They can be attached using standard hardware and come as separate items. Also new and machined from 2.5mm carbon fibre are carbon fibre servo spacers.

Traxxas X-Maxx heavy-duty roof skids

Traxxas have introduced their new heavy-duty roof skids for the X-Maxx monster truck. Just like the company’s heavy-duty suspension arms, the new roof skid plates use a very tough composite material, offering just the right amount of flex to resist breakage – even in cold weather. The accessory skids protect the roof during rollovers and come in six dynamic colours for custom designs. In order to install the roof skid on the X-Maxx, owners will also need to install the Traxxas #7713X rear body support. The new rear body support replaces the existing support and provides bosses to attach the roof skid.
