Overview
The Traxxas Antenna caps, vinyl (2 pcs) / antenna spool TRX1926 are essential replacement parts for RC enthusiasts who want to keep their Traxxas models in perfect working condition. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK collector, a weekend basher, or someone who races brushless RC vehicles competitively, having spare antenna caps on hand is a smart investment. These durable vinyl caps protect your RC model's antenna from damage, dirt and the elements, ensuring reliable radio signal reception during every run.
Antenna caps may seem like a small accessory, but they play an important role in maintaining your RC vehicle's performance and longevity. The antenna is one of the most exposed parts of your RC truck, buggy, boat or crawler, and without proper protection it can easily become bent, cracked or fouled with debris. Traxxas antenna caps are specifically engineered to fit perfectly on compatible models and provide robust protection whilst remaining lightweight and unobtrusive. If you've lost or damaged your original antenna caps—which many RC pilots discover happens surprisingly often during intense off-road bashing sessions—these replacement caps from RC Model Shop offer genuine Traxxas quality at an affordable price.
This pack includes two vinyl antenna caps plus an antenna spool, giving you everything you need to restore your model to factory condition or maintain a spare set for backup. Traxxas is the world's leading manufacturer of ready to run RC vehicles and accessories, and their parts are recognised for superior quality and perfect fitment across their entire range of 1/16, 1/10, 1/8 and larger scale models.
Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas Parts — These antenna caps are manufactured by Traxxas themselves, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your RC vehicle. Aftermarket alternatives may not fit as precisely or offer the same level of durability and protection that Traxxas-engineered components provide.
- Durable Vinyl Construction — The caps are made from tough vinyl material that withstands outdoor conditions, impacts and rough handling without cracking or becoming brittle. Vinyl is flexible enough to protect the antenna from sudden impacts whilst remaining rigid enough to stay in place during high-speed runs.
- Pack of Two Caps — You get two replacement caps in this package, meaning you can outfit both your primary RC model and a backup vehicle, or keep one as a spare whilst the other is in use. Having multiple caps ensures you're never without protection on your antenna.
- Includes Antenna Spool — Beyond the two vinyl caps, this kit also includes an antenna spool which helps organise and store your antenna cleanly when your RC vehicle is not in use. The spool keeps the antenna wound neatly and prevents tangling or accidental damage.
- Universal Traxxas Compatibility — These caps work across a huge range of Traxxas models including the E-Revo VXL, Slash and Slash HD variants, Blast boats, Ford Fiesta ST Rally vehicles, Sledge Monster Truck, Spartan boats, Stampede 4X4 HD, TRX-4 Defender crawler, WideMaxx and many more. If you own multiple Traxxas RC cars, boats or trucks, these caps will fit all compatible models.
- Easy Installation — Simply slide the vinyl caps onto your antenna and you're done. No tools, no modifications, no expertise required. Anyone can install these caps in seconds, whether you're an experienced RC competitor or discovering ready to run RC for the first time.
- Affordable Spare Parts — At an excellent price point, it makes sense to stock multiple packs of antenna caps so you always have replacements on hand. Losing antenna caps during bashful off-road driving or water-based boating activities is common, and having genuine Traxxas spares ensures minimal downtime.
- Protects Your Investment — Your RC vehicle is a valued piece of equipment, and protecting its antenna extends the life of your model and maintains consistent radio signal quality. Damaged antennas can lead to poor signal reception and potential loss of control, making these protective caps a worthwhile safety investment.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas antenna cap system represents thoughtful engineering applied to a seemingly simple component. Antenna protection is critical for any RC vehicle—whether you're running a brushless RC monster truck at high speed across rough terrain, piloting a brushless RC short course truck through desert-like conditions, racing a brushless RC buggy on a competition track, or operating a waterproof RC boat across water and mud. The antenna protrudes from the chassis and receiver and is vulnerable to bending, cracking and contamination from dirt, sand, mud, water and impacts with obstacles. The vinyl material used in TRX1926 caps offers the ideal balance of flexibility and rigidity: flexible enough to absorb minor impacts without cracking, yet rigid enough to maintain its shape and stay securely in place even during high-G cornering, jumps and aggressive driving. The construction is designed to withstand both the intense vibration generated during RC vehicle operation and exposure to UV light, temperature extremes and moisture that occurs during outdoor RC activities. The spool included with this kit is thoughtfully designed to hold your antenna neatly when your vehicle is in storage or transit, preventing accidental damage and keeping the antenna protected between sessions.

- Do I really need antenna caps for my Traxxas RC vehicle? — Yes, antenna caps are highly recommended protective accessories for any RC vehicle. Your antenna is one of the most exposed components and is prone to damage from impacts, bending, dirt accumulation and water exposure. Protecting it with quality caps ensures reliable radio signal transmission and extends the lifespan of your receiver. Many experienced RC pilots and bashers keep multiple sets of spare antenna caps on hand because they're consumable items that can be lost or damaged during use.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas parts manufactured to the exact specifications of the original components. Choosing genuine Traxxas antenna caps ensures perfect fit, superior durability and long-term reliability compared to cheap aftermarket alternatives that may not fit properly or degrade quickly.
- Can I use these antenna caps on multiple different Traxxas models? — Yes, one of the benefits of these universal antenna caps is that they work across many different Traxxas models. If you're a serious RC enthusiast in the UK with multiple Traxxas vehicles—perhaps a brushless RC monster truck, a brushless RC short course truck and a brushless RC boat—these same caps will protect the antenna on all of them.
- What if I lose one of the antenna caps? — Because this pack includes two caps, you'll have a spare. However, if you lose both or want additional replacements, you can order more packs from RC Model Shop. Having multiple packs in stock is a practical approach for serious RC pilots who bash frequently and want to ensure they always have protection for their antenna.
- Is installation difficult? — Installation is extremely simple. The vinyl caps simply slide onto your antenna—no tools, no modifications and no technical knowledge required. Anyone can install these in seconds, making them accessible to beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts alike.
