- Powerful LED Lighting — The integrated LEDs are specifically engineered to glow brightly and provide authentic lighting effects even in bright outdoor conditions, ensuring your Rustler 4X4 looks impressive whether you're driving in daylight or darkness on your favourite RC circuit or off-road terrain.
- Automatic On/Off Operation — The LED lights switch on automatically when you power up your vehicle and switch off when you power down, providing convenient operation without requiring separate switches or additional wiring beyond the standard power harness connection.
- Easy Installation — Installation takes just 15-30 minutes of bench time with no complex modifications required, simply plug the power wire harness into your receiver, remove your original bumper, route the wires through the shock towers, and secure the new LED bumper with the existing hardware.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Front Bumper TRX6791 is engineered with the same precision and build quality that characterises all genuine Traxxas replacement parts for their popular Rustler 4X4 platform. The bumper assembly is constructed to withstand the rigours of RC driving whilst providing a protective function for your vehicle's front suspension and steering components. The integrated LED lighting system is powered through a dedicated power wire harness that connects to your receiver, specifically designed to connect to either of the two Channel 1 ports on your receiver, or alternatively to the CH3 port on compatible receivers — importantly, the harness should not be connected to V/T or RPM slots on TSM receivers. The LED lights themselves are engineered to be bright and visible in all lighting conditions, providing authentic lighting effects that enhance both the appearance and usability of your Rustler 4X4. The bumper assembly allows for proper routing of power wires through your shock towers with minimal slack to prevent interference with moving parts whilst maintaining enough flex to accommodate chassis movement during aggressive driving. The electrical system integrates seamlessly with the receiver and existing electrical harness of your Rustler 4X4, and the design accommodates all standard 2S or 3S LiPo batteries that are typically used to power these vehicles, though the LED lighting operates independently of your motor ESC system.
