Overview
The FTX Texan 1/10 Bumper Mounts are essential chassis spares designed specifically for the FTX Texan 1/10 scale RC truck. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your vehicle or someone who wants to upgrade and customise their RC car setup, these bumper mounts are a genuine OEM replacement part that ensures your Texan performs at its best. The Texan has established itself as a popular choice among RC car UK enthusiasts, and having access to authentic FTX spares like these bumper mounts means you can keep your vehicle in top condition for years to come.
Bumper mounts play a crucial role in the structural integrity and performance of any RC truck. They secure the bumper assembly to the chassis and help protect the front end of your vehicle during impacts and collisions. For anyone running an FTX Texan as a weekend basher or serious off-road competitor, having quality replacement bumper mounts on hand is smart maintenance planning. Over time, through regular use and impacts with terrain, bumper mounts can crack, wear, or break entirely, compromising both the aesthetics and functionality of your RC truck.
These genuine FTX Texan 1/10 Bumper Mounts (part number FTX9860) are manufactured to the exact specifications required by your vehicle, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance. By choosing authentic OEM spares rather than generic alternatives, you're investing in the longevity and reliability of your RC model.

Compatibility and Installation
These bumper mounts are designed exclusively for the FTX Texan 1/10 scale RC truck. Before ordering, please verify that you own an FTX Texan 1/10 model. These are genuine replacement parts and will not fit other FTX models or vehicles from different manufacturers. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC model tools. If you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle maintenance, we recommend consulting your vehicle's instruction manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts at your local hobby shop.
Why You Might Need Replacement Bumper Mounts
Bumper mounts are among the most exposed and vulnerable components on an RC truck. During off-road driving, they frequently make contact with terrain during jumps, landings, and impacts. Over time, this punishment can cause them to crack, break, or deform. If you notice your Texan's front bumper is loose, misaligned, or moving excessively, it's likely your bumper mounts need replacement. Similarly, if you've had a significant crash and suspect chassis damage, replacing the bumper mounts is a sensible precaution. Having a spare set of these mounts ready to go ensures minimal downtime and keeps your Texan running.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these bumper mounts genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are authentic OEM FTX Texan 1/10 Bumper Mounts manufactured to exact factory specifications. By purchasing from RC Model Shop, you're guaranteed genuine products rather than cheaper imitations that may not fit correctly or last as long.
- Will these fit my FTX Texan 1/10? — These bumper mounts are designed exclusively for the FTX Texan 1/10 scale model. Before purchasing, please confirm you own a Texan 1/10. They will not fit other FTX models or RC vehicles from different manufacturers.
- How difficult are these to install? — Installation difficulty depends on your mechanical experience with RC vehicles. Basic removal of the old mounts and installation of new ones typically requires only standard RC tools and moderate mechanical ability. Consult your vehicle manual for specific installation guidance.
- What happens if my bumper mounts break? — If your bumper mounts break, your front bumper becomes less secure and may move excessively during driving. This can compromise protection of front-end components and may eventually cause further damage. Replacement is recommended as soon as possible to prevent secondary damage.
- Are these parts covered by warranty? — As genuine FTX spare parts, these bumper mounts are supplied new and in unused condition. Warranty coverage may apply according to FTX's standard spare parts policy; please contact RC Model Shop for specific warranty details.
- Can I use these bumper mounts on other FTX models? — No, these bumper mounts are specifically engineered for the FTX Texan 1/10 and will not fit other models in the FTX range or vehicles from other manufacturers. Using incorrect parts can result in poor fitment and potential damage.
- How often should I check my bumper mounts? — For regular weekend bashers, inspect your bumper mounts monthly or after any significant impact or crash. For competition drivers or high-use scenarios, check them more frequently. Replace immediately if you notice cracks, breaks, or looseness.
