This is an optional RPM Traxxas Slash 4x4 Front Bumper & Skid Plate (Blue).
Our three-piece Front Bumper design for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 is simple, yet strong and effective. We made it that way to give the Slash owner the option of full front-end protection with all three components installed. Alternately, they can remove the bumper and use the skid plate mount and skid plate as a light-weight alternative. Running the skid plate alone sheds 27 grams (almost a full ounce) from the front end of the truck. Once the race is over, simply reinstall the bumper and full bash protection is once again available!
Our front bumper design eliminates the bumper support ring and the 4 screws behind the stock bumper. It also uses a thicker skid design to supply the cushioning resistance a basher-proof bumper needs. Without the bumper support ring, frontal impact crash energy cannot transfer into the upper half of the differential housing. We supply longer bumper mounting screws as well, so any impact energy from down low has less of a tendency to pull the mounting screws out from the bottom half of the differential housing. With an RPM impact-absorbing front bumper installed, energy transference from frontal impacts is significantly reduced.
RPM front bumpers for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 are available in three color options: black on black, blue on blue or a chrome bumper on a gray skid plate. We’re so confident in the strength and durability of these new bumpers that they too come with our unbeatable factory warranty protection.
Suggestions: RPM light canister sets (RPM #80982 & #80983) fully integrate with our new Slash 4×4 front bumper and skid plate. Optional light canisters give the Slash 4×4 that awesome Desert Racing Truck look. They also open the 4×4 up to the addition of LED lights for nighttime fun!
Tech Notes: The RPM Front Bumper for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 replaces stock Traxxas TRA6835.
