The TXM201R is a precision-engineered rear body shell latch developed for TRAXXAS X-MAXX platforms to improve rear-shell retention under rotational and impact loads. Manufactured from 7075 aluminium alloy and profiled with a dedicated locking geometry, the part aims to resist deformation and maintain engagement during 360 degrees rotation, hard landings and high-energy impacts. It replaces the OEM rear locker at the vehicle's rear body-shell mounting location.
The latch is delivered with installation hardware specified by the supplier: the rear shell piece, Grade 12.9 cap head and flat head screws, a 3.0 lock nut and a spring. Installation strategy focuses on mechanical stability and repeatable fitment using existing shell mounting points, with no requirement to alter the shell for correctly listed compatible models. Routine inspection of fasteners after high-impact runs is recommended to retain optimal performance.
For technical users requiring a durable, CNC-ready replacement, the 7075 alloy TXM201R latch provides increased strength and consistent locking engagement to reduce shell loss during extreme manoeuvres.
