RPM RED FRONT BULKHEAD FOR TRAXXAS 1/10 SCALE 2WD VEHICLES RPM73759

Overview

The RPM RED FRONT BULKHEAD FOR TRAXXAS 2WD VEHICLES is one of the most highly sought-after RPM parts available, representing the ultimate in design, strength and durability for 1:10 scale RC car enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're a serious racer looking to fine-tune your suspension geometry or a weekend basher seeking maximum reliability, this front bulkhead delivers engineering excellence that transforms the handling characteristics of your Traxxas 2WD vehicle. RPM's engineers spent considerable time analysing the original stock front bulkhead and discovered a critical flaw: the stock bulkhead does not sit flat, which seriously compromises suspension settings and adjustments. This discovery led to the development of the RPM Front Bulkhead, engineered to sit flawlessly level every single time.

If you're running a Slash 2WD, Nitro Slash, Bandit, electric or nitro Rustler, Stampede 2WD, Skully, or Craniac, this is the replacement front bulkhead you've been waiting for. Built from engineering-grade nylons manufactured right here in the USA, this component combines strength you can rely on with the precision engineering that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The RPM Front Bulkhead comes backed by a limited lifetime warranty against breakage, giving you complete peace of mind. Ready to run RC cars depend on accurate chassis geometry, and this bulkhead ensures your front kick angle and A-arm angles are perfect, providing a superior platform for precise suspension adjustments that will dramatically improve your vehicle's performance on any terrain.

RC Model Shop stocks genuine RPM products for discerning UK RC enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on quality. If you're upgrading your Traxxas 2WD buggy, truck, or short-course racer, this front bulkhead is an essential investment that will transform your driving experience.

Key Features

• Perfectly Flat Design — Unlike the stock Traxxas front bulkhead, the RPM version sits completely flat without any warping or distortion, ensuring your front kick angle and A-arm suspension geometry are perfectly accurate every time you run your vehicle.
• Cored Out Bottom Construction — The bottom of the bulkhead has been intelligently cored out to achieve two critical benefits: it allows the bulkhead to sit absolutely flat on your chassis, and it significantly reduces weight compared to the stock bulkhead.
• Over 15% Lighter Than Stock — By removing material through the coring process, RPM has engineered a front bulkhead that weighs substantially less than the original Traxxas component, improving overall vehicle dynamics and responsiveness.
• Adjustable Weight Bias System — The cored-out design creates a convenient cavity where you can insert modelling clay to fine-tune the weight distribution of your RC car, allowing you to dial in the perfect front-end feel for your driving style and track conditions.
• Included Dust Plate — RPM includes a handy dust plate that covers the bottom of the bulkhead on vehicles such as the Rustler, Stampede and Bandit where the underside is left exposed, preventing dirt and debris build-up that could affect handling and vehicle weight.
• Engineering Grade Nylon Construction — Manufactured from RPM's bulletproof blend of engineering-grade nylons, this bulkhead offers exceptional strength and durability that will withstand aggressive bashing and competitive racing abuse.
• USA Manufacturing — Proudly manufactured in the United States, RPM components are built to the highest standards with rigorous quality control ensuring consistency across every unit.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty — Each RPM Front Bulkhead comes with RPM's limited lifetime warranty against breakage, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in this component's durability and reliability.
• Direct Stock Replacement — This bulkhead is a stock replacement part that directly replaces Traxxas components numbered #2530 and #2530A, making installation straightforward for experienced RC enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
• Compatible with Multiple Models — The RPM Front Bulkhead fits the complete range of Traxxas 2WD vehicles including Slash 2WD, Nitro Slash, Bandit, electric Rustler, nitro Rustler, nitro Stampede, electric Stampede 2WD, Skully and Craniac, making it a versatile upgrade for multiple vehicles in your collection.

Technical Performance

The RPM RED FRONT BULKHEAD represents a significant engineering improvement over stock Traxxas components for 1:10 scale 2WD vehicles. Constructed from engineering-grade nylon manufactured in the USA, this bulkhead has been specifically engineered to maintain a perfectly flat surface, eliminating the geometry issues found in the original stock #2530 and #2530A bulkheads. The innovative cored-out bottom design serves dual purposes: firstly, it enables the bulkhead to achieve perfect flatness across its entire surface, which is critical for maintaining accurate suspension geometry; secondly, it reduces the overall weight of the component by more than 15% compared to stock, translating to improved handling characteristics and better weight distribution across your RC car. The cavity created by the coring process allows drivers to insert modelling clay for fine-tuning weight bias, giving you unprecedented control over your vehicle's balance characteristics. This level of customisation is rarely found in replacement suspension components and demonstrates RPM's commitment to performance-oriented design. The included dust plate provides essential protection for open-bottomed vehicles like the Stampede and Rustler, preventing the accumulation of dirt and debris that could negatively impact handling. Whether you're a competitive racer who demands perfect chassis geometry for competition success, or a weekend basher looking to maximise your vehicle's durability and performance, the RPM Front Bulkhead delivers measurable improvements in suspension accuracy, weight distribution, and overall vehicle dynamics.
