Overview
The VITAVON CNC Aluminium #7075 Rear Upper Bulkhead for X-MAXX XRT 1/5 is a premium performance upgrade designed specifically for Traxxas X-MAXX and XRT platform vehicles. This precision-engineered component is manufactured from high-grade aluminium #7075 using advanced 3D CNC machining processes, making it an essential upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers across the UK. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying high-speed runs or a dedicated RC car UK competitor, this rear upper bulkhead replacement offers the durability and precision engineering that separates quality aftermarket parts from standard factory components.
The X-MAXX and XRT are legendary platforms in the 1/5 scale RC world, known for their power and performance capabilities. However, stock components can struggle under extreme driving conditions, particularly when pushing the limits with high-performance tuning and aggressive bashing. The VITAVON CNC rear upper bulkhead addresses this by providing a stronger, more rigid structure that maintains its shape under intense stress. This upgrade is ideal for bashers and racers who demand reliability alongside performance, and it's perfect for anyone looking to build a truly durable, competition-grade 1/5 scale RC truck or buggy.
Available in multiple colour options including Silver, Black, Green, Blue, Orange and Red, this component allows you to customise your X-MAXX or XRT to match your personal style whilst delivering genuine performance benefits. The precision CNC manufacturing ensures perfect fitment and compatibility with your vehicle, eliminating the guesswork and ensuring a professional installation experience.
Key Features
- High-Grade Aluminium #7075 Construction — This part is manufactured from premium aluminium #7075, one of the strongest and most durable aluminium alloys available in the RC hobby market. This material choice means the rear upper bulkhead will resist bending and deformation far better than plastic alternatives, providing a more rigid structure that handles extreme driving forces without failure.
- 3D CNC Precision Machining — Every component is produced using advanced 3D CNC machining processes, which means tolerances are incredibly tight and the fit is absolutely precise. This manufacturing method ensures consistency and quality control that far exceeds hand-crafted or injection-moulded parts, giving you a professional-grade component every single time.
- Direct X-MAXX and XRT Compatibility — This rear upper bulkhead is engineered specifically for the Traxxas X-MAXX and XRT 1/5 scale vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment without modification or adaptation. You can install this with confidence knowing it integrates seamlessly with your existing platform.
- Multiple Colour Options — Choose from Silver, Black, Green, Blue, Orange or Red to match your RC truck's colour scheme and express your personal style. These colour options allow you to build a cohesive, professional-looking vehicle that stands out at the track or in your local RC community.
- Enhanced Durability for Extreme Conditions — The aluminium construction and CNC precision make this bulkhead suitable for a range of demanding driving conditions including buggy racing, crawler challenges, drift car setups, scale truck builds and short course truck competitions, ensuring longevity regardless of your driving style.
- Professional Quality Upgrade — This is a genuine performance upgrade part, not a cosmetic modification. The increased rigidity and durability directly translate to better handling, improved suspension geometry maintenance, and reduced flex under load, all of which contribute to faster lap times and more reliable performance.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Aluminium #7075 Rear Upper Bulkhead represents the pinnacle of aftermarket upgrade engineering for 1/5 scale RC vehicles. The use of aluminium #7075 — the same alloy used in aerospace and precision engineering applications — demonstrates VITAVON's commitment to quality and performance. This material offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, meaning you gain structural rigidity without adding significant weight to your vehicle. The 3D CNC manufacturing process ensures every edge is precisely cut, every mounting hole is perfectly positioned, and every surface is finished to exacting tolerances. This level of precision is crucial in competitive RC racing and high-performance bashing, where even small variations can affect handling characteristics and vehicle longevity. The rear upper bulkhead plays a critical role in your X-MAXX or XRT's suspension geometry and chassis rigidity. By upgrading to this VITAVON component, you're ensuring that your suspension geometry remains consistent even under the extreme stresses of high-speed driving, large jumps, hard landings and aggressive cornering. This consistency directly translates to more predictable handling, improved acceleration characteristics, and better overall vehicle control whether you're running on track at an RC racing UK facility or enjoying high-speed runs on private land.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this rear upper bulkhead compatible with my Traxxas X-MAXX? — Yes, this VITAVON CNC rear upper bulkhead is designed specifically for the Traxxas X-MAXX 1/5 scale vehicle. It is also compatible with the X-MAXX XRT variant. Simply verify that you own an X-MAXX or XRT platform and this component will fit perfectly without requiring any modifications or additional adapters.
- What colour options are available for this bulkhead? — The VITAVON CNC Aluminium #7075 Rear Upper Bulkhead is available in six colour variations: Silver, Black, Green, Blue, Orange and Red. This wide selection allows you to choose a colour that matches your existing vehicle colour scheme or create a custom aesthetic that reflects your personal preferences.
- Why is aluminium #7075 better than plastic or steel alternatives? — Aluminium #7075 offers the optimal balance of strength, weight and corrosion resistance for RC vehicle applications. It is stronger than the aluminium alloys used in many budget aftermarket parts, yet significantly lighter than steel. This material resists bending and deformation under extreme stress, maintains its shape over years of use, and provides the kind of precision that CNC manufacturing demands. Unlike plastic, it will not flex or warp even in hot weather conditions, and unlike mild steel, it won't rust or corrode in damp UK climates.
- Will this upgrade improve my vehicle's performance? — Yes. By increasing the rigidity of your X-MAXX or XRT's rear structure, this bulkhead ensures that your suspension geometry remains consistent under load. This means your suspension can work more effectively, your handling becomes more predictable, and you can drive with greater confidence knowing that the chassis structure will maintain its intended geometry. For competitive drivers, this translates to faster lap times; for bashers, it means more reliable, longer-lasting performance during high-stress driving.
- Is this part easy to install? — As a direct-fit component engineered specifically for the X-MAXX and XRT, installation is straightforward. However, this is a structural component, so you should follow Traxxas suspension disassembly procedures carefully. If you're familiar with RC truck maintenance and suspension work, you'll find this installation manageable. If you're new to RC car UK modifications, consider seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts at your local hobby shop or RC community.
- What is the difference between this CNC-machined bulkhead and the factory plastic component? — The factory rear upper bulkhead in your X-MAXX or XRT is typically plastic or lower-grade aluminium. Under extreme driving conditions, these components can flex and warp, which affects suspension geometry and handling. The VITAVON CNC-machined aluminium #7075 component is dramatically more rigid, maintains perfect geometry under stress, and will outlast the original component by years. The precision CNC manufacturing also ensures perfect fitment, whereas plastic parts can develop wear and tolerance stack-up over time.
- Will this work with other X-MAXX upgrades? — Yes. The VITAVON CNC Aluminium #7075 Rear Upper Bulkhead is designed to integrate with the standard X-MAXX and XRT platform, and it will work seamlessly alongside other VITAVON upgrades and aftermarket components designed for these vehicles. Many serious builders use multiple VITAVON CNC-machined components together for a fully upgraded, professional-grade build.
