GPM Racing 7075 Alloy Body Shell Locker (Rear) for Traxxas 1/5 X-MAXX 6S (TXM201R)

Engineered rear-shell latch for X-MAXX

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.

What materials and tolerances are used for TXM201R?

The latch is produced from 7075 aluminium alloy and finished to workshop tolerances suitable for reliable engagement with factory mounting points; users should verify fitment and clearances during test assembly.

Does the latch require any shell modification for fitting?

The design intends to use existing rear shell mount points on compatible models; confirm correct alignment in a dry fit before final torqueing to avoid unintended shell stress.

Recommended maintenance after heavy impacts?

Inspect Grade 12.9 fasteners, the lock nut and the spring for wear or loosening after heavy landings and replace any compromised components to preserve retention performance.

Are replacement fasteners specified?

Use the same grade and head types as supplied (Grade 12.9 cap head and flat head screws) to maintain the original clamp and torque characteristics of the assembly. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
