Key Features

- Integrated Bumper Mount System — The complete mounting system is included, making installation straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels, whether you're performing maintenance on an existing model or building a new ready to run RC crawler.
- Impact Protection — The rear bumper provides genuine structural protection by absorbing collision energy, safeguarding the rear axle housing, transmission components and other critical systems mounted behind it during aggressive bashing or scale rock crawling sessions.
- OEM Traxxas Specification — As an official Traxxas component, this bumper maintains the exact engineering specifications of the original TRX-4 design, ensuring perfect fitment and authentic factory appearance without modification or adjustment.
- Durable Construction — The chrome plating is applied over a robust steel or aluminium substrate, providing both corrosion resistance and the strength needed to withstand impacts during active RC off-road use without permanent deformation.

Technical Performance
The TRX-4 Chrome Rear Bumper represents Traxxas's commitment to delivering authentic scale styling combined with genuine protective functionality. The bumper assembly is engineered for the 1/10 scale TRX-4 platform, specifically designed to complement the proportions and weight distribution of the Ford Bronco and F-150 variants. The chrome finish is applied using professional electroplating techniques, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that maintains its lustre even in wet conditions typical of UK RC off-road adventures. The mounting bracket system has been engineered to distribute impact forces across the frame, protecting both the bumper itself and the components it shields. The inclusion of quality stainless steel fasteners ensures that the assembly can withstand repeated impacts without fastener failure or loosening over time. For users who operate their TRX-4 in scale rock crawling environments or aggressive bashing conditions, this rear bumper protection system is invaluable for maintaining the integrity of the drivetrain and chassis. The chrome finish, whilst offering authentic visual appeal, also provides functional corrosion protection, making it suitable for use in the wet British climate without rust concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this chrome rear bumper fit my TRX-4 Ford Bronco or F-150? — Yes, this genuine Traxxas component (part number 8068) is specifically engineered for the 1/10 scale TRX-4 Ford Bronco and F-150 models. The mounting system has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the rear frame of these models without modification or adaptation, ensuring perfect fitment and authentic factory appearance.
- Is this a cosmetic upgrade or does it provide genuine protection? — The chrome rear bumper serves both purposes. Whilst the polished chrome finish delivers authentic styling that replicates real-world truck aesthetics, the bumper and mount system provide genuine impact protection by absorbing energy from collisions and protecting the rear axle housing, transmission and other sensitive components mounted behind it during active use and bashing sessions.
- What tools do I need to install this bumper? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools including a Phillips or hex key driver to secure the fasteners. The complete mounting bracket system and hardware are included, and most RC enthusiasts can complete installation in under ten minutes without special equipment or technical knowledge.
- Why should I replace my bumper if it's damaged? — The rear bumper serves as a sacrificial component designed to absorb impact energy and protect more expensive drivetrain components from damage. If your bumper becomes damaged, dented or cracked, replacing it with a genuine Traxxas component ensures your TRX-4 maintains its protective capabilities and authentic factory appearance without compromising the integrity of your investment.
- Is this chrome finish resistant to corrosion and weathering? — Yes, the chrome plating is professionally applied using electroplating techniques that provide excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in wet British weather conditions and humid environments. The stainless steel fasteners are similarly resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability without maintenance.
- Can I paint or customise this bumper? — The chrome finish can be painted if you wish to match a custom colour scheme on your TRX-4. However, most RC enthusiasts prefer to preserve the factory chrome appearance as it represents authentic 1979 truck styling and adds visual appeal and collectability to the model.
