• RPM Logo Branding — The mud flaps incorporate the molded RPM logo on one side with a blank reverse side, giving you flexibility in how you display the branding on your short course truck.
• Integrated Screw Support System — A pair of molded screw supports are included to prevent fasteners from pulling through the soft rubber material of the mud flaps, ensuring long-term durability and preventing installation failures.

Technical Performance

The RPM Mud Flap System is engineered with meticulous attention to detail and durability. The molded nylon support arms provide the perfect balance of strength and weight, ensuring they won't add unnecessary mass to your RC truck whilst remaining rigid enough to keep the mud flaps positioned correctly during aggressive driving. The rubber mud flaps are manufactured to withstand the rigours of off-road bashings, maintaining their flexibility and resilience through countless impacts with gravel, dirt, grass and asphalt. The inclusion of molded screw supports is a critical engineering detail that prevents fasteners from gradually pulling through the rubber material – a common failure point in lesser-quality mud flap systems. This thoughtful design extends the lifespan of the mud flaps considerably and ensures your investment delivers long-term value. The pre-drilled mounting points on RPM's rear bumper supports eliminate the need for custom drilling, meaning the installation is straightforward and accessible to RC enthusiasts with varying levels of technical expertise. The system adds minimal additional weight to your Slash whilst dramatically improving its visual appeal and scale realism, making it an ideal accessory for anyone looking to transform their truck's appearance without compromising performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the RPM Mud Flaps fit my standard Traxxas Slash? — The RPM Mud Flap System is specifically designed to work with RPM rear bumpers only and will not fit stock Traxxas rear bumpers or other aftermarket rear bumpers. You must use an RPM rear bumper (model numbers RPM81002, RPM81003, RPM81005 for 2WD versions or RPM80122, RPM80123, RPM80125 for 4x4 versions) to install these mud flaps successfully.
• Are these mud flaps easy to install? — Yes, installation is very straightforward. The molded nylon support arms bolt to pre-existing holes in RPM bumper supports using standard fasteners. The system comes with all necessary mounting hardware and requires no drilling or modifications to your vehicle. Most users can complete the installation in under 15 minutes.
• Do the mud flaps affect the performance of my Slash? — The mud flaps add minimal weight and do not negatively impact performance. The rubber material is flexible and won't interfere with suspension movement or other components. They are designed to provide authentic scale realism without compromising your truck's handling or speed characteristics.
• What makes these mud flaps better than other options? — RPM's mud flap system features molded screw supports that prevent fasteners from pulling through the rubber material – a problem common with inferior designs. The system integrates directly with RPM's rear bumper mounting system for perfect fitment and reliability. The rubber material is durable and engineered to withstand aggressive off-road use.
• Can I remove the mud flaps easily if I want to? — Yes, the mud flaps are bolted on using standard fasteners and can be removed quickly if you prefer to run without them. The mounting points don't permanently alter your rear bumper, allowing you to switch between mudflapped and non-mudflapped configurations whenever you choose.
• Are the mud flaps waterproof and weather-resistant? — The rubber mud flaps are manufactured from durable rubber material that is resistant to water, mud, dirt and UV exposure. They maintain their appearance and structural integrity through wet weather use, muddy terrain bashings and long-term storage without deterioration.
