Technical Performance
The Traxxas rear bumper assembly is engineered specifically for the 1/10 scale Slash 2WD platform, a legendary short course truck in the RC hobby that has dominated UK racing and bashing communities for years. This pink rear bumper component works in concert with the Slash 2WD's proven suspension geometry and chassis design to provide maximum protection to the rear end of your vehicle. The bumper features a wide, flat profile based on real full-sized short course and baja-style bumper designs, which not only looks scale-authentic but also maximises the surface area available to absorb and deflect impact energy. When properly installed with the included mount, this bumper will prevent most rear-end impacts from causing negative effects to the truck's structural integrity or performance. The pink colour is a factory finish option that maintains consistency with Traxxas quality standards, ensuring the paint and plastic construction will withstand exposure to UV light, moisture, and the general wear and tear associated with outdoor RC activities. The assembly is straightforward to install, with all necessary mounting hardware included and clear instructions provided, making this an accessible upgrade for RC car enthusiasts of all experience levels in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this pink rear bumper fit my Traxxas Slash 2WD? — Yes, this is an official Traxxas part designed specifically for the Slash 2WD platform. It will fit all variants of the Slash 2WD, including the standard model, the VXL-3S brushless version, and the Extreme HD variant. However, it will not fit the Nitro Slash 2WD or the Slash 4×4, so please verify your specific model before ordering.
- Do I need a separate bumper mount? — This product includes both the rear bumper and the mount assembly, so you have everything needed for installation. However, Traxxas recommends using a dedicated rear bumper mount component for optimal crash and bash protection, which can be purchased separately if desired.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, this is an official Traxxas component bearing the manufacturer part number TRX5836P, ensuring authenticity and guaranteed compatibility with your Slash 2WD.
- Why should I upgrade to an aftermarket rear bumper? — The rear bumper protects critical components including your motor mount, spur gear, and rear differential housing from impact damage. A quality aftermarket bumper absorbs energy from crashes, preventing costly repairs and extending the lifespan of your RC truck.
- Will the pink colour fade in sunlight? — Traxxas uses durable paint finishes designed to resist UV degradation and weathering. However, like all painted RC components, exposure to intense sunlight over extended periods may gradually fade the colour slightly, which is normal for outdoor RC equipment.
- Can I add mud flaps to this bumper? — This is a Traxxas original equipment bumper. Whilst some aftermarket bumpers like those from RPM include mounting positions for optional mud flaps, the specifications of this particular Traxxas bumper should be verified before attempting to attach third-party accessories.
