Overview
The Traxxas Body mounts & posts, front & rear (complete set) TRX8853X is an essential replacement component for RC enthusiasts maintaining their Traxxas models. This complete set provides everything needed to securely mount and position your vehicle's body at the correct height and angle, ensuring optimal aerodynamics, weight distribution, and overall handling characteristics. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK collector, a weekend basher, or someone who takes their RC hobby seriously, having quality body mounts and posts on hand is crucial for keeping your model in peak condition.
Body mounts and posts are fundamental to any RC vehicle's setup, yet they're often overlooked until they need replacement. The TRX8853X addresses this need with a comprehensive collection of posts in multiple heights, giving you the flexibility to adjust your body position for different driving conditions and track layouts. From serious competitors fine-tuning their ready to run RC vehicles to hobbyists simply wanting to maintain their collection, this parts set delivers the precision and variety expected from Traxxas, one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality RC cars and trucks.
Specifically designed as a replacement part for the Traxxas TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler, this complete set ensures authentic fitment and compatibility. The inclusion of multiple post sizes means you're not limited to a single body height configuration—instead, you can experiment with different setups to find what works best for your driving style and the conditions you face.
Key Features
- Complete Front and Rear Set — This is not a partial kit; you receive body mounts and posts for both the front and rear of your vehicle, allowing you to refresh or repair your entire body mounting system in one purchase rather than buying multiple separate components.
- Multiple Post Heights — The set includes 52mm, 38mm, 25mm, and 6.5mm posts (two of each size), giving you unprecedented flexibility in adjusting your body's vertical positioning to fine-tune handling, aerodynamics, and ground clearance for different track layouts and driving styles.
- Body Post Extensions Included — Two body post extensions are included in the set, allowing you to further customise your body mount height and adapt to different body styles or modifications you may make to your RC model.
- Complete Hardware Package — All necessary mounting hardware is supplied, so you won't need to hunt for additional screws, clips, or fasteners—everything you need for a complete installation is in the box.
- Authentic Traxxas Component — As a genuine Traxxas part, this set guarantees OEM quality, perfect fitment, and compatibility with your vehicle, ensuring that your repair or upgrade maintains the factory standard your model was built to.
- Designed for TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler — This set is specifically engineered as a replacement part for the Traxxas TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler, with proven compatibility and engineering that matches the factory specifications exactly.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Body mounts & posts, front & rear (complete set) represents precision engineering focused on one critical aspect of RC vehicle performance: body mounting. The variety of post heights—ranging from the substantial 52mm posts down to the more subtle 6.5mm options—demonstrates Traxxas's understanding that different driving scenarios demand different body positions. Higher posts increase ground clearance and create a higher centre of gravity, which can improve stability in certain conditions but may affect cornering performance. Lower posts reduce ground clearance and lower the centre of gravity, enhancing cornering grip and aerodynamic efficiency—critical for circuit racing and competitive RC car UK driving. The inclusion of body post extensions multiplies your configuration options, allowing fine adjustments that can make measurable differences in how your brushless RC vehicle or any other model handles. These components are manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards, ensuring durability through countless adjustments and re-positioning cycles. The complete hardware package means no compatibility guesswork; every component works together as intended, maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic alignment of your vehicle's body.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicle is this body mount set compatible with? — The Traxxas Body mounts & posts, front & rear (complete set) TRX8853X is specifically designed as a replacement part for the Traxxas TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler with Winch (model TRX88086-84-BLK). If you own this model and need to replace worn or damaged body mounts, this is the factory-correct component.
- Why would I need different post heights? — Different post heights serve different purposes. Taller posts (52mm and 38mm) provide more ground clearance and raise your body's centre of gravity, which can help in rough terrain or bashing scenarios. Shorter posts (25mm and 6.5mm) lower the body and reduce wind resistance, improving aerodynamic efficiency and lowering the centre of gravity for better cornering on circuit tracks. Having all four heights in one set lets you experiment and find the optimal setup for your driving conditions.
- Is this a complete solution for body mounting? — Yes, this is marketed as a complete set for both front and rear body mounts with posts. It includes all the posts, extensions, and hardware needed for installation, so you don't need to source additional components elsewhere to complete the job.
- How do body post extensions enhance my setup? — The two body post extensions included in this set allow you to stack or layer posts, creating custom heights between the standard sizes provided. This additional flexibility means you can dial in your exact preferred body position without settling for a height that's either too high or too low.
- Will this improve my RC car's performance? — Body mount height directly affects your vehicle's handling balance, aerodynamics, and ground clearance. By having multiple height options, you can optimise your setup for specific conditions—whether you're chasing ready to run RC speed records on a circuit or navigating rocky terrain. Proper body mounting also ensures your vehicle looks factory-correct and professional.
- Do I need any special tools to install these? — The installation process is straightforward and requires only basic tools, typically a screwdriver compatible with the hardware included. The design is user-friendly, making this a suitable upgrade for hobbyists of all experience levels.
