Overview
The Traxxas Bumpers, Satin finished (Front & Rear) TRX4935 are essential replacement or upgrade components for your TRX-4 scale RC crawler. These genuine Traxxas bumpers come finished in a sophisticated satin silver coating that complements modern RC truck builds whilst providing robust protection for your chassis during aggressive trail running and rock crawling. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running competitive crawler events or a weekend basher pushing your rig to its limits on natural terrain, these bumpers are engineered to take punishment and keep your truck looking sharp.
Available at RC Model Shop, these front and rear bumper sets are designed specifically for the Traxxas TRX-4 platform, one of the most capable and customisable 1/10 scale RC crawlers on the market today. The satin finish gives your truck a refined, professional appearance that stands out from basic painted bumpers. These are genuine Traxxas spares manufactured to exacting OEM standards, ensuring perfect fitment and durability through countless trail sessions. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK looking to refresh their TRX-4 or upgrade from worn bumpers, these components represent an authentic choice backed by the Traxxas brand reputation for quality.
One of the standout advantages of the TRX-4 platform is its modularity and tuneability, and these bumpers play a key role in that story. As detailed in Traxxas' official performance guides, bumper modifications are among the easiest and most effective upgrades you can make to your TRX-4. By flipping the bumper mount brackets, you can achieve significant ride height increases—up to 11mm at the front and 26mm at the rear—which dramatically improves approach and departure angles for tackling steep obstacles. This makes the TRX4935 bumpers not just a protective component but a foundational piece of any performance-focused TRX-4 build.
Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — These bumpers are authentic factory-produced parts engineered to exact Traxxas specifications, ensuring perfect fitment with your TRX-4 chassis and guaranteed compatibility with all TRX-4 models and variants.
- Front and Rear Set Included — You receive both front and rear bumper assemblies, allowing you to refresh your entire bumper system in one purchase rather than buying components separately.
- Satin Silver Finish — The distinctive satin finish provides a refined, modern appearance that looks professional on display and resists the gloss wear that can occur through handling and trail use.
- Performance Upgrade Capability — These bumpers are designed to work with the TRX-4's modular bumper mount system, allowing you to flip mounts for significant ride height increases (11mm front, 26mm rear) with just basic tools.
- Protective Design — The bumpers protect your chassis rails and lower components from impact damage during aggressive rock crawling, enabling you to push harder on the trail with confidence.
- Easy Installation — Installation requires only basic hand tools, making these bumpers accessible to beginners whilst offering serious performance benefits that experienced crawlers will appreciate.

Technical Performance
These Traxxas bumpers are precision-engineered components manufactured to the same standards as the original equipment supplied with new TRX-4 trucks. The satin silver finish is applied through a specialised process that provides superior durability compared to standard paint, resisting fading and wear from UV exposure and trail debris. The bumpers themselves are constructed from durable materials engineered to absorb impact energy whilst maintaining rigidity, protecting the critical chassis structure underneath without adding excessive weight that would compromise your truck's centre of gravity and handling characteristics. The mounting system uses 3x10mm button-head screws that attach directly to the TRX-4 chassis rails, providing secure, reliable attachment that won't loosen through vibration or repeated impacts. The engineering allows for the popular bumper-flip modification, where reversing the mount brackets creates distinct ride height increases—a modification that can be accomplished in approximately two minutes with just a 2mm wrench and basic hand tools. This modularity is central to the TRX-4's appeal in the RC crawling community, and these genuine bumpers fully support advanced customisation strategies. Whether running stock configuration or as part of an extensively modified competition crawler, these bumpers deliver the durability and compatibility that serious RC truck builders demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What TRX-4 models are these bumpers compatible with? — These bumpers are designed for the Traxxas TRX-4 platform and are compatible with all TRX-4 variants including the TRX-4 Sport, TRX-4 Defender, and standard TRX-4 models. They attach directly to the chassis rails using the standard bumper mount system.
- Can I use these bumpers to increase my TRX-4's ride height? — Yes, absolutely. By removing the bumpers, flipping the bumper mount brackets over, and reinstalling the bumpers in their new orientation, you can increase ride height by approximately 11mm at the front and 26mm at the rear. This modification takes roughly two minutes with just a 2mm wrench and is one of the most popular early upgrades for TRX-4 owners.
- What finish are these bumpers, and why does it matter? — These bumpers feature a satin silver finish, which is more durable and resistant to fading than standard paint. The satin coating provides a refined, professional appearance that looks excellent on display and resists the shine wear that can occur through handling and regular use.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) components, manufactured to factory specifications and standards. You can rely on perfect fitment and the durability you'd expect from authentic Traxxas parts.
- What tools do I need to install these bumpers? — Installation is straightforward and requires only a 2mm wrench or hex key. The bumpers attach with screw pins that simply slide in and out, and if you're performing the bumper-flip modification for increased ride height, you'll also need a small Phillips or flathead screwdriver to remove and reinstall the 3x10mm button-head mount screws.
- Will fitting these bumpers affect my truck's weight distribution? — No, these bumpers are lightweight and will not significantly affect your TRX-4's weight distribution or centre of gravity. They're designed to protect your chassis without compromising the vehicle's handling balance.
- Can I use these bumpers with other TRX-4 performance modifications? — Yes, these bumpers integrate seamlessly with other popular TRX-4 upgrades such as raised rock sliders and body trimming modifications. Many RC crawlers combine bumper-flip modifications with rock slider lifts and customised body clearance for maximum obstacle-clearing capability.
