Upper chassis plate specification

The aluminium upper chassis plate is supplied as a single replacement component for TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST platforms and is catalogued as SST014. It is intended as a metal alternative to the original upper plate to support tuning, setup iteration, and routine maintenance tasks.

Assembly notes: the plate locates at the factory upper panel position on the 1/18 LaTrax SST chassis. Installation calls for removal of the body and upper fasteners, reuse of compatible hardware, and common workshop tools such as a hex driver for secure fitment.

Tuning considerations: replacing the top panel with an aluminium plate changes stiffness distribution and alters the chassis feedback during adjustments. This makes the SST014 useful for setup testing when combining with different suspension parts or shifting mass for handling evaluation.

Specifications

  • Item: Aluminium upper chassis plate - 1pcs
  • Material: Aluminium
  • Model Number: SST014
  • Compatibility: TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST

For technicians and experienced hobbyists seeking a straightforward metal replacement for the LaTrax SST upper panel, the GPM SST014 delivers a practical option for setup and maintenance; confirm fit and fastener compatibility prior to final assembly.

What is the intended function of SST014?

SST014 is a replacement upper chassis plate designed to occupy the factory upper plate location on TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST and is supplied as one aluminium panel.

Which tools and parts are required for fitting?

Standard workshop tools and a hex driver are required to remove and refit the upper-chassis fasteners. Reuse existing compatible screws from the original assembly where appropriate.

How does the material change affect setup work?

Aluminium modifies stiffness distribution and chassis feedback, which can influence tuning outcomes. Use SST014 when evaluating different suspension settings or mass distribution to compare behaviour against the stock plate.

Does the supply include mounting hardware?

The item is supplied as a single aluminium upper chassis plate (1pcs). Mounting screws and other hardware should be reused from the vehicle unless the parts vendor lists extras.
