Technical Performance
The Traxxas Front and Rear Skid Plates w/ Rear Bumper TRX10835 are manufactured using high-quality materials engineered to withstand the demanding requirements of 4WD short course truck racing and bashing. These components are designed to absorb impacts and protect the critical 10822 chassis platform, which forms the structural backbone of the Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4.

The engineering reflects Traxxas's commitment to durability and reliability, using proven designs that have been refined through years of real-world racing and bashing experience.
