We feel they're an excellent upgrade to the Slash. No more lost clips or ground-down body posts. If those are your concerns, you'll love this set-up!

It is unlikely. We are unaware of any extensions that are designed to work with our No Clip system, although there is some room to move it up and down with the built-in adjustability.

The LCG chassis uses the same body mounting components as the standard chassis. That means our "No Clip" system will fit perfectly on the LCG chassis as well.

There are no dumb questions when you're learning Jason. Welcome to our great hobby! They're called plastic cutters. They look very similar to wire cutters, but the blades are much sharper. Tamiya makes a great set but almost any will work fine. Do a Google search for "plastic cutters" and you'll find a wide range of good options.

It's just the clear version body Traxxas #6811 painted black - traxxas.com/products/parts/6811

Unfortunately, our only "No Clip" body mount options are for the Slash 2wd & 4x4 versions at this time.

Unfortunately we haven't yet found any other aftermarket bodies that will work with our system. There might be some out there, we just haven't heard of one yet.

Thank you for the kudos RN. We love the way the radiator / fan assembly looks too. While an aesthetic only fan assembly isn't in the works just yet, it has been discussed by our product development team a time or two. Hopefully we'll get to making that happen in the near future.

Unfortunately we've only tested and guarantee it works with the stock Traxxas bodies listed.

That's an interesting question suzikirider. While the Slash 2wd and Stampede 2wd share numerous components, the Slash is a longer chassis. I did a rough check, and from shock to shock, front to rear, there's a difference of roughly 1.5" (38mm). For that reason alone, it is highly unlikely our system would allow one of the compatible bodies to fit your Stampede. You may be able to swap to a Slash chassis and use many of the components from your Stampede to do a conversion though. At that point, you'd be good to go.

@@rpm.rc.products Damn! I didn’t take into consideration the length! Thankyou for your reply it is very much appreciated

No it has not, but just from a brief overview, it appears to be the same body style with just a paint change. Contact Traxxas to see if this is the case. You might be able to ask what the unpainted body part number of that version would be and then compare that number to our list of compatible bodies on our website.

It doesn't change the performance of the truck, but it does simplify the removal and installation of the body and you won't lose body clips anymore.

Hi Mike! Unfortunately, they're not sold separately but if you want to get the kit just for the fans, go for it! We think they look pretty awesome too.

Hi Maynard! As long as you use one of the recommended bodies and you don't have other modifications in place that would affect it, yes, it will work with the LCG chassis.

Thank for the Reply !!

They are using LCG in the vid

Thank you for your support RankinBill!

Hi Bob. Thank you for your feedback. The fun part about this hobby is that there are so many ways to go about doing the same thing. Kenneth mentioned the same thing further below in the comments and we do have some valid reasons for cutting out the lock feet instead of installing them after bolting the radiator to the body: First, 13.5mm is a large diameter hole, one for which not many people have a drill bit or body reamer (our guide is geared towards the entry level enthusiast). Yes, it could be dremeled out or cut with an X-Acto blade but then you're basically doing the same thing as what we recommend, only slightly smaller. Next, we thought it would be easier to remove the radiator assembly for whatever reason by simply unbolting the four mounting screws. With the 13.5mm hole, you'll have to unbolt the fan / lock assembly each and every time, which can lead to lost parts. The slots allow the lock feet to slip out, keeping everything clean and assembled. Thank you again for your thoughts and I hope this helps clarify why we chose slots over holes. However, if the holes are more preferential to you, by all means please do so.

Hi Moto! Yes, it works with either the LCG or HCG chassis because it is based off of the stock body mounts, which are identical in both chassis versions.

@@rpm.rc.products thanks this is on my shopping cart now lol. Great video. I will definetly be watching this again when i recieve the kit

Thank you for your feedback Dennis. The fun part about this hobby is that there are so many ways to go about doing the same thing. If you'd like to assemble it with holes instead of slots, please feel free to do so. There are a couple of reasons why we didn't do it that way in our tutorial and instructions. First, using a 17/32" (13.5mm) drill bit for the lock posts through lexan is a sketchy proposition. The body is too thin and large drill bits typically grab when drilling through thin materials. Also, not many people have access to a drill motor that can hold a drill bit over 1/2" in diameter. A step drill would work great but again, not everyone has a step drill available to them. Our instructions are targeted to those individuals with minimal tools. Second, if you want to remove the radiator / locking mechanism for any reason, you'd have to remove the fans / lock feet at the same time. The slots in the body for the lock feet allow the radiator unit to come off as an assembly simply by removing 4 screws. With respect to the nut size, the size we use is perfect for the application. Additionally, there is very little clearance on the back side of the body between the body and the support platform the body rests against. Any larger sized nut will cause interference. If you're worried about the nut pulling through, it's not an issue because we use washers. Lastly, we're not sure why you'd want to 3D print any of the components of our Body Mounting System. Molded components are much stronger than an equivalent 3D printed part and ours have a limited lifetime warranty against breakage so there's no need. Thank you again for your feedback Dennis and we hope this helps clarify the reasoning behind why we made the decisions we did when designing our body mounts..

