RPM Adjustable Height Body Mounts for Traxxas Slash 4x4 1/10 Short Course Truck RPM73932

Overview

The RPM Adjustable Height Body Mounts for Traxxas Slash 4x4 are precision-engineered suspension components designed to give RC enthusiasts complete control over their truck's body positioning. Whether you're running a short course truck for competitive racing or weekend bashing, these adjustable mounts solve a problem that stock setups simply cannot address: the lack of height adjustment options. If you're looking to fine-tune your 1/10 scale 4WD RC truck's handling characteristics and appearance, these body mounts from RPM represent a significant upgrade from standard equipment.

RPM has engineered these body mounts to deliver both performance and durability. The design philosophy centres on versatility—starting lower than stock by approximately 1/8 inch (3.2mm), these mounts allow you to achieve multiple height positions using included spacers. This means you can optimise your Slash 4x4 for different driving conditions, whether you need maximum suspension travel or prefer the aggressive stance that comes with a higher body position. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts, this level of customisation is invaluable.

Built from engineering-grade materials moulded in durable black, these body mounts combine lightweight construction with exceptional rigidity. The reinforced rib structure provides superior support for your truck's body whilst maintaining minimal weight penalty. Whether you're competing in UK RC racing events or simply enjoying casual drives, the RPM body mounts deliver the durability and impact-resistance needed to withstand extreme driving situations.

Key Features

• Adjustable Height Positioning — These body mounts offer variable height options through included spacers, allowing you to lower the body by 1/8 inch below stock, maintain stock height, raise it by 1/8 inch above stock, or even increase height by 1/4 inch using both spacers together. This flexibility means you can adapt your Slash 4x4's setup to suit different driving styles, track conditions, and aesthetic preferences without purchasing multiple body mount kits.
• Lower Than Stock Base Design — Starting at approximately 1/8 inch (3.2mm) lower than standard Traxxas body mounts, the RPM design provides a more aggressive stance right out of the box, which appeals to drivers who prefer a lowered appearance and potentially improved aerodynamics on their brushless RC short course truck.
• Included Spacer System — The kit includes two moulded spacers of different thicknesses, enabling precision height adjustment without requiring additional purchases. The thin spacer restores stock height, whilst the thicker spacer adds 1/8 inch, or both spacers together provide 1/4 inch of additional clearance for extreme suspension travel requirements.
• Reinforced Rib Structure — RPM engineered larger ribs into these body mounts to provide extra rigidity and structural support for the body chassis whilst keeping overall weight to a minimum, ensuring your truck maintains handling precision even during aggressive driving or impacts.
• Engineering-Grade Materials — Constructed from a proven-tough blend of materials that deliver exceptional durability and impact-resistance, these black moulded mounts can withstand the stresses of extreme RC truck driving situations where standard plastic components might fail.
• Versatile Mounting Locations — These body mounts can be installed at either the front or rear location on your Traxxas Slash 4x4, providing complete flexibility in your truck's setup configuration and allowing you to customise your vehicle exactly how you want it.
• Complete Hardware Included — Each kit includes all necessary mounting hardware: two body posts, one body mount bracket, two spacers, and two M3 x 16mm mounting screws, meaning you have everything required for installation without searching for separate fasteners.

Technical Performance

The RPM Adjustable Height Body Mounts represent a significant engineering achievement in chassis customisation for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 platform. These mounts are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with 1/10 scale 4WD short course truck platforms, offering adjustment capabilities that factory equipment cannot provide. The engineering-grade material blend from which these mounts are moulded has been proven through extensive testing to deliver superior impact-resistance compared to standard plastic body mounts, making these components ideal for the demanding requirements of modern RC racing and bashing. The larger rib structure engineered into each mount provides measurable improvements in body support and rigidity, preventing body flex during cornering and impacts whilst maintaining a lightweight profile that doesn't compromise your truck's weight distribution or acceleration characteristics. The versatility of the spacer system means you can adjust height in increments of 1/8 inch up to a maximum of 1/4 inch, with each configuration offering distinct advantages: the lower position improves centre of gravity and handling response, the stock position provides familiarity and baseline performance, the raised single-spacer position increases wheel well clearance and suspension travel, and the maximum height configuration (requiring optional M3 x 20mm screws not included) delivers extreme ground clearance for challenging terrain. These mounts fit the Traxxas Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, Traxxas Slash VXL 4x4 in all colour options (Orange, Blue, Green, Red), and can be installed as a front pair, rear pair, or complete set using two kits, making them adaptable to your specific setup requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How much height adjustment do RPM body mounts provide for the Slash 4x4? — These body mounts start 1/8 inch (approximately 3.2mm) lower than stock Traxxas equipment. Using the included thin spacer restores stock height. The thicker spacer adds 1/8 inch above stock height. Using both spacers together provides a total of 1/4 inch additional height, though this requires longer M3 x 20mm mounting screws which are not included in the kit.
• Are these body mounts suitable for both front and rear mounting? — Yes, these RPM adjustable height body mounts are designed to be mounted at either the front or rear location on your Traxxas Slash 4x4, giving you complete flexibility in how you configure your truck's body mounting system.
• What makes RPM body mounts superior to standard Traxxas equipment? — RPM engineered larger reinforcing ribs into these mounts to provide additional rigidity and body support whilst keeping weight minimal. They are moulded from a proven-tough engineering-grade material blend that delivers superior impact-resistance and durability compared to standard plastic mounts, making them better suited to extreme driving situations.
• How many kits do I need for a complete vehicle? — Two complete RPM body mount kits are required to outfit both the front and rear of one Traxxas Slash 4x4. A single kit contains components for one mounting location.
• What Traxxas Slash 4x4 models are compatible with these body mounts? — These mounts are compatible with the Traxxas Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL brushless short course truck and the Traxxas Slash VXL 4x4 RTR models in all available colours including Orange, Blue, Green, and Red variants.
• Why would I want a lower body mount position? — Lowering your Slash 4x4's body position improves the centre of gravity, which enhances handling response, cornering grip, and overall vehicle stability, particularly beneficial for competitive RC racing where chassis balance is critical.
• What are the advantages of raising the body height? — Raising body height increases wheel well clearances, providing additional suspension travel for technical terrain, and delivers a more aggressive aesthetic stance that many enthusiasts prefer for weekend bashing and casual driving.
