TRAXXAS XRT 8S Aluminum 7075-T6 Front Bulkhead Cover by GPM XRT048C  [XRT048C]

Front bulkhead cover for XRT 8S

This aluminum front bulkhead cover is an RC-scale replacement part produced by GPM for the TRAXXAS XRT 8S platform. It is designed to sit over the front gearbox and retain the front steering components, adding structural support to the chassis front end to reduce the chance of breakage under load.

Functionally the cover holds the front steering assembly in position and shields the front gearbox area, which helps maintain alignment under heavy steering inputs. The part’s primary role in tuning is structural: by stiffening the chassis nose it can deliver more consistent steering feedback and help the vehicle track truer during high-speed runs or rough-surface driving.

Installation follows the vehicle’s existing mounting points and replaces the stock front cover; no additional custom parts are required. As with any hop-up, confirm fit against the XRT 8S mounting locations and check clearances around steering linkages and the gearbox before final tightening.

Use this GPM front bulkhead cover when you need a direct-fit aluminum replacement to strengthen the XRT 8S front end and maintain consistent steering geometry during demanding RC use.
