Key Features
- Six Inches of Wide Protection — This bumper spans the full width of your vehicle at six inches, providing comprehensive coverage across the entire front end rather than partial protection from narrower designs. The extended width means more of your vehicle's chassis is shielded from impact.
- Extended 1½ Inch Reach — By extending 1½ inches further out than the stock bumper, this upgrade absorbs impacts before they reach your vehicle's main structure, protecting expensive components like the bumper mount, suspension linkage and chassis.
- RPM's Guaranteed Unbreakable Nylon Blend — RPM uses a specially formulated blend of nylons that is literally unbreakable according to the manufacturer's guarantee. This material absorbs energy from impacts without cracking, splitting or permanently deforming like standard plastic bumpers.
- Vibrant Green Colour — Available in eye-catching green, this bumper not only protects your RC car but also gives it a distinctive appearance. RPM also offers this bumper in black, blue, pink and red, so you can match your vehicle's colour scheme or stand out from the crowd.
- Fits Multiple Traxxas 2WD Models — This bumper is engineered to fit the Electric Stampede, Electric Rustler, Bandit, Nitro Sport, Nitro Stampede and Nitro Rustler, making it a versatile upgrade option for many popular Traxxas vehicles in the UK RC market.
- Direct Stock Replacement — The bumper replaces the stock Traxxas #2735 bumper, meaning installation is straightforward and requires no modifications to your vehicle. If you already own one of the compatible Traxxas models, you can upgrade immediately.
- Heavy Duty Durability — Real-world testing by RC enthusiasts confirms that this bumper withstands repeated, massive impacts without degradation. It is engineered for serious bashers who demand protection that actually works.
- Made in the USA — RPM manufactures this bumper in the United States using quality control standards recognised throughout the RC community, ensuring every bumper meets strict durability and performance specifications.
Technical Performance
The RPM Wide Front Bumper is manufactured from RPM's trademark blend of nylons, a high-impact polymer composite that has earned the trust of RC enthusiasts worldwide. Unlike standard plastic bumpers that crack or permanently dent after a few collisions, RPM's nylon formulation flexes on impact and returns to its original shape, providing years of dependable protection. The six-inch width distributes impact forces across a broader area of your vehicle's front end, reducing stress concentration on individual mounting points. The 1½-inch extension is precisely engineered to position the bumper contact surface ahead of critical suspension and drivetrain components, ensuring that even head-on collisions primarily affect the bumper rather than damaging expensive chassis parts. This bumper is particularly valuable for 2WD Traxxas models like the Stampede and Rustler, which are designed for high-speed bashing and are prone to front-end damage. The green colour is UV-resistant and maintains its vibrant appearance even after extensive outdoor use. Installation is simple, as the bumper mounts directly to your existing Traxxas mounting points without requiring modifications or additional components. Whether you are running your RC car in a UK garden, at a local track, or in competitive bashing scenarios, this bumper has been proven to withstand serious punishment. Customers consistently report that the bumper protects their vehicles during collisions with trees, kerbs, rocks and other obstacles at speed, making it one of the most cost-effective insurance policies for your RC investment.

- Is the material really unbreakable? — RPM uses a specially formulated blend of nylons and guarantees the durability of their bumpers.
