This rear bumper assembly is engineered to provide maximum protection to the rear end of your RC car whilst maintaining the authentic scale appearance that makes these models so popular with enthusiasts across the UK.

The bumper is specifically engineered for the Fury X platform and Hi-Rock models, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing setup.

This particular unit combines practical protection with the rugged aesthetic that suits crawler and off-road builds perfectly.
If you've damaged your existing bumper during an off-road session, or you're looking to upgrade or refresh your RC crawler's appearance, the FTX9246 is the ideal solution. Available now at RC Model Shop, this is genuine FTX merchandise backed by our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Key Features
- Integrated Shackles — The bumper comes complete with shackles already attached, which means you won't need to source additional mounting hardware or suspension components separately. This integrated design saves you time during installation and ensures the shackles are correctly aligned and secured for optimal performance on rocky terrain and obstacle courses.
- Designed for FTX Fury X and Hi-Rock Models — This bumper is engineered specifically for compatibility with the FTX Fury X platform and Hi-Rock crawler series, guaranteeing perfect fitment without modification or adaptation required. This tailored design means you're purchasing a component that will integrate seamlessly with your existing vehicle without any guesswork or trial-and-error fitting.
- Durable Construction — FTX components are recognised for their robust build quality and ability to withstand the demands of RC rock crawling and off-road driving. The rear bumper is manufactured to absorb impacts and protect critical chassis areas during aggressive driving or accidental collisions with rocks, logs, and other obstacles.
- OEM Quality at Affordable Price — As an official FTX spare part, this bumper represents genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer quality without the premium pricing of some competitor brands. You're investing in authentic FTX engineering at a price point that represents excellent value for money.
- Easy Installation — FTX spare parts are renowned for straightforward, tool-friendly installation. The rear bumper assembly features a design that makes fitting and removal simple, allowing you to get back to driving quickly whether you're performing routine maintenance or replacing a damaged component.
- Part of Comprehensive Bumper System — FTX Fury X owners can purchase this rear bumper alongside the compatible front bumper with shackles (FTX9245) and front/rear bumper mounts (FTX9244) to create a complete protective system around their vehicle, providing 360-degree impact protection.
Technical Performance
The FTX FURY X/HI-ROCK REAR BUMPER W/SHACKLES represents the engineering philosophy that FTX applies across all their spare parts and components: practical durability meeting genuine scale aesthetics. This rear bumper assembly is engineered from materials selected to provide reliable impact absorption whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for optimal off-road performance. The integrated shackles ensure that the bumper assembly functions not just as a protective barrier but as an integral part of your vehicle's suspension geometry and approach/departure angle management. For RC crawlers and off-road trucks operating in rocky terrain, technical trail courses, or competitive rock crawling events, the bumper must withstand repeated impacts from boulders, logs, and uneven ground whilst maintaining alignment and protection integrity. FTX has manufactured this component to meet those demanding requirements. The shackle integration means the bumper works in harmony with your suspension system, allowing articulation and flexibility whilst keeping your chassis protected. This is particularly important for Hi-Rock and Fury X models, which are designed for genuine off-road capability and terrain navigation. The rear bumper mounting points are engineered for secure attachment using the complementary bumper mounts (FTX9244), creating a rigid, reliable protective assembly that won't shift or rattle during aggressive driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX9246 rear bumper compatible with both Fury X and Hi-Rock models? — Yes, FTX designed this bumper to work with both the Fury X platform and the Hi-Rock crawler series. This cross-compatibility makes it an excellent choice if you own multiple vehicles from these product lines or are planning to build both models. Always verify your specific vehicle model before ordering to ensure compatibility with your exact chassis variant.
- Do I need to purchase bumper mounts separately? — The rear bumper assembly includes the shackles but does not include the bumper mounts. For secure, permanent installation, you'll want to order the FTX Fury X Front/Rear Bumper Mounts (FTX9244) separately. However, experienced RC builders may have alternative mounting solutions if they prefer not to purchase the dedicated mounts.
- What is the difference between this rear bumper and the front bumper? — FTX manufactures distinct front and rear bumpers for the Fury X platform, each engineered with slightly different geometry and shackle positioning to suit the suspension and articulation requirements of their respective chassis locations. The rear bumper (FTX9246) is specifically contoured and mounted for rear-end protection and performance, whilst the front bumper (FTX9245) is optimised for front-end approach angles and impact scenarios.
- Can I fit this bumper to my Fury X without any modification? — Yes, the FTX9246 is designed as a direct-fit OEM component for Fury X and Hi-Rock models. Installation requires no modification to the bumper or chassis. Simply attach using the appropriate mounting points and secure with the bumper mounts for optimal stability during off-road driving.
- What should I do if my bumper is damaged? — The modular design of FTX components means you can replace just the bumper assembly without replacing the entire chassis or rear end. This makes maintenance and repairs straightforward and cost-effective. The integrated shackles mean you're replacing the complete rear protective system in one purchase.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, the FTX9246 is a genuine original FTX component. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're receiving authentic FTX merchandise with full warranty and support from an authorised retailer.
