RPM Black Rear Bumper for Traxxas Stampede 2WD RC Truck RPM70832

Overview

The RPM BLACK REAR BUMPER for TRAXXAS STAMPEDE 2WD represents a major upgrade for anyone serious about protecting their RC car investment. If you're running a Traxxas Stampede 2WD and want unmatched scale rear-end protection combined with genuine performance, this is the bumper you've been waiting for. Available now from RC Model Shop, this purpose-built rear bumper brings authentic styling inspired by full-scale vehicle design whilst delivering serious impact protection where your RC car needs it most.

Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or dedicated RC enthusiast building the ultimate Stampede 2WD, the RPM rear bumper adapts to your setup. It works seamlessly with or without a wheelie bar, meaning you can configure your truck exactly how you want it. This versatility, combined with engineering-grade nylon construction and a limited lifetime warranty against breakage, makes this one of the most durable and adaptable rear bumpers available for the Stampede 2WD in the UK RC market today.

What truly sets this bumper apart is the attention to detail. From the upper tubular shape through to the faux stamped sheet metal and scale license plate area, every element has been carefully designed. Add the integrated 5mm LED sockets for custom lighting, and you have a rear bumper that looks as good as it performs. When combined with an RPM Rear Bumper Mount, the protection for your motor becomes nearly indestructible, giving you complete peace of mind during aggressive driving sessions.

Key Features

• Dual-Configuration Compatibility — This rear bumper works with or without a Traxxas Wheelie Bar, giving you complete flexibility in how you set up your Stampede 2WD. Whether you prefer the look and handling of a traditional wheelie bar setup or want to run pure rear-bumper protection, this single product adapts to both configurations.
• Integrated 5mm LED Sockets — Two scale 3-inch square openings are built into the bumper design specifically for 5mm LEDs. These allow you to install custom tail lights, reverse lights, or any other lighting effect you can imagine, transforming your truck into a genuinely unique showstopper (LEDs sold separately).
• Scale Design Excellence — The bumper incorporates design elements from top full-scale bumper manufacturers, featuring an upper tubular shape, faux stamped sheet metal with filleted holes, and a detailed scale license plate area. This isn't just protective equipment; it's genuine model engineering that enhances the visual impact of your Stampede 2WD.
• Engineering-Grade Nylon Construction — Made in the USA from professional-grade engineering nylon, this bumper combines flexibility with strength. The material absorbs impact energy rather than cracking or breaking, which is why RPM backs every bumper with a limited lifetime warranty against breakage.
• Serious Impact Absorption — The RPM bumper supports are engineered with dedicated impact absorption characteristics built into their design. When paired with an RPM Rear Bumper Mount (sold separately), motor protection becomes nearly indestructible, allowing you to drive with complete confidence even during high-impact bashing sessions.
• Compatible Mount Options — The bumper works with either Traxxas or RPM rear bumper mounts (sold separately), giving you the freedom to choose the setup that best suits your needs and budget. This compatibility ensures you can upgrade incrementally without being locked into one manufacturer's ecosystem.
• Tested and Proven Fitment — RPM has tested and guaranteed compatibility with Traxxas #3617, #3617R, and #3617X bodies with minimal trimming required. Other bodies may require additional trimming, but comprehensive instructions are supplied with every bumper.

Technical Performance

The RPM BLACK REAR BUMPER achieves its exceptional performance through careful engineering and material selection. Manufactured in the USA from engineering-grade nylon, this material represents a significant step up from standard plastic alternatives. Nylon offers superior impact resistance, flexibility, and durability whilst maintaining the precision fit that RC enthusiasts demand. The bumper supports incorporate integrated impact absorption characteristics, meaning they don't just protect through rigidity but through intelligent energy dissipation. This is particularly important during hard crashes or aggressive driving where sudden stops and collisions are inevitable. The integrated 5mm LED sockets are designed to work with any standard-sized, round 5mm LED, offering complete flexibility in lighting customisation without requiring proprietary components. The bumper has been engineered to work with multiple mounting solutions: the Traxxas #3677 mount, or the RPM #80902 or #80905 mounts, ensuring that whether you're a Traxxas purist or prefer RPM's engineering approach, you can achieve the configuration you want. When installed with the optional RPM Rear Bumper Mount, motor protection becomes significantly enhanced, with rigid support that can withstand repeated impacts that would damage unprotected components. The scale design elements, including the tubular upper frame and faux stamped sheet metal details, are precisely moulded to maintain their appearance even after extended use, resisting the UV fading and discolouration that affects lower-quality plastics over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the RPM rear bumper work with my Traxxas Stampede 2WD body? — The bumper has been tested and is guaranteed to work with Traxxas #3617, #3617R, and #3617X bodies with minimal trimming required. Other bodies may require additional trimming beyond what is mentioned in the supplied instructions. If you're running a standard Stampede body, you should experience minimal fitment issues, but always check your specific body code before purchasing.
• Do I need a bumper mount to install this rear bumper? — Yes, you'll need either a rear bumper mount or a wheelie bar to install the RPM rear bumper. The bumper is compatible with Traxxas #3677 mount, RPM #80902 mount, RPM #80905 mount, or the Traxxas #3678 wheelie bar. These are sold separately, so factor them into your upgrade costs if you don't already have one installed.
• Can I use this bumper with a wheelie bar? — Yes, absolutely. The bumper is specifically designed to work with or without a wheelie bar. This gives you complete flexibility in your Stampede 2WD configuration. If you want traditional wheelie bar handling and appearance, this bumper works seamlessly with the stock Traxxas Wheelie Bar #3678.
• What lights can I use in the LED sockets? — Any standard-sized, round 5mm LED will work with the RPM bumper. This means you're not restricted to proprietary LED units; you can shop around for the colour, brightness, and type that suits your preferences, whether that's basic indicator lights, RGB programmable LEDs, or high-intensity performance LEDs.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — The RPM rear bumper is suitable for all skill levels. It's not a performance-critical component like an ESC or motor; it's purely protective and aesthetic. However, you will need to source and install a compatible mount separately, which requires basic RC car maintenance knowledge. If you're completely new to RC, we recommend having an experienced RC enthusiast help with fitment.
• Will this bumper break easily? — No. The engineering-grade nylon construction is specifically chosen for impact resistance and flexibility. Unlike rigid plastic bumpers that snap under impact, RPM nylon absorbs energy and returns to shape. Every bumper is backed by a limited lifetime warranty against breakage, which demonstrates RPM's confidence in the durability of their design.
• What is the difference between RPM and Traxxas bumper mounts? — RPM offers their own engineering approach with the #80902 and #80905 mounts, whilst the Traxxas #3677 is the stock option. The key difference is that RPM mounts are engineered to work specifically with the RPM bumper design for potentially better integration, whereas the Traxxas mount is the proven, original option. Both work effectively; your choice depends on whether you want pure RPM engineering or prefer the original Traxxas compatibility.
• Will I need to trim my body to fit this bumper? — Some body trimming may be necessary, particularly if you run lower body height settings or non-standard body shells. The instructions supplied with the bumper provide guidance, and Traxxas #3617 series bodies require minimal trimming. If you're running a different body, allow for the possibility that you may need to carefully trim the rear section to clear the bumper supports.
