Overview
This is a High-Performance Crawler Bumper set for SCX10™ III. Pro-Line is proud to introduce a new upgrade bumper designed to extract the maximum possible performance from your SCX10™ III! This new bumper set is for rock crawlers who value simplicity and functionality.
This bumper set was designed from the ground up to achieve the best ground clearance, tire clearance, and approach angle possible while maintaining a Scale Appearance. The bumper is moved up and back into the chassis, making it a perfect fit with our high-performance bodies such as the Cliffhanger (PRO356600, PRO361500 Cab-Only) and Coyote (PRO361700). The front bumper mount features tabs for our 2" Ultra-Slim lightbar (PRO635200) with cable hooks to keep the wires out of the way, or you can mount two D-Rings for scale recovery (not included). A built-in winch cable slot acts as a fairlead for your recovery winch (not included).
The new rear bumper adds versatility to your rig, with 3 different looks to suit your build:
- Use the included plugs in the rear for a minimalist bumper that has a smooth, finished look with a maximum departure angle
- Flip the plugs around to utilize the D-Rings hook mounts (hooks not included)
- Use the through holes to turn it into a bumper mount for the stock Axial® bumper, allowing you to bring the bumper closer to the frame rails. This adjustability allows the stock bumper to fit a wider range of bodies and increases the departure angle.
The bumper set is a direct fit on your SCX10™ III and is Made in the USA from sleek matte black nylon. Don't get hung up on the rocks, get your new High-Performance bumper set today!

Key Features
- Designed for Maximum Performance — Every aspect of this bumper set has been engineered to extract the maximum possible performance from your SCX10 III rock crawler, ensuring you get better angles and clearance than stock setups.
- Increased Approach & Departure Angles — The bumper design maximises approach angle at the front and departure angle at the rear, allowing your crawler to navigate steeper climbs and descents without getting hung up on rocks or obstacles.
- Superior Ground Clearance and Tyre Clearance — By moving the bumper up and back into the chassis, this system achieves the best possible ground clearance whilst maintaining adequate tyre clearance, preventing rub marks and damage during aggressive climbing.
- 2 Inch Light-bar Ready — The front bumper features integrated mounting tabs specifically designed for the Pro-Line 2 inch Ultra-Slim lightbar (sold separately), allowing you to add realistic LED lighting to your build.
- Cable Management Hooks — Dedicated cable hooks keep wires organised and out of the way, preventing tangling and damage during operation.
- Built-in Winch Cable Fairlead — An integrated slot acts as a fairlead for your recovery winch (not included), allowing you to add winch functionality whilst keeping cables properly guided and aligned.
- D-Ring Recovery Mounts — The front bumper features mounting tabs for two D-Rings (not included), enabling scale-realistic recovery point configuration for serious rock crawlers.
- Three Different Rear Bumper Configurations — The rear bumper offers exceptional versatility with three distinct looks: use the included plugs for a minimalist, smooth finish with maximum departure angle; flip the plugs to access D-Ring hook mounts for recovery gear; or use the through-holes to mount the stock Axial bumper closer to the frame rails, increasing departure angle further.
- Perfect Fit with High-Performance Bodies — This bumper set is specifically designed to work seamlessly with Pro-Line's high-performance crawler bodies including the Cliffhanger and Coyote, ensuring excellent fitment and proportions.
- Direct Fit Installation — Designed as a direct fit for all Axial SCX10 III variants, installation is straightforward with no modification required.

Technical Performance
This High-Performance Crawler Bumper Set demonstrates Pro-Line's engineering excellence through meticulous attention to angles, clearance, and functionality. The system has been engineered to achieve the absolute best approach angle at the front and departure angle at the rear whilst maintaining scale appearance—a balance many aftermarket bumpers fail to achieve. The front bumper mounting location has been carefully positioned to move up and back into the chassis, maximising ground clearance whilst ensuring tyres maintain proper clearance during suspension articulation. The bumper is constructed from durable matte black nylon, a material chosen for its balance of rigidity, impact resistance, and weight savings compared to heavier alternatives. This construction method also allows for the integration of sophisticated mounting features including light-bar tabs, cable hooks, and winch fairlead slots without compromising structural integrity. The rear bumper's three-configuration design demonstrates innovative engineering: it provides a minimalist look with smooth plugs for maximum departure angle, can be switched to D-Ring configuration for recovery operations, or adapted to mount stock Axial bumpers closer to frame rails. This flexibility ensures the bumper system works with a wider range of bodies and building preferences. For rock crawlers in the UK or internationally, this represents a significant upgrade over stock bumper systems, delivering measurable improvements in articulation, clearance, and obstacle-conquering capability.
