Bulkheads

Fast Lane T-Maxx Bulkheads

Testing and Final Thoughts


The Fast Lane aluminum bulkheads are a very strong alternative to the stock plastic ones. Since I've installed them and run the truck through a rigorous testing process, I still have nothing but good things to say about them. They have stood up to the abuse I've thrown their way very well. Better than some other aluminum bulkheads I've seen that are made out of much cheaper aluminum which can be prone to bending.

Fast Lane Machine only offers a natural finish on their parts, so you won't get the option of colored anodized parts from them. Overall I really like a natural finish myself, as it is less prone to showing the scrapes and scratches that occur over time. With an anodized finish, scratches stand out, but the color still does appeal to many hobbyists and may be a small disadvantage to those who care for colored parts.

Fast Lane Machine has produced top of the line bulkheads, and made them very affordable for the hobbyist. At around $50.00 a pair they are a steal, especially considering the material used. You would have a hard time finding a better quality bulkhead, using 6061 T6 aluminum for any less than what Fast Lane is charging. You only have to buy a few replacement pairs of bulkheads before you could have purchased the ones from Fast Lane and have a much strengthened chassis.