@@rpm.rc.products sure, thanks for your answer! Yes a normal drill wouldnt work, step drill would indeed, but you could also use the exacto for it. 3d printing was just meant to get a larger surface on the hood, but yes you might not need it. Still both washers in the front and rear seem real small to me compared to the original white washers for the clips. Might not be necessary tho since it clamps the body beween the screw and the part, im sure you figured it out! Plus you could still remove it with it installed since as you say, the body is flexible. Hope you understand my thoughts too

The Dual Fan set-up is actually a component of the RPM No-Clip Body Mounting System. The fan shrouds themselves are the lock that holds the rear of the body to the chassis and comes in the kit.

It is unlikely we will. We typically don't build aftermarket parts for aftermarket parts. It cuts the potential for profit to a bare minimum. I hope you understand our position on this topic and thank you for your support of RPM!

Absolutely! The Single Tire Carrier you see at the beginning of this video is identical to the Dual Tire Carrier in all ways except for the tire mount. The truck in the video is running our Rear Shock Tower as well. Just make sure you're running one of the recommended bodies and you're good to go!

@@rpm.rc.products thanks muchly for the quick reply and yes i have 1 of the recommendations bodies on thier way

Unfortunately not at this time.

Absolutely! The video intro shows a single tire spare tire carrier but it will work with either the single or dual carrier perfectly. Obviously proper body clearing will be needed but otherwise, the two do not interfere.

The wheels are RPM Revolver Wheels. You can find them here - www.rpmrcproducts.com/shop/wheels/2-23-0-short-course-wheels/black-revolver-short-course-wheels-slash-2wd-rr/ Tires are stock Traxxas Kumho Road Ventures.

Duey_didit no it will not. It says on the website. Iw also won't fit the Dakar body

Unfortunately no, this system only works for the Slash 4x4. The bodes between the Slash and Stampede are just too different for them to be compatible.

Hi Rc_KiNg. Unfortunately there aren't any plans for red ARRMA parts from RPM just yet, although that can change at any time. Please continue to be patient with us and with a little luck, hopefully we'll have something for you soon.

RPM R/C Products i hope so alsooo.... i might just go with the black a arms that u guys already have... but I'll wait for something

This kit specifically only works on the Slash 4x4 but we do have a kit designed for the Slash 2wd. The install video can be found here - czcams.com/video/Nt9inRo9weo/video.html

awesome thanks a ton!

We only have versions available for the 1:10th scale Slash right now. It will not work on the 1:16th scale version.

Unfortunately no, it only works on the bodies specified.

Is there a reason you want to use a larger hole than what we recommend in the video? The installation shown in the video works perfectly for the bodies recommended so we can't see a reason to use anything other than what is recommended here.

Thanks B Dog! Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Our "No Clip" Body Mounts have a suggested retail price of $27.95 but I've seen them sold through on-line discounters for quite a bit less.

Ok, thanks!👍

No, not in the works at this time, sorry.

Unfortunately not at this time Traxxas RC Racing. We're waiting to see how well received these will be and go from there.

Hi Adam. Sorry for the delayed reply and thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we don't have anything in the works just yet for the E-Maxx but with any luck, hopefully we will sometime down the road.

Hi John. Thank you for your feedback. The fun part about this hobby is that there are so many ways to go about doing the same thing.

The slots allow the lock feet to slip out, keeping everything clean and assembled. As for strength, either option would be just as strong since the four mounting screws are where the assembly is held together, which is outside of the cut area. We have yet to hear of a single strength issue with our design and mounting method. Thank you again for your thoughts John and I hope this helps clarify why we chose slots over holes. However, if the holes are more preferential to you, by all means please do so.

Unfortunately no, the OBA system interferes with the No Clip Mounting system so the two are not compatible.
