Key Features
- Authentic Chrome Finish — The polished chrome plating provides a genuine, scale-appropriate appearance that replicates real truck bumpers with impressive realism. This finish is durable and resistant to the rigours of regular RC use, maintaining its reflective shine even after extended outdoor sessions.
- TRX-4 Specific Design — This bumper is engineered precisely for the Traxxas TRX-4 1979 Chevrolet Blazer and K10 bodies, ensuring perfect alignment, clearance and fitment without requiring modifications to your crawler. This tailored approach means installation is straightforward and the bumper functions exactly as intended.
- Complete Mounting System Included — The package includes a dedicated bumper mount bracket, eliminating the need to source compatible mounting hardware separately. This integrated approach saves time and ensures the bumper is secured properly for reliable performance during crawling sessions.
- Stainless Steel Fasteners — Two 3x8 mm button cap screws (BCS) are supplied with the bumper, providing secure fastening and corrosion-resistant assembly. These precision fasteners are engineered for reliability and are matched to the mounting system for optimal performance.
- Pair Configuration — This package contains 2 complete bumper units, allowing you to outfit multiple TRX-4 models or maintain spare bumpers for different body shells and configuration setups. The pair format also provides value compared to purchasing individual units.
- Scale Authenticity — As an official Traxxas component, this bumper contributes to the overall scale appearance of your TRX-4, important for collectors and serious RC enthusiasts who value accurate representation of real-world truck design and proportions.
- Protective Functionality — Beyond aesthetics, the bumper provides impact protection for the rear body of your TRX-4, helping shield the bodywork from minor collisions and debris encountered during off-road crawling adventures.
