering forces, and impact loads that occur when driving a brushless 1/8 monster truck at speed across rough terrain. The countersunk screw holes ensure that fasteners don't protrude above the surface, which is essential on a chassis where every millimetre of ground clearance matters. Built to Traxxas's exacting manufacturing standards, these OEM parts ensure that when installed, your Sledge will handle exactly as Traxxas engineers intended, with no flex or movement in the centre chassis that could affect steering response, suspension geometry, or overall vehicle balance during high-speed bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a body support and why does my Sledge need it? — Body supports are structural components that mount between the chassis and the body shell, maintaining proper clearance and preventing the chassis from flexing excessively at the centre point. When driving a brushless 1/8 RC monster truck like the Sledge Belted, these supports are essential because they maintain consistent suspension geometry and chassis stiffness, which directly affects handling and performance. If body supports are missing, cracked, or damaged, you'll notice your vehicle handling inconsistently and potentially sustaining further chassis damage.
- Will these fit my Traxxas Sledge Belted? — Yes, these centre body supports are specifically designed for all versions of the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck, regardless of colour (blue, orange, green, or red variants all use identical chassis). Always verify your model number is one of the compatible models listed before purchasing.
- How many body supports should I have on my chassis? — The Sledge Belted chassis uses multiple body support points, both centre and rear. This pack contains eight centre supports, and depending on your chassis configuration and build, you may need to purchase additional rear body supports separately to fully maintain your vehicle.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX9513 is an official OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Traxxas replacement part, manufactured to factory specifications. When you purchase these from RC Model Shop, you're buying authentic Traxxas components that will integrate perfectly with your existing Sledge Belted chassis.
- Do I need any special tools to install these? — You'll need a standard 1.5mm or 2.0mm hex wrench (depending on your fastener choice) and a Phillips or slot-head screwdriver for the countersunk screws. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience.
- Can I use these on other Traxxas models? — These parts are specifically engineered for the Sledge Belted platform. While other Traxxas 1/8 scale models might have similar body support systems, you should check your vehicle's manual or contact our team to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
