Upper bulkhead reinforcement for X-Maxx

This stainless steel tie bar set is a direct-fit aftermarket component for TRAXXAS X-Maxx platforms. The two tie bars connect the front and rear upper bulkhead mounting points to reduce flex and increase stiffness at the upper chassis junctions on 1/8-scale X-Maxx vehicles.

Supplied as a 2pcs kit for RC-scale application, the parts are intended for users seeking a metal upgrade to support heavier drivetrain components or tighter tuning without modifying the stock bulkhead layout.

Assembly notes: the tie bars mount to the factory bulkhead locations on compatible TRAXXAS models. Check alignment and clearance with steering and suspension linkages before final torque. A trial fitting is advised to confirm fitment on your specific truck.

Compatible Models

  • TRAXXAS-1/5 4WD X-MAXX 6S
  • TRAXXAS-1/5 4WD X-MAXX 8S MONSTER TRUCK
  • TRAXXAS-1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4

How do these tie bars affect torsional stiffness?

By linking the upper front and rear bulkhead mounting points, the bars reduce local flex at the top junction, improving torsional rigidity under high drivetrain loads.

Should I recheck hardware after the first runs?

Yes, verify bolt torque and inspect mounting points after initial runs as the assembly settles, and periodically thereafter during routine maintenance.

Is any chassis modification required?

No chassis modifications are expected for correctly listed models; the parts use factory mounting holes. Always perform a test-fit to confirm clearance and alignment.
