Overview
The Traxxas Body mounts, front and rear (for clipless body mounting) TRX9040 are essential replacement components for any RC enthusiast looking to customise their Traxxas TRX-4 crawler or other compatible models. These clipless body mounts provide a quick and tool-free method of securing alternative body shells to your RC vehicle, eliminating the need for traditional screws and fasteners. Whether you're switching between different body styles, upgrading to a new design, or simply replacing worn mounting hardware, this complete set offers the flexibility and reliability that serious RC car UK users demand.
Clipless body mounting has become increasingly popular amongst RC hobbyists because it dramatically speeds up body changes and reduces the risk of damage to both the body shell and mounting posts. Instead of fumbling with multiple screws and tools, you can simply clip your chosen body into place within seconds, making it ideal for those who like to swap between different looks or experiment with various body styles on the same chassis. This is particularly valuable for trail crawler enthusiasts and bashers who want the freedom to personalise their ready to run RC models without the hassle of traditional fastening methods.
This replacement set is manufactured by Traxxas, a brand recognised worldwide for engineering quality RC components that withstand demanding off-road use. The body mounts are engineered to securely hold your body shell in place during all terrain conditions, from gentle trail crawling through technical rock gardens to more aggressive bashing sessions. If you're serious about maintaining your RC vehicle's performance and appearance, investing in genuine Traxxas replacement body mounts ensures compatibility and longevity.
Key Features
- Clipless mounting design — The clipless system eliminates the need for screws and tools, allowing you to mount and remove body shells in seconds without risk of stripping fasteners or damaging mounting posts, saving time between runs and making body swaps simple and stress-free.
- Front and rear set — This complete set includes both front and rear body mounts, so you have everything needed for full compatibility with your RC crawler chassis, eliminating the need to purchase multiple products separately.
- Replacement components — These are genuine Traxxas spare parts designed as direct replacements for worn or damaged body mounts, ensuring perfect fitment and performance on compatible models.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body mounts TRX9040 are engineered with the same attention to quality and durability that defines the broader Traxxas product range. These mounts are specifically designed for use with the clipless body mounting system found on numerous Traxxas models, particularly the TRX-4 series of crawlers and trail trucks. The set includes a range of different height posts and staggered braces, allowing you to fine-tune the positioning of your body shell to suit various body designs and your preferred aesthetic. This modularity is crucial for RC enthusiasts who like to experiment with different body styles or who need to adapt their setup for specific terrain challenges. The mounting hardware is built to withstand the rigours of off-road RC driving, from rocky trail crawling to muddy terrain bashings, ensuring that your body remains securely mounted throughout your driving sessions. The clipless design means no screws to vibrate loose or fasteners to strip during assembly and disassembly, maintaining the integrity of both the mounts and your body shell over extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body mounts compatible with my Traxxas TRX-4 RC crawler? — Yes, these Traxxas body mounts are designed for use with Traxxas TRX-4 models that feature clipless body mounting, including Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne editions, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT editions, Chevrolet K5 Blazer models, Nissan Pathfinder editions, and the Defender 4WD variants. Check your model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Do I need any tools to install or change bodies with these mounts? — The clipless design eliminates the need for tools when mounting and removing body shells. However, installation of the mounts themselves onto your chassis will require standard RC tools. The primary advantage is that once installed, you can swap body shells without any tools or fasteners.
- What makes clipless body mounting better than traditional screw-on mounts? — Clipless mounting offers several advantages: it's significantly faster to change bodies, there are no small screws to lose, you eliminate the risk of stripping screw holes or fastener heads, and you can swap between different body styles in seconds. This makes it particularly popular with RC hobbyists who like to experiment with different looks or have multiple body shells.
- Why would I need replacement body mounts? — Over time, body mounts can wear, the clips can become loose, or the posts can become damaged through normal use. Having replacement mounts ensures your body stays securely mounted and allows you to restore your RC vehicle to like-new condition. Additionally, if you upgrade to a different body shell that requires a different mounting height, additional posts from this set give you the flexibility to adjust.
- Can I adjust the height of the body on my chassis with these mounts? — Yes, this set includes multiple height posts and staggered braces specifically designed to allow height adjustments. You can select different post heights to accommodate various body styles or personalise the ground clearance and stance of your RC model.
- What is the difference between these body mounts and standard screw-on mounts? — The key difference is the clipless system versus traditional fasteners. Clipless mounts secure the body through a clip mechanism rather than screws, offering faster changes, less risk of damage, and no lost fasteners. They're ideal for hobbyists who frequently change body shells or want a more convenient setup.
