Overview
The RC4WD Diamond Plate Rear Fender Quarters for Traxxas TRX-4 (VVV-C0441) are precision-engineered scale detail upgrades designed to enhance the authentic appearance of your trail truck. Whether you're a dedicated RC crawler enthusiast, a weekend basher, or someone serious about scale realism on your RC car, these stamped stainless steel fender covers deliver professional-grade detailing that transforms the rear quarter panels of your TRX-4. These components represent the kind of meticulous attention to detail that separates a stock RC vehicle from a truly scale-accurate build, making them an essential addition for anyone looking to elevate their Traxxas TRX-4 to competition or display quality.
RC scale trucks have become increasingly popular in the UK RC hobby community, and builders are constantly seeking ways to add authentic details that mimic real-world vehicles. The Diamond Plate Rear Fender Quarters tap into this passion by providing an instantly recognisable feature found on full-size 4x4 trucks and utility vehicles. Made from genuine stamped stainless steel, these fender covers feature an authentic diamond tread finish that catches light realistically and adds genuine mechanical character to your build. Available now at RC Model Shop, these parts are an affordable way to dramatically improve the scale appearance of your TRX-4 without requiring extensive modification or specialist tools.
Installation is straightforward and hassle-free, making these upgrades suitable for builders of all experience levels. The package includes everything you need — the fender cover set plus all necessary hardware — so you can achieve that polished, finished look straight away. For those building a competition-grade TRX-4 or creating a scale replica of a specific real-world vehicle, these fender quarters are the kind of finishing touch that judges and fellow enthusiasts notice immediately. They're equally at home on a showpiece display model or a hard-working trail truck that sees genuine off-road action.
Key Features
- Stamped Stainless Steel Construction — The fender covers are crafted from genuine stamped stainless steel, which provides durability and corrosion resistance whilst maintaining authentic scale appearance. Stainless steel won't rust or degrade even when exposed to moisture during outdoor RC sessions, making these a long-term investment in your truck's appearance.
- Authentic Diamond Plate Finish — The diamond tread pattern is stamped directly into the steel, creating a three-dimensional textured surface that looks completely realistic at scale. This isn't printed or applied decoration; it's a genuine stamped pattern that catches light and creates shadow detail exactly like real truck fender covers.
- Precise Engineering for TRX-4 Fitment — These fender quarters are specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas TRX-4 chassis perfectly. The dimensions have been carefully calculated to integrate seamlessly with the existing body lines and suspension geometry, ensuring a professional installation without gaps or misalignment.
- Complete Hardware Package Included — Installation includes six cross head cap screws (M1x3mm in black) and six matching regular M1 nuts in silver. Having all hardware included means you can complete the installation immediately without hunting for matching fasteners, and the colour-matched hardware (black screws, silver nuts) maintains aesthetic consistency with the build.
- Compact and Lightweight Design — At just 0.35 ounces (9.8 grams), these fender covers add virtually no weight to your chassis, meaning they won't affect handling characteristics, performance, or suspension balance. This makes them ideal for RC builds where weight management and centre of gravity are critical considerations.
- Easy Installation and Removal — The fender covers attach using simple fasteners and don't require permanent modification to your chassis. They can be removed and reinstalled as needed, making them perfect for showcasing different builds or quickly switching between display and running configurations.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Diamond Plate Rear Fender Quarters represent a commitment to authentic scale detailing through precision engineering and quality materials. These components are manufactured using a stamped steel process, which creates the three-dimensional diamond pattern texture that's integral to their authentic appearance. The stainless steel material selection is particularly important; it resists corrosion from moisture and environmental exposure, ensuring these upgrades maintain their appearance even after extended outdoor use on wet terrain or during humid UK weather conditions. The total length of 4.5 inches (114.5 millimetres) and width of 2.31 inches (58.6 millimetres) have been precisely calculated to fit the proportions of the Traxxas TRX-4 correctly, ensuring they integrate visually with the existing body panels and suspension components without looking oversized or undersized. At just 9.8 grams per pair, the weight addition is negligible, making these suitable for performance-critical builds where every gram counts. The included hardware — specifically M1x3mm fasteners — is appropriately scaled and colour-matched (black cap screws and silver nuts) to maintain visual consistency with the overall build. Installation is straightforward using standard RC tools, and the manufacturers recommend careful handling during initial setup to prevent creasing, though once properly installed they provide a robust upgrade that will withstand genuine trail use and outdoor conditions.
