Overview
The Traxxas Fuel Canisters (Black) (2 pcs) / 3x8 FCS (1pc) TRX8022T is an essential scale accessory designed specifically for RC enthusiasts who want to add authentic detail and realism to their 1/10 scale Traxxas TRX-4 crawlers. Whether you're a serious RC trail runner, a weekend basher, or an RC hobbyist looking to enhance your scale model's appearance, these fuel canisters provide the perfect finishing touch that brings your RC crawler closer to life-like authenticity. The black colour scheme ensures these accessories blend seamlessly with most TRX-4 colour variants available on the UK RC market.
Traxxas has earned its reputation as a leader in the RC car industry across the UK and globally, and this accessory pack demonstrates their commitment to providing comprehensive scale detailing options for their crawler range. The inclusion of a precision 3x8mm flat head screw ensures secure mounting, and the package contains two individual fuel canisters, allowing you to position them as needed on your scale model to achieve maximum visual impact. These are the kinds of detailed touches that separate a basic RC car from a fully-realised scale replica that truly impresses at the track or on the trail.
Compatible with a wide range of Traxxas TRX-4 models including the Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne High Trail Edition, Ford F-150 Ranger XLT High Trail Edition, 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer High Trail Edition, 1979 Chevy Blazer, and the Nissan Pathfinder SE-V6, these fuel canisters add authentic workshop and field equipment styling to your RC crawler. If you're serious about achieving scale accuracy and want to take your RC detailing to the next level, these genuine Traxxas fuel canisters are the ideal addition to your crawler setup.
