RPM has completely eliminated the through-the-body posts that destroy the scale looks of your Slash. This is done via an ingenious body mount system that uses a scale, mock radiator out back and four unobtrusive screws out front that hide an underbody frame. What's visible on the outside is an ultra-cool, scale radiator (based off of a full-sized desert truck radiator), complete with mock fan blades and fan shrouds (also based off of their full-sized counterpart). The fan shrouds are the key to this clever mounting system because the fan shrouds are the locking mechanisms that lock the body in place! Simply slip the front underbody frame into the adjustable catch up front, then drop the hidden locks below the radiator out back into the lock plate and rotate the fan shrouds until they lock in place. Simple, inventive, RPM strong and extremely scale!
The "No Clip" Body Mounts incorporate vertical adjustability where neither the 2wd nor the 4x4 had before! Now you can drop the body an extra 3/16" (4.8mm) or raise it up to 3/8" (9.5mm) higher than stock. If you're tired of your tires rubbing off that time-consuming / expensive paint job in the wheel wells or if you've dropped your ride for more street performance, our mounts will let you alter that body position effortlessly.
Tech Notes: RPM "No Clip" Body Mounts will not work with the Traxxas On Board Audio System (OBA), nor will it work with the Traxxas Nitro Slash. RPM Body Mounts are designed for use with most stock Traxxas Short Course Bodies, although they will not work with Ford Raptor bodies (#5815, #5815A, #5815R, #5815X, #5826, #5826A, #5826R & #5826X), Rob MacCachren Dodge body (#6833) or the Dakar body (#58044, #5818, #5818A or #5820A). This system has not been tested with any aftermarket bodies and is only guaranteed to fit the stock Traxxas part numbers below or any bodies based off of the #5811 & #6811 body styles. The following stock Traxxas part numbers represent a partial list of compatible bodies:
No Number Plate Bodies: 5811, 5811X, 5816, 5817, 5819 & 5825.
