Overview
Replace the fragile factory plastic front bulkhead cover on your Traxxas X-Maxx with the Hot Racing CNC Aluminum Front Bulkhead Cover. CNC-machined from solid aluminum and finished in a clean black anodized coating with machined accents, this direct-replacement bulkhead cover delivers the strength, rigidity, and impact resistance the X-Maxx's front end demands under 8S brushless power.
The bulkhead cover is one of the most impact-prone components on the X-Maxx — every nose-first landing, every front-end strike, and every cornering tank-slap puts load through this single part. The stock plastic TRA7780 cracks. This aluminum replacement doesn't.
