RPM Front and Rear Bumpers for Losi 1/24 Micro-B RC Buggy RPM72192

Overview

The RPM Front and Rear Bumpers for the Losi Micro-B are essential protective upgrades for anyone serious about getting the most from their 1/24 scale RC buggy. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or just discovering the world of ready to run RC buggies, these bumpers transform your Micro-B from a fragile toy into a genuine bashing machine capable of handling rough play in any conditions. The stock Losi Micro-B leaves your chassis vulnerable to damage during crashes and collisions, but the RPM bumper system provides comprehensive armour that significantly reduces repair costs and downtime.

RPM has completely redesigned the protection philosophy for the Micro-B, moving far beyond the minimalistic factory bumper with an intelligent engineering approach that combines impact protection with integrated chassis skid plates. This dual-purpose design philosophy means you're not just adding bumpers—you're adding a protective system that safeguards the most expensive and challenging component to replace: your chassis. With these bumpers fitted, your Micro-B becomes far more resilient to the inevitable crashes that come with enthusiastic RC driving, whether you're bashing with friends, competing in local RC car UK events, or simply enjoying backyard fun.

Made proudly in the USA and backed by RPM's limited lifetime warranty, these bumpers represent the quality and engineering excellence you'd expect from an established RC brand. They're compatible with stock Losi chassis (LOS-1766) and replace the factory front bumper (LOS-1770), making installation straightforward for both experienced builders and newcomers to the RC hobby.

Key Features

• Oversized Front Bumper Design — The front bumper measures nearly 2-5/8 inches (66.5mm) wide, making it substantially larger than the stock minimalistic factory version. This dramatic size increase means it extends far enough forward to shield your Micro-B from most frontal impacts, protecting the fragile front suspension components and chassis from direct collision damage.
• Extended Front Skid Plate Protection — By extending the front bumper rearward, RPM has created an effective chassis skid plate that protects the underside of your buggy from impacts with terrain and obstacles. This integrated design eliminates the need for separate skid plate purchases and keeps your chassis safe during aggressive off-road driving.
• Comprehensive Rear Bumper System — The rear bumper is 1.5 inches (38mm) wide and extends rearward to protect your Micro-B from overzealous driving from behind, whether that's friends attempting to drive through you or accidental collisions during multi-vehicle RC sessions. This addresses a major weakness in the stock setup where the chassis is completely exposed at the rear.
• Rear Chassis Skid Plate — The rear bumper extends forward to create a 1-5/16 inch (33.4mm) wide chassis skid plate at the rear, providing integrated undercarriage protection without requiring additional components or modifications.
• USA Manufacturing and Warranty — These bumpers are manufactured in the USA using RPM's proven engineering standards and come backed by a limited lifetime warranty, giving you confidence in the durability and quality of your investment.
• Drop-In Compatibility — The bumpers work seamlessly with stock Losi chassis (LOS-1766), and the front bumper directly replaces the stock Losi front bumper (LOS-1770), meaning installation is straightforward without requiring additional modifications or parts.
• Serious Armour for Rough Play — With comprehensive front and rear coverage plus dual skid plates, your Micro-B gains serious protective armour that allows you to drive confidently in rough conditions without constantly worrying about chassis damage and costly repairs.

Technical Performance

The RPM Front and Rear Bumper system represents a thoughtful engineering approach to RC chassis protection. Rather than simply bolting on cosmetic bumpers, RPM has integrated skid plate functionality into both the front and rear bumper designs, creating a multi-layer defence system for your Micro-B. The front bumper's 66.5mm width provides substantial surface area for dispersing impact energy across a wider contact zone, reducing stress on individual suspension components. By extending both forward and rearward, the front bumper creates a protective envelope that guards against the most common impact angles during typical RC driving. Similarly, the rear bumper's design addresses the vulnerability of the stock Micro-B, where the exposed chassis becomes a target for collisions from behind—a particular concern when driving in groups or during multi-vehicle sessions. The integrated rear skid plate (33.4mm wide) protects the underside during impacts with rocks, logs, and rough terrain. These bumpers are engineered specifically for the Losi Micro-B platform using the stock Losi chassis (LOS-1766), ensuring perfect fitment and alignment. The materials and construction methods are consistent with RPM's reputation for durability in the RC community, though the exact material composition is determined by RPM's proprietary manufacturing processes. For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking to maximise the lifespan of their Micro-B and reduce repair frequency, this protection system delivers measurable value through reduced downtime and lower parts replacement costs.
