Ahhhh, The Traxxas Stampede 4×4. What a basher this rig is. It is fast, handles well and is just a blast to drive. There are a few issues out of the box I don’t like and today we are going to fix one of them. Whats wrong? Look how high that body sits!

The stock body post are too large. They jack the body up so you can see between the body and the chassis. A lot of people including myself dont care for this look. Plus a high body equals a higher center of gravity.

So whats the solution?? Scroll on down to find out!

JConcepts lowered body mount kit! It includes 4 aluminum body mounts that are smaller than the stock units. They are also crossed drilled for the body pins,meaning that the body clips can be put in from front to back or from right to left.

Here is a picture of the stock mount and the new Jconcepts mount. There is a considerable size difference. Size does matter!  ….wait that’s backwards 😉

Here I have installed the mounts onto the plastic mounting brackets.  Pretty simple. I know the truck is dirty… its a basher!

Check that out.. The truck looks so much better with the body lowered. maybe i should clean it too? Nah! Mud makes it look cool…

A side shot. This really shows ya the difference in the height with the new mounts on.

Well there ya have it. A short little article to take up some space on RcSoup lol. In all honesty we are glad to bring articles to racers and bashers in the rc world. Some might not know about these little gems!

Keep an eye out for more Traxxas Stampede upgrades.
