Traxxas Short & Long Rod Ends
RPM Rod Ends for Associated and Losi vehicles have been some our best selling RPM parts for over 2 decades! That same engineering, combined with RPM bulletproof materials, has gone into the creation of RPM Rod Ends for Traxxas 1/10^th scale vehicles. These rod ends are tough! The area around the ball stud is thicker than the stock rod end while still allowing a full range of motion of the pivot ball. Additionally, the shank has been redesigned with a pair of flats, making the rod end much easier to work with (versus the stock, round shank). RPM rod ends are sold in sets of twelve to complete most vehicle needs.

RPM Rod Ends cover a wide range of currently available Traxxas vehicles including all versions of the following: Slash 2wd, Slash 4x4, Summit, T-Maxx, E-Maxx, Revo, e-Revo, Slayer Pro 4x4, Stampede 4x4, Rustler VXL, Jato and Bandit VXL.

Tech Notes: RPM short rod ends replace Traxxas stock #5347 while RPM long rod ends replace Traxxas stock #5525. Both versions are sold without pivot balls. Stock Traxxas pivot balls are required for completion.

Shock Shaft Guards
(Fits Traxxas 1/10th Scale Shocks)
Rocks, dirt and debris striking shock shafts lead to dents, dings and burrs, which in turn, leads to torn shock seals. Torn shock seals means leaky shocks and poor shock performance. RPM Shock Shaft Guards shield the shock shaft from those deteriorating elements, prolonging the life of the shock shaft, which improves the long-term performance of the suspension and in turn, prolongs the time between shock rebuilds!

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are a simple design, replacing your stock shock spring cup with one that has a thin but tough shield rising up to the base of the shock body, completely blocking debris from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which prevents debris from building inside the guard as well. The kit comes with replacement oversized shock rod ends, improving durability and consistency on the shock pivot ball. Additionally, we redesigned the top of the rod end so it is square. That square end keys the shock shaft guard for directional control. The front shield of the guard covers over 100 degrees of frontal exposure! RPM Shock Shaft Guards are zero friction protection devices, meaning the guard never touches the working elements of the shock.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are sold in sets of four, including four rod ends for the shocks and are stock replacement items. Nothing more is needed for installation. Check out this partial list of vehicles they will fit: Slash 2wd, Slash 4x4, Stampede 4x4, nitro and electric versions of the Stampede 2wd and Rustler, Bandit, Nitro Sport, T-Maxx & E-Maxx (see tech notes below), and many more including vintage and legacy models.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are available in Black, Green, Blue and our Dyeable White materials. Be sure to check out our FAQ pages here for cool ways to dye and customize our dyeable parts to match or contrast your chassis or paint schemes.

Tech Notes: RPM Shock Shaft Guards fit all Traxxas 1/10th scale molded shocks as well as Traxxas Big Bore shocks but will not fit the Traxxas Jato. They fit the T-Maxx and E-Maxx but will not work with RPM T/E-Maxx A-arms due to clearance limitations on the upper arm.

Adjustable Body Mounts & Posts
Front - fits the Slash 2wd, Rustler & Nitro Rustler
Rear - fits the Slash 2wd, Stampede (2wd & 4x4) & Nitro Stampede

Immediately after releasing our Adjustable Body Mounts for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 (#73932), RPM customers with the 2wd version of the Slash wanted adjustable, more durable body posts too. RPM Adjustable Body posts for the Traxxas Slash 2wd are here and are designed for durability and strength while still allowing you to change the body height on the truck.

Our unique body post mounting system allows the option of using the stock body height on the chassis. The body can also be lowered as much as 3/16” or raised as much as 3/8” simply by moving the posts up or down on the mounts.

This simple, yet clever design is strong enough to handle the toughest of conditions while still allowing enough flex to absorb impacts that could otherwise damage other more fragile internal components of the chassis. Everything about our body mounts and posts are beefier than stock – from the thicker than stock screw mounts to the twin screws holding the body posts on to the mounts. We also use an I-beam shape throughout each mount, which provides the strength these parts need for those less than perfect landings.

Tech Notes: These body mounts and posts are fully height adjustable on the Traxxas Slash. For vehicles listed above other than the Slash 2wd, each part number may be used although adjustability may be limited based on the vehicle used.
