Overview
The FTX Zorro Rear Bumper Set is an essential replacement chassis spare part designed specifically for FTX Zorro Trophy Truck models. This rear bumper assembly is engineered to protect the rear end of your RC car during intense off-road driving, bashful weekend sessions, and competitive racing. Whether you're navigating rocky terrain, tackling jumps, or pushing your 1/10 scale RC truck to its limits, a quality rear bumper is crucial for protecting your vehicle's chassis and drivetrain components from impact damage. The FTX Zorro is renowned in the RC community as a capable and durable trophy truck platform, and maintaining it with genuine OEM parts ensures optimal performance and longevity.
This rear bumper set is designed as a direct replacement or upgrade for owners of FTX Zorro Trophy Truck models in both Nitro and Brushless RTR configurations. If you've damaged your existing bumper during an accident or simply want to refresh your truck's protection, this authentic FTX part guarantees perfect fitment and compatibility. Available in the UK through RC Model Shop, this is a genuine FTX chassis spare that serious RC enthusiasts and casual bashers alike rely on to keep their vehicles in top condition. For anyone running a Zorro Trophy Truck, whether brushless or nitro-powered, having spare bumper components on hand is a smart investment that minimises downtime and keeps your RC truck ready for action.
RC car ownership in the UK is thriving, and the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck range has earned a loyal following thanks to its combination of speed, handling, and rugged durability. The rear bumper is one of the most vulnerable areas on any RC vehicle, as it absorbs impacts from rear-end collisions, hard landings, and aggressive terrain interaction. This genuine FTX replacement ensures you're using factory-specification protection rather than aftermarket alternatives that may not fit as precisely or provide the same level of protection.

Technical Performance
The FTX Zorro Rear Bumper Set is engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of 1/10 scale trophy truck racing and bashing. Trophy trucks are purpose-built for high-speed off-road driving across varied terrain including rocks, sand, mud, and jumps, making robust bumper protection essential. The rear bumper absorbs impacts from rear-end collisions, landing impacts from jumps, and contact with obstacles during technical crawling sections. FTX has designed this bumper to match the structural integrity and protective qualities of the original equipment, utilising materials and construction methods proven through the Zorro platform's real-world testing in competitive and recreational environments. The bumper set is engineered to withstand the stresses of both Nitro and Brushless powered Zorro Trophy Trucks, meaning it's suitable for high-powered RC driving with motors delivering significant torque and speed. By fitting genuine OEM FTX components, you maintain the chassis integrity and performance characteristics that make the Zorro platform so popular among UK RC enthusiasts.

When purchasing from authorised UK retailers like RC Model Shop, you receive genuine FTX components with full compatibility and quality assurance.
- Why do I need a rear bumper for my RC car? — The rear bumper protects the most vulnerable rear section of your chassis during off-road driving. It absorbs impacts from jumps, rear-end collisions, rocks, and obstacles, preventing damage to the transmission, differential, and chassis structure that would otherwise be costly to repair.
- Can I fit this bumper myself? — As a direct OEM replacement part, the rear bumper set is designed for straightforward installation on compatible Zorro Trophy Truck models. Most RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge can complete the installation, though consulting your vehicle's manual is recommended for detailed fitting instructions.
- What's the difference between Nitro and Brushless Zorro models? — The Nitro Zorro Trophy Truck uses a glow-plug nitro engine requiring fuel and ongoing maintenance, while the Brushless RTR variant uses an electric motor powered by rechargeable LiPo batteries. Despite the different powertrains, both models share the same chassis platform and use the same bumper components, so this part fits both variants seamlessly.
- How durable is this rear bumper? — FTX rear bumpers are constructed to absorb repeated impacts during aggressive driving. However, extreme collisions may eventually cause wear or breakage, which is why having spare bumper components is practical for serious RC enthusiasts who drive frequently.
