Overview
The Traxxas Hardware Kit (TRX10792X) is an essential upgrade for owners of the Mini Maxx BL-2S and Mini XRT VXL-3S RC vehicles.

The hex-drive heads ensure secure connections and simple installation, meaning you can have your vehicle upgraded and ready to run in no time at all.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — Every fastener in this kit is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, which resists rust and corrosion far better than standard steel hardware, ensuring long-lasting performance even when your RC car UK is exposed to wet, muddy or damp conditions.
- Hex-Drive Heads — The hex-drive head design delivers a positive and secure connection that prevents stripped heads and ensures reliable fastening, making installation and removal straightforward with standard hex drivers.
- Complete Hardware Solution — This kit contains all the hardware used on your Mini Maxx or Mini XRT, meaning you can perform a total upgrade or rebuild with confidence that you have every fastener needed.
- Organised Compartment Storage — Individual compartments keep every component neatly separated and clearly labelled in the storage box, making it easy to identify parts, maintain inventory and locate the exact fastener you need during assembly or maintenance.
- Enhanced Durability — Upgrading to stainless steel hardware significantly extends the working life of your brushless RC vehicle, particularly in the UK's variable weather conditions where moisture and salt exposure can degrade standard fasteners.
- Professional Grade Quality — Manufactured by Traxxas, a leading name in RC vehicles, this hardware kit meets the exacting standards expected from an authorised Traxxas product and reflects decades of experience in RC engineering.
- Easy Installation — The straightforward hex-drive design means you can upgrade your RC car using tools you likely already own, with no special equipment required.
Technical Performance
This hardware kit represents a significant upgrade in terms of build quality and durability for your Mini Maxx BL-2S or Mini XRT VXL-3S. The use of stainless steel throughout the fastener range ensures that your brushless RC vehicle will maintain its mechanical integrity and structural reliability even after repeated exposure to wet conditions, mud, water crossings and the general wear and tear of regular use. Stainless steel is superior to standard plated steel because it resists corrosion at the molecular level rather than relying on surface coatings that can wear away with time. The hex-drive head design is particularly important because it maximises contact between the driver and the fastener head, reducing the risk of stripping and ensuring that fasteners remain secure through countless cycles of tightening and loosening. For users in the UK who operate their RC buggies and trucks in challenging weather, this hardware upgrade is an investment in reliability and longevity that pays dividends over the lifetime of the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this hardware kit compatible with both the Mini Maxx and Mini XRT? — No, this kit is designed specifically for either the Mini Maxx BL-2S or the Mini XRT VXL-3S. The two models use different hardware specifications, so you must verify which model you own before ordering. The kit covers all hardware variants available for your chosen model, including all colour options (Orange, Black, Green, Blue, Red).
- Why should I upgrade to stainless steel hardware on my RC car? — Standard steel fasteners are prone to rust and corrosion, particularly when exposed to moisture, mud and the damp UK climate. Stainless steel resists corrosion at the material level, meaning your fasteners will remain secure, reliable and undamaged for significantly longer. This upgrade is especially valuable if you regularly use your brushless RC vehicle in wet conditions or during winter months when moisture exposure is higher.
- Will upgrading the hardware improve the performance of my Mini Maxx or Mini XRT? — Whilst the hardware upgrade won't increase speed or power output, it will dramatically improve durability and reliability by preventing fastener corrosion and loosening, which can cause mechanical failures and affect handling. By keeping all components firmly secured and free from rust, you'll maintain optimal performance and reduce maintenance downtime.
- How do I know which model of hardware kit to order? — Check your vehicle's model number. If you own a Mini Maxx BL-2S (available in orange, black, green or blue), or a Mini XRT VXL-3S (available in red, blue, green or orange), this kit TRX10792X is compatible with your vehicle regardless of colour. If you're unsure about your model, check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, upgrading hardware is a straightforward task suitable for all skill levels. The kit includes a clearly labelled storage box and the hex-drive fasteners use standard tools that most RC enthusiasts already own. If you've ever assembled or maintained an RC vehicle, you have all the skills needed to complete this upgrade.
- What tools do I need to install this hardware? — You'll need a set of hex drivers (Allen keys) in various sizes to match the fastener heads included in the kit. Most RC enthusiasts have these tools already as part of their standard maintenance kit. No specialised equipment is required.
- Can I use this hardware kit for repairs? — Absolutely. If your Mini Maxx or Mini XRT has suffered corrosion or damaged fasteners, this kit provides all the replacement hardware you need to restore your vehicle to perfect condition. It's an ideal solution for rehabilitation of older models or vehicles that have been exposed to harsh conditions.
